Ash shook her head at the suggestion of reminding him. "Knowing me, I think you should just write it down right now. I'm terribly absent minded." She was really very interested in his blog, and she knew she would forget if he didn't tell her now. She smiled and even laughed a little at his poor attempt to stay humble, which was quite endearing. She decided to show him her divination skills later, perhaps somewhere where there was actual equipment, and talk about her book right now. "Well," she said, turning slightly pink (she still couldn't believe she'd won anything), "I wrote a book about the war. It won an award for best debut novel and another one for best novel of the year." She was pretty proud of it, actually, though it really made her miserable to write. "Do you want a copy? I can even sign it..."


That was all well and fine too. At the shake of her head, an eyebrow of inquiry started to, but it would stop dead in it's tracks as soon as she started to elaborate on the shake. Kayne's response then would be to grab a pencil from his own bag, and write it down on one of the napkins that was at the table. It wasn't an exciting name really, just a generic, insert-fashion-blog-title here kind. It was a start at the very least of things, and quite frankly things could only go up from there. Sliding it across the way to Ash, he'd offer the same hopeful-for-the-future expression as she. "There ya go, can't be forgetting it now then."

And then his face would turn slightly more passive. Smiling still of course, but more neutrally than before. Ears perked upwards, listening as his royal highness went on about the book she wrote, then promptly the listing both awards attained by it. If there was one thing Kayne certainly knew by the way she described it mainly the passion behind it, even in just its short detail, it was the reason in which she won said awards in the first place. "Presumably non-fiction then?" The question would ring out pondering over what kind of book it was exactly. And he knew, that wasn't to rule out the possibility of it still being fiction. As anything could be turned into a work of fiction, even real life events such as the war. Many people followed that form. But, he'd still go with the assumption. "Regardless of whether it is or isn't non-fiction, it sure does sound lovely. By the way, isn't it obvious? Of course I'd love a signed copy!" He'd add rather ecstatically.
