They're gone, aren't they? Both of them. I never got them to remember, I never finished anything. You scientists, the chevaliers, God. It's the same with all of you.

How charmingly ironic that you would take them away and leave me instead with books that serve to remind what wretched pawns we are.

Soubi. Come be my Hamlet, won't you?

You got new books? Dunno what you're talking about otherwise, but-

[roseraiebleue]

Yes, I did.

[one_is_hikaru]

...Which ones did you get, then?

[roseraiebleue]

The Complete Works of Shakespeare and Stendhal's Le Rouge et le Noir.

[one_is_hikaru]

I want to borrow the Shakespeare collection, some time you're not using it.

What's the other book about? Is it in French, or just the title?

[roseraiebleue]

As long as you're careful with it and don't take it out of the apartment, I suppose that's all right.

Yes, it's in French. It's a psychological novel whose theme centers largely on the hypocrisy of French society.

[one_is_hikaru]

I want to read it, not destroy it - don't worry.

Is it good? A psychological novel - that's like Genji Monogatari, right?

[roseraiebleue]

It's a great classic, yes. Something like that.

When you're feeling better, we should read it together!

[roseraiebleue]

If you like.

[one_is_hikaru]

O- we got our DS charger, by the way~ You promised to play video games with us, remember? ☆

[roseraiebleue]

That was obviously a promise made in haste, but-- yes, at some point.

Whenever you're ready - it's charged. We'll wait for you.
