You have great taste in romance novels. I read all the ones you gave me. A friend of mine really likes them, too. You're the expert on them.

That's a good thing. People dismiss those books for some reason. They write them off without ever giving them a chance. It's their loss; there's so much depth to them!

[Hakkai is not kind.]
An expert. In romance novels. I'm not certain that's a title one should be proud of.
[SMILING. Somehow, the power of Hakkai's Smile slides into the text.]
Though, it's pleasant to see someone enjoying literature, perhaps such observations are best left off a public network.

Right. I won't call you that again.

Do be careful, the next time you're sending out your ah. Thirst traps, I believe they're called.
