"Tell me, how do you know so much about stones?" Alexandro asked.
Lena turned to him and shrugged, she was about to respond when he shoved a tray of cookies towards her.
"Eat something while you talk" he muttered and she nodded with thanks. She picked a piece of the cookie and put it in her mouth.
"I don't know, maybe it is because I read so many books about stones, rocks, and ores so I am quite knowledgeable. You know, back at my home, I have a lot of time doing nothing so I just borrow so many books on the topic and read them. I have always had an interest in stones, most especially jewelry design" she answered with a shrug and ate another piece.
Alexandro nodded, he realized that he almost knew nothing about her life in the past. He did not even know her likes and dislikes but, he planned to learn all of that until everything about her was etched in his mind.
