For the first few images Viatorus leans in, hesitant about coming too close to his fiancée, more out of politeness than anything. But, naturally, when Harrowheart starts comparing it to one of the most entrancing descriptions he's ever heard, he starts to pay more attention. Beside him, Runa's smile reaches her eyes at the topic of giants and nymphs. She's just opening her mouth to comment when the alarm goes off, startling Viatorus nearly out of his seat.

"I will help you," Runa corrects and chirps,"You can wash and I can dry!"

Viatorus sits straight again, suddenly looking uncomfortable. "Oh, I… I should help too…"

"There is really not much to do," Runa tells him and gently pats his arm. "You did say you wanted to do some reading today. We can take care of the cleaning." Before he can properly protest, she stands and turns her full attention to Harrowheart as she leads him to the kitchen. It takes a minute and then she laughs at herself, smiling at Harrowheart. "You must know your way better than me."
