Excited squeeing.

"No promises, starburst."

"I will do my best to become as soft and cuddly as possible in order to incentivize you."

"You will be like a soup dumpling."

"...I'm not a biologist but I'm pretty sure fat is not a liquid???"

"You get very oozy when I've got you in my clutches, though."

"Fair point. 'Soup dumpling' just brings to mind me exploding and liquid squirting out of my insides though."

"Well, that could probably also be arranged, though it's not to my usual taste." Bite bite.

"I would prefer to remain intact."

"Maybe one day I will need that information." Bite bite bite.

"So like, do you have any hobbies, besides ravishing me?"

"Oh, I'm a bit of a workaholic, but I do like to be well-read."

"Any favorites?" She's dreading having to share hers and inevitably be judged for it but she's already locked into this line of conversation.

"I like books more as - points on a graph showing all the thoughts people are having. Somebody, somewhere, sometime, thought it would be a laugh to write thus and such a book. It might be more or less fun to look into it but it's not the kind of thing I have favorites about."

"You are one fascinating human being." The detached attitude is a little concerning compatibility-wise but it sure is a unique perspective.

"However, my standard answer for when I don't want to have an extended conversation about it is 'War and Peace'."

"Because you actually like it, or because it gets people to stop asking questions?"

"I like it enough that if I roll the dice and get somebody who actually wants to talk about War and Peace I don't have to shank him to make them stop."

"I, uhh..." She pauses for a moment to think of a book she's read that won't make her look like a total loser. "Have you read The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy?"

"No, but I listened to the original radio version!"

"Oh my god, really? How did you pick it up? Wasn't it only in the UK?"

"Piracy!"

"I'm surprised there even were pirate broadcasts of it in the US back then."

"No, no, I had a recording."

"Oh, I see. Didn't know it was popular in the US before the book came out though."
