[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.

[tearsofademon]

Just what I need. Two people to beat me up on a regular basis without any break.

[madasahero]

Ah, I always have your best interests at heart.

[tearsofademon]

[He'd say something sarcastic here like "I'm sure you do, the way you constantly work me to the point of killing me" or something, but because of certain conversations with his own Sion...]

It'd be nice if you'd pay more attention to your own best interests sometimes, y'know.

[madasahero]

[For a second, you get the surprised glance of a liar who lost his footing. What do you know? But soon the smile is right back.]

...Hm, I shall meditate upon that.

[tearsofademon]

I'm serious, Sion.

[madasahero]

[But. :(]

That might need to wait a little longer.

[It's not like I have been imprisoned in the book or anything.]
