He was just happy to have the afternoon off of work and school and to be out and about with her. She was fun. She was perky. She made fun of him but didn't make him feel stupid or silly. She was currently his favorite person in London and perhaps all of Europe.

"You know why pirates had earrings right?" he was saying as they approached the Cauldron Bread stand. Hey, he was still a poor college kid alright?! And these things were pretty good. "They thought that piercing their skin with precious metals could improve eyesight, ward off ill health and have many other positive effects. I wonder who convinced them of that! Probably some crafty colonial wizard."
How-- why??

Anna didn't know how or why Kalen had so much knowledge about the most random things. She was listening, actually, hence her half-confused, half-amused expression as they walked down the street and towards some of the food stands. ".......What?" Was all she could muster at his remarks because, really... what?? "Why didn't they just take some Potion?" She asked with a confused frown, because honestly.... whaaaaa?? "Did they speak funny to ward off some kind of spirit too?" She asked with a snort. Random trivia was random. And she didn't even remember why he was going on about pirates in the first place.

Oh yeah, the book thing. In all honesty, she was kind of curious to see what he would be like reading to her. Ha! That'd be hilarious. She actually couldn't wait - which was saying something because, y'know, it had to do with books. "I'll have the clam chowder, please." She told the vendor, still arm in arm with Kalen. That was right, she was going wild and eating seafood from a potentially dodgy street vendor - le gasp. As they said, you only live once and she was a daredevil former Gryffindor who was dating a student healer, so she knew she would be fine.
