[Erwin has noticed the tall, handsome woman before; they clearly live in the same neighborhood, possibly even next door, but haven't been formally introduced yet. It has never felt like the right time, with everything else going on. But he's seen her, more than once, and when he runs into her in the library, it feels like serendipity.]
[Erwin loves this library. He is completely fascinated by it, and would spend all day here if he could. There's such an accumulated wealth of knowledge, and so many things he's never heard about before. He knows that he should be at least a little intimidated by how much catching up he has to do, but he's dived right in, devouring everything from atlases to encyclopedias to fiction with equal enthusiasm.]
[He approaches Diana from the side, not trying to conceal his footsteps or sneak up on her in any way. He's dressed in the clothing from his closet, and carrying a canvas tote bag stuffed with books. As soon as he found out about library cards, he signed up for one.]
Are you able to read that?
[He gestures up at the stained glass with his chin.]
I can pick out a few words, but not enough to translate it.
