Duma was in the university's library, looking up a new recipe to try as he flips through several cookbooks. The scent of old paper and leather bindings filled his nostrils as sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting warm patterns across the wooden tables.

He hears footsteps behind him and glances over his shoulder at a new coworker who had joined the staff a few weeks ago. The white tiger liked what he saw the first day but only interacted when he needed to, being a bit too nervous to speak up in front of the handsome man. The sound of the other's voice echoed in his memory from their brief workplace interactions.

He found him to be funny and a hard worker, something that Duma really liked in a coworker. After a few minutes of watching, he could tell that his coworker was looking for something but was obviously overwhelmed by the collection that the university offered. Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, Duma walks over and taps him on the shoulder to get his attention, "Hey there! Trying to find anything specific? I could help if ya like."
