Hey I got a little problem I could use some help with. There's this nice, little, teenage girl who's never read a book before, so I told her I'd get her one as a surprise gift. But uh, I'm drawin' up a blank. What kinda books do girls even read nowadays?

Something with starcrossed lovers. It's always a hit with the fifteen-to-nineteen demographic.

[Said with a dose of helpfulness and really, honestly, just a little dash of bitterness.]

[crisis_rain]

It'd hit my age group as well if it involved a beautiful lady like yerself!

[slaying]

In that case? I hope you like horror stories.

[crisis_rain]

I might not have nerves of steel like Judith, but I do love a good ghost story!

[able_wildflower]

Let's see...something sweet, with a prince in it. Or a knight. I like those kinds of stories.

[crisis_rain]

Oh it's my lucky day! A pretty lady givin' me advice~

A handsome Prince story might work well, but she might get the wrong message...

wrong icon D:

[able_wildflower]

Aren't you kind of old to be saying things like that? Thanks, though. I guess.

I don't know many other kinds of stories, but how would she get the wrong message? Most stories where I come from are about princesses and thieves or knights.

[crisis_rain]

Hey the older a man the more experienced he is.

It'd seem a little weird me givin' a book about a romantic story to a girl young enough to be my own daughter wouldn't it? Or would it... Honestly I've got no idea, I've never given a kid a book before.

Hey, um, Raven? I wanted to thank you for taking me home the other day when I couldn't talk, and I'm really sorry I caused so much trouble for you.

[crisis_rain]

Emil? Hey you can talk now! Didn't I tell ya it'd clear up soon?

And it's no worries, I couldn't just leave you there like that. I'm glad ta see yer feelin' much better!

[ratatosk_knight]

Yeah, you were right-- it only lasted for two days. It just seemed a lot longer than that.

Better... yeah.

[Filtered]

[crisis_rain]

Still feelin' a bit down then I take it? Anything ya need some help with? I've got nothin' else to do after I get a book for Xion.

[once_knighted]

[Sorry Raven, but you saying "teenage girl" for any reason will always earn you this look.]

[crisis_rain]

I have standards ya know kid.

[once_knighted]

Whatever you say, old man. [Although something about the "never read a book before" thing is reminding him of someone. Hrm.] Who is this girl, anyway?

[crisis_rain]

She's a girl named Xion who arrived here 'round the same time I came back.

[inabook]

[crisis_rain]

[Success!]

I figured she'd be into something a bit... exciting is probably the best word! Though a general list would be good too, commin' from our little bookworm~

[inabook]

[crisis_rain]

Nope none of those sound like what I'm lookin' for. Got anythin' with a little more suspense?
