notices her struggling and goes to her side to help her, reaching up and grabbing the book.

tiptoeing again, and then someone took her book! "Ah, excuse me!", she said, a little more snippy than she intended. "I believe I was --

- here first, and that was the book I was trying to get."

offers her the book and smiles. "I noticed. You were having trouble so i got it down for you."

actually expected him to take te book for himself, so she's surprised. "Ah, then I apologize. Didn't think you'd come to my aid."

shakes his head. "It's no problem."

nods and laughs a little, taking the book. "I see, but it was still rude from me to assume such things."

waves a hand. "It's fine, but I suppose you owe me a favor now."

sighs, raising her eyebrow delicately. "What kind of favor, may I ask?"

shrugs. "Any sort. I did you a favor, after all."

nods. "I would still like what kind--" And she realizes something. "I don't even know your name! I'm Catherine, and you?"

replies, "Marco. My name is Marco. It's nice to meet you, Catherine."

relaxes a little at that, feeling at ease. "Marco... it's a good name. Sounds kinda cute."

rubs his cheek. "I like it better than my other name." He replies simply, "Catherine is nice too."

laughs softly. "Well, thank you. But I don't think this is the best place to hold a conversation, huh?"
