"Will you now..." she muttered under her breath no sooner than he finished speaking. True, she wanted to be well and move around on her own. Walk around the island and try to find something to job her memory. And yet it was very difficult to think of not going without someone. A servant girl or Arjun himself should he be able. Mainly just in case who ever tried to kill her was still around, but also because she liked him. Not quite romantically, but enough to say that the fact he remained with her and came to see her gave her thoughts a nice fluttering feeling in her chest when she did see him.
"I'm glad. Your week must have gone by very quickly. You seemed to always be busy when I asked the girls about you. I-...hope I am not prying by asking others. It-....felt like a habit..." Sophiana's eyes seemed to think on her words, and there seemed some familiarity in them. A truth she felt but could not understand why it was so familiar. Like a shadowed ghost in a dark room. Only fleeting.
She set the books beside her on the bed, one hand remaining atop them as if should she let them go he'd take them away and she would have to wait another week for him to return with something else. A pause once he sat and finished speaking before she adjusted in her position to better see and face him. "N-no, these will be fine. I want to read these ones. And if they are too much I will rest and try again. I can read...I read the titles easily, but there is a thrill in knowing that as a babe I must have read something. My first book. And I relive that experience. With books you chose for me. I'm very thankful to my lord."
Her free hand not resting on the books crossed to settle over her heart and she gave Arjun a bright smile to show her appreciation. "I will have to repay you somehow for all your kindness. You've done much for me, Arjun....and the king, of course. He is a very patient man to allow a stranger to remain here like this for so long with such a precarious situation as mine." her smile turned into a playful grin while she leaned in a little as if to tell him a secret, "And no doubt he has guards at the door to be sure I am no thief or assassin."
Sitting up with a soft giggle, her back rested into the pillows once more. "No no....I woke from a nap not an hour ago. I have to remain awake and take my walk soon. Would you join me? Just-....up and down the hall twice."
