[Rika herself decided to go to the library that day, so when she notices someone else in there reading a book, she can't help but be curious.]

Mii... what sort of book are you reading?

[ceruleanvices]

[A glance up, and he shows her the cover of the book.]

Dinotopia. Story 'bout a man and his son shipwrecked in a land where people, dinosaurs, and other ancient beasts live in relative harmony.

[regainedhope]

That sounds like a very interesting book.

[ceruleanvices]

It is. Started out as just a bunch of illustrations - the story came afterward. I was gonna read Jurassic Park, but I don't think we've lost our minds that much just yet. And I haven't seen any velociraptors or tyrannosaurs yet.

[An idle flick when the dinosaur nips at his ear again.]

[Although she doesn't read (not with her visor in the way, anyway), Rider still enjoys coming to the library. The smell of the old books and the quietness is quite soothing to her. Most people would rather be out and about with their friends than come to a place like this...

Which is why it's so odd to find Ban sitting there reading. Pausing in the isle by where his table is, Rider tries to figure out if she should reveal herself or simply walk away.]

[No need; the Epidexipteryx notices her first, and gives a warning squawk...right into Ban's ear. Twitching, he flicks the dinosaur's snout, then glances over. He smiles when he sees Rider standing in the aisle, and then turns back to his book, though not without a few words to his shoulder buddy.]

This's your only warning; you snap at or bite her, and I'm kicking you off my shoulder for good.

[Well crap, so much for just leaving. Still, Rider's just going to stand there for now until he either calls her over or comes to her.]

[ceruleanvices]

...there's plenty of room if you'd like to come over and sit down.

[He swings his legs back down to the ground, startling the tiny dinosaur.]
