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?"
 "Yes, I'm reading again" *He answered without looking up, not particularly thrilled or displeased with the question* / *He stiffened a bit, then shifted away, not looking at you*
