"Ahem! You may enter."
Akeso fixed his posture and sat back down, prompting Berkah to twist the doorknob and enter the room.
Inside he found multiple shelves filled with beakers, volumetric flasks and other scientific apparatus that reminded him of his old world.
[It's almost like a modern day lab.]
The apparatus was neatly arranged and labeled, some contained liquids of different colors and so on.
"Are you surprised? Most people are when they first see my working space."
Akeso smiled and adjusted his glasses.
"Yeah, it's impressive, I've never seen anything quite like it."
Berkah lied through his teeth and continued glancing around the room's interior, his eyes lingering on the labels.
"Please, take a seat."
[I suppose he wants to talk about my books? How fun, I don't have anyone to talk to about my research.]
