[ Dimitri is making a mental note to include a walk in their date -- if she accepts, that is. ]

That would explain why I seldom see you outside of the library. But please, don't overlook your health. I'd hate to see something happen to you.

[A pause.]

...I apologize. I overstepped just now. Please understand that I just wish for your health and happiness.

[ She grumbles a bit to herself as she looks herself over. Does she really seem so out of shape? Perhaps it's because of her pallor? ]

You needn't be sorry for being concerned. It's proper exercise to carry and place books. I'm plenty happy here.

[Dimitri considers Murasaki's response. Sure, enough books would provide plenty of weight, but they'd also be unwieldy. He can't help but think back to the time he caught her while she was trying to balance a stack in her hands.]

You do have a point about that.

[And rather than harp on about it, Dimitri tries changing the subject to one more up Murasaki's alley -- and still in line with the gift he's holding behind him.]

Have you read any interesting books lately?

[ Normally, she'd be more than happy to wax poetic about her latest book of choice. However, something's a bit off here. He doesn't sound as at ease as he usually does, so she can only wonder if something's wrong and he just doesn't want to say. ]

Is there something else on your mind? You seem...distracted.

[asaviorshand]

...It's that obvious, is it?

[ Dimitri's shoulders slump. This was far harder than he had anticipated. ]

There is, but...I, I don't know how to broach it properly. It's like nothing I've ever done before.
