Jim happens to pass the door and stops to stare at the TV. In his world, holographic books are the standard for entertainment, but this thing isn't a book. It's too big and bulky for that. The images are also flat and unsettling.
The bugs are weird, too.
Eventually, after a few minutes trying to discern what was going on with the television, Jim looks up at the sphinx in askance.
"Do frog's talk?" Rachel asked curiously, coming in soon enough to hear the statements, but not yet able to see the book. "And I'm pretty sure they eat bugs. Toad on the other hand...I think he eats whatever he wants?"
"I think the clothing would make eating them hard..." Rachel noted after a moment thought. Then she finally saw the book! "You're reading!" she...should have known that.

"The pictures show that they're wearing clothing, so maybe they are a frog and a toad that are people."
Her tail twitches thoughtfully. "I wonder if they taste the same as frogs and toads that are not people."

"Maybe it's about a different world?"

"A different world... I think that is right. I have never seen small houses for frogs or toads."
It's the sort of thing one would notice.

The TV's interesting, too. He's wondering if he can change the channel without upsetting the creature on top of it.

Oh, person! Her head turns to see if he's going to do anything more interesting than the book.

Does talking count?

"I don't know what that is. I have seen many things. What does it look like?"
