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.

[madasahero]

[Aw. :(

Touching the books gingerly.]

What are most of them about?

[tearsofademon]

Lots of different topics. But that one mostly has books about these things called 'computers' and how they work.

[madasahero]

[Picking up a book, yay]

Ah yes, I have heard of those! You...well, the other you, is somewhat fascinated by them. They are said to store and provide an incredible amount of information in the most convenient manner.

[tearsofademon]

Aren't they amazing? They're like a thousand books in one, and you can even send letters to people using them, letters that arrive instantly. And they don't even use magic to do what they do, instead using an arrangement of metal and electricity.

[madasahero]

[D'aww, I know that look. :D]

Is that so? I was not aware that one could also use them to send letters as well. Ah, if we had a couple of those I would ask for updated reports far more frequently ~

[tearsofademon]

[they're really cool okay]

They'd come at the same pace as usual.

[madasahero]

[XD]

...And since I would not need Iris to deliver messages anymore, I would have her stay with you. As an incentive.
