Marius doesn't even try to hide his smile as he watches Liesel unwrap the gift with such relish, pleased that she seems so curious by the package. He hopes, as she tears the paper apart, that she likes the gift in the same way he felt upon coming across the volume in the store.
The sound of her voice and the look in her eyes tells him that she seems very delighted with the gift indeed, and that makes Marius' heart soar. He might be lacking for happiness himself these days, but to be able to provide it to others lifts him up in ways that have been hard to reach as of late.
"Yes, it really is for you," he tells her, unable to keep the grin from his face. "I hope you like it."
"Your welcome," he tells her in her own language, happy that she seems pleased with the book. He worried for a moment that she might feel herself too old for fairy tales, but then he remembered that these were the stories of the Brothers Grimm, and that some of these tales got quite dark, indeed.
"That sounds lovely," he tells her when she explains the book she's working on herself. "I'm sure your friend will very much enjoy it."
