He doesn't have many secrets of his own, but he's happy to share them with her.

He flips through the newspaper, then arches a brow

Brow?

"I think I found something that would interest you" And he shows her a flier in the newspaper of... purple furniture (Yeah, you know which one)

"Ooohhhhh..."

"It's not properly vintaged..." He observes "But it is inspiring"

A slight smile escapes "I seem to vaguely recall someone likes that color"

"A moment, I shall fetch the kitchen scissors."

Oh, this means she wants it for The Scrapbook.

Sure, she HAS a pinterest...

His eyes glitter with delight, "Slice it up, dearest"

Zara returns with the scissors, and carefully cuts out the picture.

He watches her delicate fingers at work. He has slender fingers for a troll, and can wield an artist brush like a maestro waves a baton, but his lady's deft and boney fingers are fun to watch

Like pale little spider's legs, as they take their prize for The Scrapbook

His eyes sparkle "I really should look at your scrapbook again sometime. "

"You could make your own, full of dreams."

"I... have something like that actually" thoughtful "Nothing so self contained mind you"

"Oh?"

"I've a note book where I write down ideas for future paintings that I'm tempted to do, but not feeling the muse. Some of the painting plans could easily influence a scrap book"

"Aye?"

"Nothing as detailed," He assures "Little touches of Iowa I actually DO like, a pattern for tile based on Bronte in flight, a few fashion ideas..."

"We can have some Iowa. In your garret."

"Thank you, also, wicker furniture, in small spaces, collects cobwebs nicely."

"Important."

"I'm sort of assuming with you, it's 'love me, love my spiders'" A smile

"That is not incorrect."

"Oh, I do catch on to life's lessons" He admits

"So, spiders and webs about our dream house. A few touches of Iowa in the garret."

"And a bedroom for thee, and me, so we may decide which to share on any given night..."

"I hope both beds can fit a troll...personal reasons" A wicked look
