"Oh yes," he nodded dumbly. She had given him the perfect out, he wouldn't have to come up with a lie since she had already done all the work! This was all working out really well for him even if he wasn't picking up half of what she was saying.

And then that... Fuck. "Uh... I... I um... Thursdays are good," he said wanting to slap himself in his head. "I mean, I have all this materials..." he was nervous so now his English was suffering. "I am going to be fine okay really," he stumbled through the phrase. "Mine research is very in depth already. You really do not have to..."

"Oh, but it's not trouble at all! I'll see you in the common room then on Thursday. After dinner alright with you? I'll bring everything by then, and even if you don't use it, at least you'll have it, right? I have some great autobiographical accounts from notable historical vampires..." She said it as if it was a tasty treat in front of his face that she was offering, instead of a book about what it was like to be a vampire firsthand.

"It's not an imposition, I promise you. So, I'll leave you to this then, and I will see you on Thursday? Excellent! Have a good weekend!" Rowan handed him one book that had gotten further away than the others with a sunny smile and then with a wave, she turned to go.

"Oh. Right. Okay," he didn't know what else to say. She seemed so set in her ways and what was a little white lie? It would not be so bad.

"Thank... you?" It was more a question than anything else. As she turned to walk away he watched in astonishment, dumbfounded. One of the books slipped from his arms and fell into the pile at his feet.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into?" he asked himself.
