[ Zen offers a complying hum in response - outwardly confident, inwardly meek, muffling out the rest of his worries like a reminder as to who he was speaking with. His fingers drummed against his recent purchase, an unconscious distraction and a means to keep a part of him busy, temporarily lured away from his steadily congesting thoughts.

[ Hard cover, wrapped air-tight in plastic - it's plausible! Except not really, and he knew that. They needed something sturdier, reliable in size - and maybe he should cut back on his jokes, abide by her suggestions than to divert.
