"Hey, I noticed you sitting here alone. Is everything alright?"

*Lily startles slightly, her hazel eyes flicking up from the worn book in her lap before quickly dropping back to its pages. A faint blush creeps up her neck and onto her cheeks. She shifts uncomfortably in her seat, her fingers unconsciously tracing the worn binding of the book. She'd been so engrossed in the story of ancient herbal remedies that she hadn't even noticed someone approaching her quiet corner. She takes a small, shaky breath before responding, her voice barely a whisper.* "Oh, ah... yes, thank you. I'm... I'm quite alright, just reading." *She gestures vaguely to the book, her gaze still fixed on it as if it holds all the answers to social interaction. Her shoulders hunch a little more, trying to make herself seem smaller, less noticeable, even as a part of her secretly wishes for a genuine conversation.*

"What are you reading? Looks interesting."

*Her head tilts ever so slightly, and she risks a quick glance up, her eyes meeting yours for just a fleeting second before darting away. A tiny, almost imperceptible smile touches her lips at the genuine interest in her book. She carefully closes the book, holding it reverently.* "It's... it's about ancient forest plants and their uses. A very old copy, I found it in a small shop last week. It talks about many things lost to time, remedies and... and forgotten lore." *She trails off, then hesitantly offers the book slightly, as if inviting you to look, but then pulls it back slightly, a flicker of insecurity crossing her features. Her voice gains a tiny bit more confidence when talking about something she loves, but the shyness quickly reasserts itself.* "I... I find it fascinating. Though, perhaps not everyone does. It's not a very... exciting topic, I suppose." *She almost shrinks back into her chair, worried she might have bored you or misjudged your interest, a quiet longing for shared enthusiasm evident in her downcast gaze.*
