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.]

[action]
It might be a bird's idea of fun, you gotta use your imaginashun!! What do you think a bird would like doing?!
[action]
[This box is starting to feel a bit heavy, though, so Elliot starts walking again.]
[action]
Birds might like doing other stuff too. Birds might like going on vacation or carrying lots of books on flowers!
[action]
Are you calling me a bird?
[action]
[Swerving left and right with her arms flailing all over the place. She is the best bird ever right now.]
Whoosh! Yotsuba is flapping above the clouds!
[action]
I don't want to be a bird. You be a bird.
[action]
If you don't want to be a bird then you can be... An elefant. You can flap your ears. And you have a big nose!
[action]
[action]
[action]
Well, I don't want to pick up anything with my nose!
[action]
Eventually Yotsuba goes cross-eyed whilst try to keep an eye on her mouth, though she ends up shaking her head and rubbing her eyes with her hands.] Yotsuba can't do it.
[action]
Can't do what?
[action]
[action]
...
Yotsuba, why do you do this.]
Th-that's not what I meant when I said that!
[action]
[It's cool, she understands now! Kind of, sort of, not at all, are you having fun Elliot because she is.]
[action]
It means that you should be careful with what you say. [Not that Elliot knows much about what you should or shouldn't say.] ...but no, you don't have to do anything.
[action]
[action]
...
...
He pauses, reaching into the box and taking out a couple of books. There aren't too many—just enough that he can hold in one hand. He offers them to Yotsuba.] Here. Take these.
[action]
What are we doing now, a game? It's a game isn't it?
[action]
No. You're going to help me take these back to the library. That way, you aren't doing nothing anymore.
[action]
[...
Slowly taking one of the books.
And placing it on her head.
As they walk.
...]
Yotsuba can balance things.
[action]
Yotsuba better not drop it.
[action]
[Though she's 'cheating' a little and using her hand to keep the book steady now and then.]
You should try it too!
[action]
[action]
[Whoops. the book on her head fell off. Better pick it up-- Oh, dropped another whilst trying to pick that one up. Better pick both of those up... Okay, she's fine now. That didn't happen.]
