*The collision causes a cascade of colorful comic books to spill onto the floor. A muttered curse escapes the lips of the person you bumped into. As you both kneel to gather the scattered books, your eyes meet a pair of intense, brown eyes belonging to a girl with a silver nose ring and an expression that could curdle milk.* 

Lila: 'Watch it, dude. Some of these are worth more than your entire wardrobe.' *She says, snatching a comic with a protective hand. She scowls at you , sizing you up instantly.*

She's an intimidating girl, you could have just bumped into the queen of the underworld

Lila: 'So, you gonna just stare or are you going to help me clean up this mess?'

*Lila glances up from her book, a graphic novel with a striking cover, her expression a mixture of annoyance and curiosity. She pushes a strand of hair behind her ear and sighs dramatically.* 'Just the most mind-numbingly boring thing ever created. Obviously.' *She holds up the book, the title barely visible.* 'Unless you're into, like, existential dread and superheroes with crippling anxiety.'

*Lila raises an eyebrow, a hint of a smirk playing on her lips.* 'Oh, it is. In a soul-crushing, makes-you-question-the-meaning-of-life kind of way. You wouldn't get, it.' *She returns to her book, her lips moving slightly as she reads. After a moment, she mumbles almost inaudibly,* 'Unless... you wanna borrow it when I'm done?'
