[Oh, it's Kaveh, waving at the camera. He looks...slightly damp? And Shadowlily appears to have burrowed into his shirt and is still grumbling at him LOUDLY the entire video.]

So I don't suppose anyone would be interested in a one-of-a-kind, annotated copy of a novel from another world, would they?

[Please. Please dear god take it from him.]

Comments

because of my biological father?

[catsgothistongue]

No? I heard someone post something on the network and took it out.

[With his foot, as you do. Stops his upside-down pull-ups for a second to squint closely at the camera.]

... Why are you wet?

...fair

[empyrean_mirror]

I don't dry off instantly after a shower, Ranma.

[He's fine. It's fine.]

[catsgothistongue]

[... Right.]

So what's the book about, and how bad is it?

[Cause you'd only be pawning it off to someone if it's not great™]

[empyrean_mirror]

I didn't finish it.

[Which should answer both questions honestly.]

[catsgothistongue]

Abysmal then, huh?

[empyrean_mirror]

I don't really understand why the House of Daena even had a copy...

[catsgothistongue]

House of who?

[Head tilt, like a dog.]

[empyrean_mirror]

The House of Daena is the Akademiya's library...while it's open to the public, it is primarily an academic library so having a mystery novel in it is a little odd to begin with.

[catsgothistongue]

Maybe someone left it there? People leave stuff all the time in my school's library that don't belong there.

[Like books, magazines, pineapple bombs, that sorta stuff.]

Or they could've dropped it there after seeing just how bad it was.

[empyrean_mirror]

No, it...was definitely the House of Daena's copy originally...

[Oh, the shame is creeping in now.]

[catsgothistongue]

[Oh. Give him a second to scratch his head and think about this. Yes, with his foot and not his hand. Boy's weird flexible af.]

Strange. Guess whoever owns this House of Diana joint just really likes crummy mystery novels?

[Said incorrectly, he tried tho]

[empyrean_mirror]

I don't know. Maybe it was of some interest to Lord Kusanali...or maybe it was donated.

[He will let Diana slide because ranma tried.]
