To be fair to him, the Watcher Diaries do have that he has the face of an Angel. Even if you're not into men, it's sure to have a little sway about how you take his charm. Though it is true his wardrobe could do with a bit of an upgrade in color. Though the black helps with the blending into shadows, not that he'd actually come out and say that.

He wasn't above the judging, to be honest. Too many people didn't see the real power and magic in the world. Which lead to them creating sad groups where all they did was talk to each other. No power, no spells, no real magic. But also no understanding of magic either. It was sad in a lot of ways. Because people did have the potential if they tried and practiced and believed. "Nonne omnes medici magi Latine sciunt?" [ Shouldn't all magic practitioners known Latin? ] He can't help himself, and the amusement that lifts his lips is true as his head dips. "I find some of the older spells can be the best, or the best stepping stones so you can tweak them for what you need."

Tilting his head at that though, he chuckles. "Especially because they'd likely not know how to turn that someone back from the toad or know how to put the fire out." Which would be bad, if not at least amusing.

"I'm an over achiever when it comes to things like that," he offers as a way to explanation for his knowledge of Latin. And he'll nod a little at her comment about the advanced books, because he was curious on what books they carried as a whole. What knowledge someone might have as part of the gang. He'd watched well enough to know how powerful Willow had become. Though having the dark magic locked away wouldn't surprise him either.

"Spiritual and telepathic tend to be my specialty. Though I have to say I haven't tried shape shifting as yet." His head tilts curiously, and he inches just a little so he can lean forward like it might be a secret that he's asking. Though his lips say he's teasing just a little, or at least the tease is more how secret it has to be in a shop where the two of them are alone. "What are you interested in?" Because he has an idea from watching her, but he'd like to hear it from her.

A soft hum leaves him as he takes that in. "I'm not as fluent in Babylonian or Sumerian, but if you have some to suggest I'd be happy to look into them." Is it an act or real, his interest in her. Well, he's always been interested in magic, so honestly, that part is a legitimate curiosity for him. Though he would be curious to see if there were more ways to draw her gently out of her shell, to aid her in magic and her learning. Teaching her will help to sink his fangs into her a little harder and more securely too.

He doesn't mean for the lean in to be uncomfortable for her, because this is a slow game for him. He has time, if he's careful, which means he doesn't want or need to push too hard with her. So when he sees even a flicker of her being uncomfortable, he'll lean back a little to give her some breathing room. And there's even an apologetic smile to her for overstepping a little, sheepish in an attempt to show he hadn't meant anything by it.

That maybe he was just over enthusiastic to talk to her about this too. Because even with as large of a magic community as there was, it was hard to find people to really discuss it with. So when you found one, well you had to hold onto them right? That's the energy he offers at least, that he was just happy to talk to someone about magic, to find that she wasn't just a shop pretending to know how and what to do to sell things.

"I'll definitely note that for shape shifting." His head tilts curiously after a moment though, "Sounds like that one you may know from experience." Because to be that specific about not trying it until you know how to spell yourself back, well, it means there's potentially a story there right?

Some men might use what she's interested in as a come on, but he really did mean magic wise. Because well, how else do you ask that question without it sounding intimate or like he was meaning something else? Some things just lend themselves to being a double entendre even by accident. Not that he wouldn't have used it if she were interested, but he also knows when to move back a little and give her space. "There's something to nature spells, feeling the earth and talking to it." Yes, it sounds like he's done some before, but well short of spells that need direct sunlight, he's dabbled in most just because he has the time and can. Though aura reading was interesting too, and he was curious to see if he could skirt that.

His head dips a little and he smiles. "Anything in magic is adventurous, because you're opening yourself up to the universe."
