She tried really hard not to, but she couldn't help humming Far Over the Misty Mountains very, very quietly...
She let up pretty quickly when Ella spoke though, because she'd done that thing again where she forgot that other people existed... She looked up from her book and kept her place with her thumb. Was she a fan? WAS SHE A FAN? She nodded enthusiastically and grinned. "The biggest." she said. "You like Tolkien?"
The quiet humming? Ella noticed and she glanced up at the girl, smiling a little bit. It was nice seeing people so into what they were reading. The blonde got like that herself sometimes so she completely understood.
And then enthusiastic nodding? It made Ella smile broadly at the girl.
"That's cool." Really, it was. As for Ella, she nodded too.
"Yeah, I do. My Dad is a big fan. He read the Hobbit to me when I was small and we both take turns reading it to my little brother now." Kind of a tradition.
"We do that with a lot of books, actually. We're big readers." Though Caleb, Ella's little brother, much preferred comic books these days.
