Express interest in learning more about Norse mythology...

As the conversation about Norse mythology continues, you find yourself captivated by James and Lynnea's passion for the subject. The dining table becomes a gateway to a realm of gods, heroes, and epic tales. Eager to delve deeper, you express your interest in learning more.

"This is absolutely fascinating," you say, your eyes wide with genuine curiosity. "Do you have any book recommendations or resources where I can learn more about Norse mythology?"

James beams with enthusiasm, reaching for a nearby bookshelf filled with worn volumes. "Ah, you're in for a treat! Let me grab a couple for you."

He hands you a thick tome filled with intricate illustrations and another with a more academic tone. "Start with these. They provide different perspectives, one more scholarly and the other a bit more artistic. It'll give you a well-rounded understanding."

Lynnea leans in, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Just be warned, Dad might quiz you on this next time you come over."

You chuckle, appreciating the friendly banter. "Challenge accepted. I'm up for it."

As you flip through the pages, James begins to elaborate on specific stories, highlighting key figures like Odin, Thor, and Loki. The tales come to life with animated gestures and vivid descriptions. Lynnea interjects with her own insights, adding a personal touch to the narratives.

The evening unfolds into a rich tapestry of knowledge, laughter, and shared enthusiasm. Before you know it, the clock ticks away, and you realize it's time to bid farewell.

"Thank you both for such an incredible evening. I'll definitely dive into these books," you say, genuinely grateful for the newfound knowledge and connection.

Lynnea smirks playfully. "Don't forget about the quiz!"

You laugh, promising to brush up on your Norse mythology before the next gathering. As you leave the kitchen, Lynnea grabs your wrist.

"Hey," she says.

You look at her.

"Wanna see something cool?"
