[...You know, that's a really difficult question to answer, actually, considering his exact pull point. (Seeing as the last thing that happened before finding himself in a swamp was encountering a goddess and fainting from blood loss.) So it'll take him a moment to figure out how to answer that.]

...Well, we're not dead yet. That's something, right?

[madasahero]

[Your life, Ryner Lute. '-'

It's a good thing I don't even remember the Nelpha massacre, though.]

...Ah, that is certainly something.

[But my dilemma gives me mixed feelings. :(]

[tearsofademon]

[Amnesia doesn't mean it isn't pretty much your fault. :|]

Seriously, we can take care of ourselves.

You, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about.

[madasahero]

[ :'( ]

Nonsense. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.

[I've not been target by Aather's darkness and sent to the book at all.]

[tearsofademon]

Oh really now? Because if you're anything like the Sion I know, someone has to physically drag you away from your work and force you to eat and sleep and other important things like that.

[madasahero]

[:'D]

Hm, how intriguing. I've never needed to be physically dragged away from work in my entire life.

[That's a perfectly believable lie: Y/N?]

[tearsofademon]

[very n :|]

Sure you haven't.

[madasahero]

Ahhh, perhaps you are the one who needs further motivation. Are you dodging your duties to your most perfect king again? Maybe I should borrow you for a few hours ~

[tearsofademon]

No way!

[madasahero]

Ah, I knew you would offer your services immediately. Now, now, you will certainly have to show me this place. I'm particularly interested in those biting books my Ryner told me about.

[tearsofademon]

Has losing your memory also caused you to go deaf, I wonder...?

[madasahero]

[Just selective hearing. :Db]

Now, let's go. There is no time to lose!

[Grabbing your sleeve and dragging you towards...whatever library-looking building he can spot from here. XD]

[tearsofademon]

H-Hey! I didn't agree to any of this!

[but he's fairly easy to drag, anyway?]

[madasahero]

Even better ~

[Dragging, dragging ~ ]

[tearsofademon]

[Really, really hoping that your Ryner runs into my Sion and he gives him a huge hassle for this >_<]

[madasahero]

[:D It's not a hassle. It's called friendship. ]

Ohhh, I believe we found your library.

[tearsofademon]

Yeah, this is the place. Careful - as I've mentioned, some of them bite. Pretty sure the ones that do it change from day to day, too.

[madasahero]

Interesting. Have you identified any pattern in those changes?

[tearsofademon]

Nope, it's completely random.

[madasahero]

[Giving the book shelves a longing look]

We have a library in Aather, but it has only a few books.

[tearsofademon]

Only a few? Seriously?

[madasahero]

[Exaggerated sigh]

No more than eighty, though I have kindly asked the residents to write more.

[tearsofademon]

That few?

[He went through that many in two weeks back during those two years in prison!]

Now that's just cruel.

[madasahero]

[Inorite. :/]

It's terrible and inhumane, though I have heard many good stories since I arrived, especially from children.

[tearsofademon]

Well that's good at least...

[After a moment or two of thinking, he motions toward one of the shelves.]

...Over there was pretty tame when I checked it this morning.
