♞ IX. voice & action.

[holyknights]

I have books I need to get rid of— [...well. That's not right. He corrects himself.] —return. There's too many for me to carry, so I'll need help.

[Elliot, that's not a request, it's a demand. But this is Elliot Nightray—he does not and will never care. Housemates can find Elliot sorting through the books in his servant's room, trying to pile as many into a box as he can. This is going to take a while.

Others can find him hauling this stupid box of books to the library. It's especially cold today, but once again, Elliot does not care. He is getting rid of these books one way or another, dammit. It's only a small start, but he is tired of waiting.]

[Elliot would say he's lucky! At least then, there wouldn't have been the danger of taking out too many books... hopefully.]

My servant took them all out. I like reading, but not as much as that guy.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Servant? Ah well it's one of the more practiced pasttimes in these parts. [ He chuckles though it's short lived as he realizes that whoever it is he's talking about isn't currently there to help take back those books. Perhaps they were taken by the droids? A mission or even...sent home? ]

Do you need some help? I-I could stop by and possibly pick up some, some of the books as well. If, if you don't mind. Otherwise I understand entirely.

[voice]

[holyknights]

[Since Helios doesn't really ask about it, Elliot doesn't bother to elaborate. He knows it's kind of an unusual thing around here, to have a servant who doesn't actually get paid.]

I don't mind. I'll need the help. There's too many for me to carry by myself.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Wonderful! Would be opposed to me stopping by now? Or if later it better, there's not rush after all. [ Whatever the other was comfortable with. He's probably gotten quite a few offers at it is. ]

[voice]

[holyknights]

Whenever you can. I want to get rid of these as soon as possible.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Then I'll stop by now. I'm free at the moment, so um, if you wouldn't mind! I'll help take some of those books off your hands.

[voice]

[holyknights]

I'd appreciate it. I'm in house 53.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Fifty-three. I'll be there is a few moments. [ Just has to draw this sigil and he'll teleport right over!

And true to his word Helios will make it to Elliot's place a few minutes later. There will be a light knock on the front door as he waits patiently outside. ]

[action]

[holyknights]

[...that was really fast! So fast, in fact, that Elliot thinks it might be someone else who offered to help at the door. That's why when he goes to answer, he's a little surprised to see the face that matched the pictures in his journal.]

Uh... They're over here.

[And by "over here," he means "piled up all over the living room." There are literally books everywhere.]

[action]

[folklorist]

[ Teleportation making time inconsequential! Helios nods as he follows Elliot inside taking in his surroundings and then diverting his attention to that rather massive collection of books.

Helios' eyes might just light up a little. Juuust a little though. ] This is quite collection you've got. It's fantastic.

[action]

[holyknights]

There's too many for me to read. I'd never finish by myself.

[He normally wouldn't mind keeping so many books around if... they were actually organized. Or if they belonged to him.]
