"Hm."
He slid the books he'd been considering back onto the shelf to deal with later, and stepped closer to her. He reached toward her, and…
… pulled a clump of glitter from her hair.
He considered it, on the tips of gloved fingers. Then he rubbed them together to send it falling down to the hardwood, as if deliberately sprinkling it there in the process of getting it off of his gloves.
"I have one or two," he said. He looked over her outfit again. "I am willing to accept trades for them, if you do not have cash. I prefer a trade, in fact, if you can think of something worth offering."
He rocked on his heels, settled back onto his cane. "Nonetheless. Even those books may not do you much good, depending on what specific information you seek. Not all theoretical knowledge is so practically useful, n'est-ce pas? Whereas I have, ah… the benefit of experience, let us say. If you have a particular question in mind, stating it directly might better see it answered than looking on your own." He shrugged. "But of course, it is a matter of what makes you comfortable."
Idly, he reached out again, this time holding his hand flat to determine her height. He brought it higher and closer, as if manually measuring the difference between them, the gulf between barely more than five feet and half past six. Then he raised it even higher and off to the side, as if doing the same for an unseen third party, one significantly taller than even he. He considered the height of this invisible giant, and then looked back down at her.
"Huh." He seemed impressed. Then he shrugged again, and dropped his hand back to his cane.
