Well then, that was less insulting. Cara settled back down with a hum, wondering if he thought about how his words could come across to others. He was a smart boy.
"There's definitely more than one way to take that, but I'll accept it. We can't all sling fireballs around."

He tilted his head.
"More than one way to take a fact? I think you may have misunderstood, I mean no insult when I say you lack the spark. Just as you put it... Are unable to sling fireballs."

"Good to know." She shifted slightly, but the words had a wry sense of humor as her eyes narrowed, comparing his still matter of fact attitude of his own words. "For a moment I was certain you were calling me boring." Boy hadn't even known her for five minutes.
she was satisfied enough for now.

She scoffed, the sound turning into a laugh.
"Well I don't think so. Someone else's idea of boring might be a different thing." Just like she might consider boring different from what he did.

He closed his book and turned his full attention to her.
"What do you think makes you interesting? If I may be so bold."

"Cheeky, aren't you?" His question made her pause for a half a second, a light smirk on her lips.
"A sense of adventure, for one. Every day brings something new, and I'm not big on sitting back and letting life happen. Or fussing and wailing over the bad things that happen. The world's a wreck and healing a bit, but if I didn't have a sense of humor, I wouldn't have friends, just a community. I'd still be caring my life out in the dirt, trying to make a living instead of supplying others with what they need." She rested her chin on her hand.
"And what about you, Preston Salabim? What do you do that means you don't consider yourself boring?"

"Mhm."
He'd say as she listed off her qualities. Interesting, but it remained to be seen if they were true or not. He'd drum his fingers on his grimoire before answering her question.
"Who said I'm not boring?"
He said with a dry grin, reaching up to push his glasses back up.

She smirked a little at his response, lifting a finger to point at him while her hand was still well within her own personal space.
"That right there. That little grin tells me you think you're not."

He chuckled.
"Perhaps I don't. But to list my positive qualities would be unbecoming. I would not wish to be a braggart."

Like she had. Cheeky bastard, indeed. Cara sat back with a small hum, placing her palms against the edge of the table as she looked at him.
"Is it, though? I'm asking only what you think would interest others. Neither of us are admitting to our bad traits. Think of it as a..." She tried to fidn the words, but let's face it, Cara's not that smart.
"Self-exam."

"Clever attempt to use my obvious studiousness and probably competitive nature, framing it as an exam. I'm afraid however that you'll just have to get to know me the long way. Form your own opinion, uncolored by my own."

"Can't blame a girl for tryin'," she admitted with a chuckle, the dropped G at the end more pronounced with teh sound. She could appreciate a competitive nature, and he was entertaining if nothing else.
"Alright then, let's start something simple: what do you like doing when you're not studying about sheilds?"

"Would you believe me if I said studying other things?"
