[Exploring the hotel together had gone quite well for them before, all things considered— it had become quite apparent that the two of them made an excellent team, and Amelia is someone that Gale would trust implicitly to be of aid should they stumble across something that requires them to act quickly and decisively. Even aside from all of that, he has steadily become quite keenly aware of the fact that he would likely accompany her anywhere she wished to go, which is another matter entirely, but still certainly has a great deal of bearing on his presence here today. He'd eagerly accepted her invitation without a moment's thought.
Here and now, however, together in the elevator, the usually loquacious Gale finds himself at a loss for what to say— largely due to the fact that he's been dedicating a great deal more thought to the present company than is probably prudent, as of late. While they wait, he spends a few painfully long moments trying to look everywhere but at her, his gaze turning towards the ceiling as the music filters in from the speakers above to fill the silence, his hands clasped behind his back.
Eventually, his shifting gaze catches a glimpse of the title of the book in her hands, and he finds himself momentarily startled.
Oh.]
Ah, Duskfall.
[Right. She had asked him for romance recommendations. He clears his throat softly.]
