Today's challenge:
Choose two or more characters that you know the history and personalities of. Write a scene in which they find a book and concentrate on having each of them react in character to the discovery.
The book can be any kind of book - a modern gooey romance paperback, an ancient tome of science or magic, a medieval book of hours, a spaceship maintenance manual. That's up to your imagination. Similarly, the circumstances could be anything - they're in a library, they're deep in a cave and find a box with the book in it, they're searching through a drawer in a home, etc.
The important point is to consider the object and the setting, as well as the people, and figure out how they would react and if there's anything in their backstories that would make them react in an unusual way (or try to conceal how they feel).
