He smiled, "Nothing as interesting as you, of course" he grinned, "But I've been reading too. History mainly. Your relative has a lot of books, it would probably take me a lifetime to read everything" which didn't bother Nate as much as it should, but then he didn't mind reading. It reminded him of reading with his parents as a child. "Be good to get outside again though" he admitted, he missed the physical activity - other than what he was getting with Lucien.
"Trying to. It's pretty hard though, this snow is keeping the temperatures down" he said as he sat down.
