[ She takes his hand, her grip just shy of firm. ] It's nice to meet you too.
[ She turns again, back to scanning the stacks, casting a small charm to help her find what she needs. She starts walking slowly, her finger brushing the spines. ]
Are you from here?
[ Her own accent marks her as a northerner, but she can't quite place his. ]
[ Jeff follows, watching her curiously. That quick spell she casts seems a bit out of place here, like a little beacon of light magic... ]
Huh?
[ OH. She asked a question. ]
Oh. No. I'm a West Coast transplant. [ Which might make a few things click together now that he's admitted it. Like, say, the reason why he may give off "aging surfer" vibes. ] Judging by your own lack of a drawl, I'm guessing you're no more a local than I am.

I'm from Salem.
[ And she hurries to tack on: ]
But I think I'm more at home in Savannah than I ever was there! My brother moved here a few months ago, and I decided to join him.
[ She grins at him, over her shoulder. ] I'm not really a big fan of snow.
