♞ 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.]

[...yes. It does. And it's very sad. :|]

Only take what you can carry. I'll handle the rest.

[Rude :|]

Don't worry, I can handle this! [He can't handle this.

Which way is the door again?]

[It's the area not surrounded by books! But Elliot really does wonder if he'll actually make it to the library or not. It's a long walk.

...he'd probably feel bad if he dropped them and had to pick them up all by himself.

Yeaaaah.]

Hold on. I'm coming with you.

[He starts packing some books into another box.]

[The fact that's really helpful speaks volumes for how many books there are!

But yes, Aoba is weak.]

O-okay! [Just. Standing around waiting for Elli-tan hurryuphurryup this is haaaard.]

[That's what she said—

Elliot doesn't stack as many books into this box, but it's good enough for now. While he picks it up, he nods toward the door.]

Go ahead. I'll be right there.

[ w o w ]

Alright then! [And off he goes! Just you wait, while he's not that fast, he's still going to blaze right off to the library! Definitely!]

[Without spilling any books?! Elliot follows after him a moment later, making sure to shut the door behind him (even though anyone randomly showing up to steal the books would actually be doing him a favor). He doesn't make much of an effort to catch up to Aoba, though. He just follows him.]

[-- Well now that you mention it!

He does indeed drop a few as he tries to run to the library. Naturally, this is completely mortifying, and he's glad Elli-tan is as far behind as he is!]

I, I'll pick that up in a sec!

[Elliot may be far behind, but he can still see him! And he frowns at him having dropped a few books.]

Hurry up.

[Or he will walk past you and leave you behind!]

U, um... right, don't wait for me!

[And he'll drop the box and scoop up what he can! ... He's still fairly unathletic, so Elliot manages to get ahead of him in this time. Wait up!!]

[While Elliot is easily angered, he isn't cruel, so when Aoba hasn't caught up to him in a few minutes, Elliot slows down and even stops to turn and check on him.]

Give me some of those.

[He's touched, really! Of course, just handing them over sounds like it would make him seem weak...] I-! [But he doesn't have any hope of getting them to the library like this...

He'll move a small pile from his box over to Elliot's then!] Ah, I'm sorry for making this difficult...!

You're not. [Elliot sounds a little annoyed at him suggesting such a thing, though! He'll reach for some more books while Aoba does that.] Just quit acting all tough.

Ah... sorry about that. [Would Elliot prefer it if he was humble...] I'll just try to make myself useful!

[YES]

It's fine. Just don't take on more than you can handle.

[It feels like Elliot is reprimanding all the children today...!]

[WELL FINE, GOSH.]

Mm! [Nodding...!! And now that he has a more manageable load, he'll get back to heading for library.

Such a good boy.]
