When it comes to romance, sir, skimming does not mean anything...

[ but her ears are perked up and, after a bit, she leans forward to take it. phoenix is tall enough he can probably see her bunbun tail quiver a bit. shut up she wants new things ]

[slobjection]

[ cute..... ]

Well, I'm not an expert. But if you're not too busy we can investigate the library, try to find some other books for you.

[cluedin]

[ squints... ]

What kind of books do you prefer reading, sir?

[slobjection]

Hmmm.... science fiction is pretty interesting. Don't you think?

[cluedin]

Do you actually believe so, sir, or are you simply going off my own collection?

[slobjection]

Nah, I'm a real fan. I used to have to read law books, you know... science fiction was a welcome break.

[cluedin]

[ hmmm... ]

... This house does not dwell in science fiction too much. It makes it good entertainment.

[ horror genres!! suck!!! ]

[slobjection]

[ he likes cryptid stuff too... he's a nerd. ]

We know the house has bad taste.

[ yeah he is incredibly disinterested in horror now. ]

Well, shall we?

[cluedin]

[ hmMMMmmmMMMmmm ] Very well, sir.

[ here they go to the libwawy ]

[slobjection]

[ phoenix is slow bc he's injured and wheezy but eventually they get there. ]

Alright... let's begin the investigation. Where should we start?

[cluedin]

[ side eyes ]

Perhaps you should start by sitting down, sir.

[slobjection]

With a book, sure.

[ he doesn't wanna make her fetch it for him...... ]

[cluedin]

[ she stares him down ]

Sit, sir. You're injured.

[ :/ ]

[slobjection]

[ plum: i would never be rude to a guest ]
[ also plum: sit down u dumb fucking bitch ]

I'm taking it easy.

[ but he sits. ]

[cluedin]

You walked down five flights of stairs just now.

[ EYEBROW RAISE!!! but since he's sitting she walks to the books ]

Have you read many of the books here, sir?

[slobjection]

But at my own pace.....

[ he's sitting now gosh. ]

I rifled through a fair bit of them. More skimming than reading, though.... You've probably read a lot of them, right? At least the ones that don't change.

[cluedin]

We get new ones when there are new guests. I read them once the guests are ... gone.

[slobjection]

[ hm ]

Guess our little book club is a change of pace for you then...

When I went through them before, it was mostly for clues. Might be nice just to read a bit for fun with you.

[ as long as it's fiction ]

[cluedin]

[ ? ]

For clues? What clues did you believe you could find in these books?

[slobjection]

That was more in the beginning... when we weren't quite sure what we were doing here. I thought these books might shed some light on the situation.

[ not just him. ]

I didn't get the answers I wanted... but I did find some fun reads.
