Horvath rarely has a pressing schedule, so she can likely talk him into one thing or another until very late, and maybe before the evening is out her excitement will settle until she can curl up against him, calm and cuddly. His home is designed for comfort, with sofas big enough for even his long frame to stretch out and nap, as well as plush chairs, and settling into one for storytelling is more his speed of things.

Smoke stills briefly, even her tail, then makes another run for Mara's foot, and this time after the tap she hides much closer, just under the table to watch. Horvath may take things a little slower, but Smoke has an energy level to better match Mara's.

"If... you're sure. I don't want to bore you." He's watching Smoke, amused, and nibbles a little more at what's on his plate. "I fear I'm too slow for you. You danced circles around me from the beginning... but you're allowed to explore, here, you know. I don't keep anything dangerous out, because of the cats." The vaults are off limits, but she'd never be able to get past the wards anyways. Everything else he has in his library he trusts her with, although saying none of it is dangerous is probably not strictly true. There are books on dark magic, just for research purposes, that could be used for ill by somebody who had a mind to.
