[ He nearly asks what does he need him for, but--Etraya's made him cautious in a way that probably doesn't matter right now. But what a question to get, right!!! ]
i'm trying to pick a gift for a guy there's a lot of flowers and chocolates but i don't know if he likes flowers or would want them on a day when that's what you give people
[ Yeah John is not the right person to ask about this. It's been a long time since he had a normal life and had to think about giving gifts. Even though that's what he's about to do. ]
Electricity and base magic. I'm trying to learn more about computing and robotics the way they come up here, but I still want to keep up on my artificer studies.
Oh, I'm coming up to the library now. I'm going to park.
[ Guess who has been vroom vrooming in his van this whole time--that's right, here Gorgug comes in his van!! ]
[ Actually, he's pleased Gorgug has been in his van. That's great for his book of choice. John waits in the main hall of the library, by the circulation desk. He doesn't pull up a chair or lean on the desk, just stands still and waits. There's a book tucked under his arm. ]
And yet he's coming anyway, more because he doesn't want to be rude after John Reese helped him with his questions, and there's always the chance there's a book that stands out. Always that slim possibility where you can never assume anything, except when you want to. That's the way Gorgug thinks.
He's also been thinking about this 'getting a book from the library thing', and for talking to John over the earpiece (or-- well, he has been talking ever since getting in the van, using the voice-to-text to continue their conversation), he wasn't expecting John, but he's an okay surprise to see once he wanders in, dressed as typically as he is: hoodie and jeans.
And he's polite. He wipes his feet on the door mat before he comes in farther, giving John Reese a pull of his mouth that's positive, if not too much of a smile (but also not not one. he's matching the low key vibes of the man!). He does see the book he holds, but he doesn't know what to think, glancing from it to the man's face. ]
Hey. If I find a book, I should, like, order it from Aurora, right?
[ He figures already, it wouldn't be right to gift someone a book from somebody's (two somebody's!) library, but John Reese is right here, and so Gorgug feels the need to say something. ]

You don't have to be perfect at them all, but you have to show you understand them, and then you can pick what you want to focus on.
