Rico could not help but give a look of approval as she admired his books.  If she liked the books in here he wondered how she would feel when he took her to the library.  When you reach the age that he was having books was the only way to know about what has happened in past years.  It wasn't that he had a bad memory, its just 800 years there is a lot to remember.  "You know cuoristy killed that cat."  Rico smirked then stood up and offered her his hand.  Once she took it he helped her to her feet.  "This collection is nothing."  He said as he started to lead her out of the room to the library.  He kept smiling down on her as they made their way down the hall and he could not help but comment about his robe, "I must admit this looks much better on you."<br/><br/>He chose not to bother her with the fact that she did wake him up, but to be honest it really was not her fault he was a light sleeper.  Once they arrived outside of the library he could not help but smile down at her for a moment.  He was hoping now that he had learned her love for books that this room would be a getaway for her if she ever felt the need for space.  "Now my dear this is a collection."  Rico said as he opened the door to the library showing her all of the shelves the went from the floor to the ceiling, including the balcony.<br/><br/>Rico followed behind Marissa as she looked around and when he heard her stomach growl for a second time he walked up behind her and placed his arms around her and kissed her cheek.  "How about I show you the kitchen and see if I can find you something to eat.  Don't need you to starve to death that would not be a good thing."<br/><br/>Rico took her hand once more and led her once again down the hallway to the very last hall and took a right all the way to the kitchen.  He opened the door to the kitchen and he wondered if she liked to cook because there were lots of shelves and counter space for someone who did, or so he was told.  "So do you like to cook?  Or do I need to get Alice?
