He took it and clipped it back to his belt, though he hesitated slightly, thinking of offering her to keep it.
There's a few different things in here, an odd assortment of things - not exactly magical relics. Different books in different languages, of different varieties. Some to deal with magic, some not. Some about certain cultures, niche things that not many people might want to be aware of. A puffy chair was in the corner along with an easel to prop up said books, if Stephen wanted to.
There was various devices as well. A laptop, an electronic alarm clock that looked like it could be activated by vocal command. A box with intricate carvings that held the precious watch, that he'd put away. There were a few things that seemed also practical in a medicinal sort of way, and the room had small alcoves, because clearly Stephen retreated her to read or to have some quiet to himself.
He took her wrist, he felt odd about showing anyone this room, it was a bit like opening up one's chest and seeing one's secrets. He was glad to show her, because he trusted her - but he was also slightly nervous about it, if she would compare him to her Stephen and his arrogance and think the same of him.
