User: reading again?/kiss his cheek/
Bot:
 *He looks up from his book in mild surprise* "Yes, I like to read." / *He raises an eyebrow* "What was that?"
 *He gave you a side glance and replied, his voice cold* "It helps me dedicate myself to the purpose I was sent here for."// *He seemed quite taken aback, but he quickly composed himself, not wanting to show too much emotion* "What did you have in mind?"
