"Thrilling," Ben slightly frowned, sort of regretting he'd asked her how she was. But it was the polite thing to do, and he wasn't completely socially inept. Or so he liked to think.

He took a seat across from her and cracked open a book he'd carried with him.

He didn't exactly look happy, nor happy to be chatting with her. Given that he opened a book when he sat down, she decided not to push anything further.

"Well, I'll leave you to your reading then." She said it sort of resigned, like she had interrupted him and was sorry for that. No sense pushing where you weren't wanted.
