*in the library, two men-- that is, one snazzily-dressed man and his tiny companion-- are busily making full use of the available book selection. The following conversation can be overheard as the tiny redhead comes up to the reading table with a small stack of books.*

Hey, how about these? And these?

...It might be advisable to keep to just two

*I am looking at . . . maps!*

My, that's a lot, isn't it?

[lets669ing]

While I have complete faith in his reading capabilities, I doubt he can cover that lot in one day.

[harmonic_tremor]

I suppose if he takes them out, he won't need to cover them all in a day.

[lets669ing]

Are they available for taking out, then? ...Well, I suppose they aren't quite as valuable a commodity in this era.

[harmonic_tremor]

I had been operating under that assumption, but I could be incorrect. . . . Ah, 'this era'?

[lets669ing]

In an age where paper has been completely replaced by other media, an intact book is quite the rare item.

[harmonic_tremor]

I see . . . they're rather plentiful where I'm from.

[lets669ing]

It would be wise not to take them for granted, then.

Ah, pardon me. Gaignun Kukai, if you will.

[harmonic_tremor]

I try not to take anything for granted.

My name is Sasarai. It's nice to meet you, Gaignun.

[lets669ing]

It's a good outlook to have.

Do you come here often, Sasarai?

[harmonic_tremor]

It is, rather.

When I feel like it. It's a good way to pass the time.

*glancing at the spread of things on your table*

Is geography of interest to you? If you don't mind the inquiry.

[harmonic_tremor]

Oh, I don't mind at all. It's not so much geography itself that interests me, but the geography of this world- it's quite different from the world I'm from.

[lets669ing]

So Earth isn't your point of origin either, then?

[harmonic_tremor]

It isn't, no. My world is a completely different one from this- geography-wise, in any case. Culture-wise, it's a bit like Earth in its middle ages.

[lets669ing]

I see. Then your arrival here must have been accompanied by quite the dose of culture shock.
