[ His eyes are on G'raha, curious when he talks about his tomes. It's not surprising, given that G'raha's line of work and all, but something about Aki's demeanor relaxes a little more, matching the more casual tone of the conversation. ]
Sounds like you were born to be a scholar. [ He'll pay attention to the rod if something bites. ] The person I trained under is also an avid reader.

[ He smiles at Aki, chancing a glance over at him while his line doesn't move. ]
