Admittedly, England is downright mystified that this girl could be so interested in reading but not read the only sources of information provided to her upon waking. This is probably obvious in the disbelieving way he looks at her after the books are handed over.

"It would have been wise," he returns, and that's definitely the sound of someone who's used to reprimanding small children. "Though they don't tell you everything."

And then, England hesitates noticeably as it sinks in that he's going to have to be the one to tell her the fate of her world. He's been quite the messenger of death lately, between this young lady and Vietnam earlier in the week. His whole image subdues as he turns away from Rapunzel, purposefully busying himself with the various science books on the shelves in front of them. His moment of silence stretches on for a bit before he elects to break it; there's no hint of a reprimand in his tone this time. "You're here because your world has been destroyed. A little boy named Zo saved you."
