Greetings,

This is Amelia Steinbeck, a guest at the Hotel Caelum, and resident of Room 700.

It appears that books are a universal constant and so I am bestowing an open invitation to other guests who are interested in discussing fiction and nonfiction so that we can bridge cultural gaps and gain further understanding of other cultures and customs through the medium of literature.

Here is a sample of what we'll be reading to discuss as a group. I am open to other suggestions and the structure will be loose; you need not read these if you have a book you'd like to read silently during and after discussions.

Book Title	Author	Genre
Pride and Predjudice	Jane Austen	Romance
Emma	Jane Austen	Romance, Comedy, Historical
Andersen Fairy Tales (Various)	Hans Christian Andersen	Fairy Tales

A time and date will be settled on and pinned so please keep an eye out for notifications. More details to follow. Thank you.

If you don't mind me asking, what were you occupied with when you were in your world?

[reinherits]

For a few years, I helped to oversee matters in my hometown. I spent most of my hours on the streets or out in the open.

As of recent months, I have been traveling, so I am on the road more often than not.

[recluserose]

Were you travelling alone? It sounds like being on the move would be tiring if that was the case.

[reinherits]

No, I've gathered traveling companions since setting off, and they have become dear friends to me.

[sorry to amelia for hitting hikari's favourite topic aka FRIENDSHIP]

[recluserose]

Friends are good. I don't suppose any of them are here on vacation with you though...

[Cause she hasn't met anyone else that has backgrounds that match up with Hikari's.]

[reinherits]

It would be rather poor luck if I somehow failed to cross paths with them all this time, especially when a few of them are difficult to miss. So as far as I know, they are not.

Though if anyone ever mentions hailing from Solistia to you, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.

[The name of what she's presuming is a country does catch her interest. Amelia had cautiously assumed that Hikari hailed from Japan or some variation of it but there's definitely a lot more to his story than expected.]

I'll keep that name written down. I my ask you more about where you're from in the future since I'm interested in other worlds and cultures.

[reinherits]

I don't know how good I am at explaining things, but I am happy to try whenever you wish to know.
