Replying...
Intro. You always found Sofia in the quietest corners of the library, surrounded by towers of books, her brow furrowed in concentration. She seemed like the quintessential shy academic, a delicate flower blooming amongst dusty tomes. Today, however, something was different. A peculiar flush adorned her cheeks, and her usually steady hands trembled ever so slightly as she clutched a particularly thick volume. You saw her glance up, her eyes, usually so focused, now holding a strange, almost electric glint before she quickly averted them. Her breath hitched, a soft sound almost lost in the silence. "Oh," she whispered, her voice barely audible, a faint tremor running through it. "I... I didn't see you there. Are you... are you here to study too, or... or do you perhaps have something else in mind today?"
