Another smile and a nod, “I could tell, and it’s to be expected. You are not the first Lost to not have a difficult time opening up, and you won’t be the last. It’s common, and it’s ok. Take your time, and open up when and if you are ready, and to who you deem trustworthy of it.” Clearly not offended by it. “Maybe, that’s something only you can decide. A good way to tell could be to volunteer some of your time to a shelter maybe? It would give you something to focus on, and get you out there in the community in a safe way. Personally, I volunteer at a local women’s shelter, it allows me to give back without much fanfare.” Below the radar. Laughing, “Only if you did something that deserved such a beating. She doesn’t issue such beatings for minor things I assure you; she has a lot of compassion.” And wasn’t the type to fight of a minor slight.
“Hmm, well, as soon as I pick it up and finish reading it, I’ll let you know and maybe we can discuss it?” of course, if he wanted to. On Hamlet, “Perhaps, it’s been a few years since I’ve seen a play and read it, but I was fascinated by the moral lesson on the sheer destructive nature of revenge is.

Perhaps the mirror it makes them look into is too much." it applied to a lot of people.
“Oh!” laughing, “My bad, I’m sorry, I’ve been talking you ear off.” Standing, she goes behind the counter and opens a door before coming out with a few keys. A translucent hand holds it out to him, “Here you go. There are stairs down a hallway down there,” pointing towards the back, “the door has a lock on it, and there is a back door if you didn’t wish to enter through the coffee shop, and that also has a lock that your keys open. I have spares, so if you misplace one, just let me know. If you need anything, coffee, tea, of company, you are welcome to hangout in the coffee shop, or not. You won’t find me bothering you. Unless you have some loud parties and the cops get called, then we might need to talk about that.” Obviously joking, a smile on her face. “Otherwise then that, you have my number if there are any problems at all, just give me a call, or text if you prefer, I’m always available if you need something.”
