♞ 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.]

[Jack being quiet means he will no longer say stupid things, at least for now, and Elliot is okay with this. So he continues.]

I've asked other people for help, so we don't have to carry all of them by ourselves.

[And Jack's head pokes out from behind that stack of books he is currently trying to heft into his arms.]

Oh? Who else is coming?

[Action]

[holyknights]

Some people I spoke to over the journals. [He decides to add the names of those he knows a little better.] Ayumu, Madoka, and Yellow offered to help.

[Action]

[of_sablier]

Ah, Yellow! I'm not surprised she offered to help; she's a very sweet girl.

[... whoops he totally didn't just send the entire stack crashing over.]

[Action]

[holyknights]

Yeah. She's really nice. [Elliot would leave it at that if it weren't for Jack nearly causing a disaster over there. :| Elliot isn't impressed.] And watch where you're going!

[Action]

[of_sablier]

I am watching where I'm go--

[Whoops was he saying something? All of the books are now on the floor.]

... ing. It's not my fault they wouldn't stay balanced!

[Action]

[holyknights]

If you're going to do this, do it right! There's no point in helping if you're just going to make a bigger mess!

[Jack do you need an adult]

[Action]

[of_sablier]

[... he might.]

Should I stop helping, then?

[Action]

[holyknights]

Of course not! Just stop messing up!

[Because somewhere deep down, Elliot actually is grateful for Jack's help.]

[Action]

[of_sablier]

[And as if on cue, there go the last few books in that stack. Whoops.]

[Action]

[holyknights]

I said stop playing around!

[HOW DOES ANYONE MESS UP THAT MUCH]

[Action]

[of_sablier]

I wasn't doing it on purpose...

[Action]

[holyknights]

Are you really just that clumsy, then?!

[Action]

[of_sablier]

...

[That's totally a 'yes.']
