It was a suggestion that might have been helpful some five or ten years ago, Damen thought. As it was, he only smiled faintly, and wondered if reading would indeed have aided him in alluding Kastor's plotting and Laurent's machinations. Or if he would have simply fallen into it either way.
'Chinese and Spanish,' Damen echoed fondly. He knew very little about either, was certain he couldn't even say where the languages developed or anything of the lands where they had developed. But he knew of at least two bookstores and he was positive he could ask a number of people for help. He would have a dozen or so books for Laurent in no time at all. 'And would you consider a ride out into the countryside with me,' he continued, turning slightly to prop his arm on the back of the couch then and resting his head on his hand. 'Might not be as exciting as the last time we rode together, but it's been months since I was last on a horse. I've missed it.'
