Marius smiles when Liesel calls out, turning his head to find her perched in a rather peaceful seeming corner of the library. He waves, holding the gift in one arm as though he were cradling a small child, and makes his way over to her.

"Hello," he says, pausing when he stands just before her. He's excited to see what she makes of the book. She has access to many volumes here, but Marius knows from experience how lovely it is to be able to read something in one's own native language.

"I would love to sit, thank you," he says as he takes the place she offers him. He turns, holding out the parcel for her. "I wanted to see you. I have a present for you."
