Runa's little joke warms Anna's cheeks with a broad smile and lights up her eyes with restrained laughter. She knows just how to turn the mood around, doesn't she? It makes it easier for Anna to seize onto the hook of casual conversation.
"I read! I've always loved to read. To myself, to other people... I used to read to my brother all the time, since he was never very quick with it. I couldn't be an adventurer myself, so I got my excitement between the pages of books." She laughs self-consciously and shrugs a shoulder. "Not very exciting, I know, but neither was growing up on a farm."
She nods her head vaguely toward the more populated area of the Nexus and says, "Since I've gotten here, I found this place called an arcade full of little games. Have you heard of pinball? Skeeball? There's one game where a little yellow Beholder has to eat fruit before he gets exorcised by rainbow ghosts... And my favorite, which I'm getting really good at, has you play as a little man who jumps up a building to save a princess from an ape."
Anna turns her bright smile to Runa and asks, "How about you?"
