I am not sure I have a favorite in particular, but I am rather fond of sweet things with spicy sauces drizzled on top. [That's because they remind her of Roswell.]

Would you prefer I call you Kagerou, Orihime, or Inoue? I do not mind which I call you, so long as you are happy with it.

I think he meant to ask you, Fred.

I see.

If 'dig' is the euphemism for 'finds attractive'... I must say no, not particularly. Scarring is simply a wound long healed over. Why one would find that attractive, I cannot imagine.

[weaver_girl]

I suppose they lend a person a certain air of mystery and danger? All the romance novels in the bookshop seem to agree, at least.

[man_genius]

...We have romance books in the bookstore?

... I CITE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT in defence of this comment

[weaver_girl]

Yes, we do! Right past the, um, adult section. They're kind of hidden in the back though. I'm not sure why.

oh god this is a librarian's nitpick and not entirely Geniusy but he is an ass...

[man_genius]

Wait. Who puts the romance behind the smut?! Isn't it supposed to go in the reverse order? I would hope there would be some literary wooing before we jumped to Bell and Rick's fetish fuel.

... with Kagerou, this might actually be a valid concern

[weaver_girl]

Hmm, maybe I just approached them from the wrong direction, then. There is a lot of shelves and piles in the bookshop.

[burntorangesky]

I may have to borrow one at some point, in that case.

[weaver_girl]

Or buy? They're not very expensive. I take most of them back eventually. They're nice for when you don't feel like thinking much, I think.

[burntorangesky]

Either or. And if I plan to return them later, that is a form of borrowing, I suppose. Though if I have to pay it is not really borrowing. [Pen taps]

Please excuse my rambling. I will certainly drop by the bookstore soon and see if I can find one or two that look interesting.

[weaver_girl]

Oh. I'm sorry. I meant that I exchange them for other books. There aren't that many books here, and we don't always get a regular supply. It seems better to give someone else a chance to buy them, too, right?

[burntorangesky]

Ah, I see! I do not visit it enough to be aware of that, I suppose. And yes, I quite agree. Better that the wealth of knowledge be shared with all than hoarded by a few.

[weaver_girl]

We really should have a public library, but on the other hand I wouldn't want to rob Mr. Book of his livelihood.

[burntorangesky]

I am not entirely sure we have enough books to make up a whole library; we do not have enough to allow us to have both structures. This way is best, I think, and likely enough people could get free books from the various Wildernesses that no one is complaining.

[weaver_girl]

That's true.
