"Great! I can't wait." Ryunosuke smiles at him, bright as ever as he sits back in his chair.

So now how to include Manabu in his reading? He takes a deep breath and decides to start with just opening the book and reading the first few lines, finding that Natsume-san's writing was a bit refreshing. Something as eccentric as his personality in true written form as he talks about his arrival in London. About time spent admiring London upon arrival - because how could they not when they first arrived either? - and the newness that awaited him. This particular part was about how he managed to get around and his subsequent visit to the Tower of London.

Ryunosuke finds himself laughing at a passage, pointing at it and reading it out loud, careful not to stumble over each sentence. Something about how he refused to take carriages mostly because he couldn't afford them, but also because he clearly didn't want to become disoriented.

"He certainly has a way with words." He admits, before he shyly glances over to Manabu. He has the book propped open with one hand, whose to say he couldn't just--- Surely he wouldn't mind? He nervously reaches over and takes Manabu's hand.

That's what couples do, right?
