Not that she particularly wanted to see the rest of the place, and not that she expected the books in the library would be the kind to escape into, but the less awkward she appeared in front of the staff, the better. [color=teal]"I used to read a lot, back then, to pass the time... Ehh, maybe books are something else to share, and discuss?"[/color] Maybe, as with the music, she and Roxy would find common points there. [color=teal]"As for the pool, uh, I didn't bring any swimming clothes, but it's worth getting familiar with the place."[/color] She tried not to shudder at the thought that these visits would be a regular occurrence for them.

Roxy's next words, though, brought an inward squirm she couldn't suppress - as did the concern she felt from the anchor, backing them up. [color=teal]"I, well..."[/color] Resignation crept over her. There was no way to hold this off, not without landing everyone in deeper crap. [color=teal]"I'll ask her if she's able to soon."[/color] As much as the thought of playing along disgusted her, there didn't seem to be another option. At least, not right now.
