His eyes drifted to Selena who was still holding onto his hand.... She was a bit relieved that she was not in the darkness anymore. Klautz caressed her hand, rubbing her palms with his thumb. Her hands were thin and had a feminine taste to them.

But, Klautz himself was never interested in these books as he knew that they were useless for him.
