♞ IX. voice & action.

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.]

[There are piles of books everywhere—sitting on top of the tables and the sofa and the piano and any other visible surface. Since no one else was waiting for books, there's nothing special about the piles anymore. They're just waiting to be picked up.]

We'll start with these.

[He points to the piles of books closest to the door!]

[Oh wow.. That's a lot of books. Yellow just stares around the room at the piles and piles of them. Someone didn't seriously read all that, did they...?]

There's so many of them... But um, okay!

[She picks up a few of the ones near the door.]

[Elliot goes to pick up some of them, too, taking them to the wagon that Yellow rigged up.]

My servant always brought back more books than he returned.

[Into the wagon they go! And then she'll go back and pick up a few more books to put in.]

...Did Leo read all of these?

A lot of them, I think.

[Of course, he couldn't be sure. It felt like Leo had a different book in his hands every day.]

That's sure a lot of reading. [Where does he find the time to read them all? Geez...

She stacks a few more books into the wagon, filling it up.] I think that's all that will fit for this trip..

That's all he ever does. [The amount that Leo read in a day should be considered criminal. Elliot puts the last stack of books that he picked up into the wagon and nods.] That's fine. It's a long walk, so you don't have to come back after this.

[It's the least he can do, asking for all of this help.]

Huh... He must really enjoy reading then. [Like. A lot.

She adjusts the wagon a bit so that it's securely tied to the large bird.] Well I'm riding on Dody, rather than walking, so it doesn't take that long at all, actually.

[If only she had Kitty; then she could fly across the village. With a giant butterfly.]

[Elliot would be so (unsure) if he saw his friend flying across the village...]

Then I'll get more ready for when you come back.

[Nothing to (unsure) about!]

Alright! I bring them to the library, right?

[S-so cute...]

Yeah. If they ask who they belonged to, tell them that person's no longer here.

[...Waaait back up there.]

...Huh? He's not here?

He was sent home.

[He doesn't mince words. Why bother? There was no point.

Elliot doesn't seem different than usual, though. If he's upset, he sure doesn't show it.]

[Whether he's showing it or not, it still is kind of upsetting. Blue went back home recently, too...]

Oh... I'm sorry, Elliot.

It's fine. It's better this way. [That's always what he thought about it, so it shouldn't be any different just because it's his friend.] This room would never be clean if he was still around.

[She laughs at that. Mainly because certain people in her house are incredibly unorganized too...] Why? Does he keep it really messy?

[He nods at that.]

Even his bed is covered in books. He's lucky if he can sleep on the floor.

[And all of this makes Elliot sound like a very bad master, simply because he "allows" this. It really irritated him!]

[...Pffft. Laughing a bit more now.]

He doesn't have a bookcase or anything to keep the books in? [..Then again, looking at the massive amount of books here, she's not sure how efficient that would be either.]

It wouldn't matter. You can't fit enough bookshelves in that room to hold all of these.

I figured as much...

But anyway, I'll go ahead and bring this books over the library now, okay? I'll come back to take some more afterward.

All right. I'll get them ready for you.

[He decides to see her out before he starts dragging more books out of his servant's room.]

Alright, thanks! I'll be back in a bit.

[Aaand hopping onto Dody now.]
