"You don't have to copy simply because it's my hobby and I know you love cooking, but reading is infinitely interesting. There's a plethora of information and knowledge available within your fingertips." Loriel agreed with Elise in the end.
"I do love baking and cooking, but sitting down with a good book is great too," Elise said. "I tend to read articles online when work isn't too much at the company during my breaks."
"Well, if you want a book, one can actually even buy the digital copies here."
"But a real book is still better than an online version," Elise told Loriel with a small smile. "I love holding a hard copy of a book in my hands... plus the book smell, too. That's irreplaceable."
"Now that you mentioned that, do you prefer the smell of new books or old ones?"
"Both, actually," Elise said. Her time as Madeline York mostly allowed her to enjoy the books she had in her old home. "Although, there's something unique with old book smells."
