Warnings: just a very, very poorly written book! Possible mild spoilers for genshin impact up to patch 4.8 in comments, but nothing huge.

[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.]

A book from another world? One of a kind? I'd be curious. Why would you give something like that away? It sounds special. Ah, that is, I'm assuming it's one from your world? From home?

[At the least. He assumes? He could be wrong. But Sorey can't help being curious. Wondering if it might be something like his journal. With all his notes about history, ruins he had discovered.]

W-well, ahaha, I don't really need it anymore, so why not pass it along?

[historiology]

What's it about? I have my journal. I've made lots of notes about ruins I've discovered in it, that sort of thing! Is it something like that? About your world's history?

[...Sorey not everyone is as huge a history nerd as you are. Maybe Kaveh is not as interested in that sort of thing or already knows it if it is from his home, so he has no use for it.]

[empyrean_mirror]

[The irony is, Kaveh IS a huge history nerd, though not as much as his husband. Still, he visibly perks up at the idea...]

Oh? Do you have it with you? That sounds fascinating...

[A beat. And then Kaveh grimaces.]

Um...no. It's...a mystery novel.

[historiology]

Yeah. I do. I can copy out some of it if you want? I'm unsure how much of it might make sense to someone else. To someone not from home, I mean. But if you want to have a look sometime.

[He could try to help explain if the other has questions. Though it likely won't help how sheltered Sorey himself has been as well. In not having left his own village back home until more recently.]

A mystery novel? Hm.

[empyrean_mirror]

It sounds fascinating...maybe it won't make that much sense, but isn't that the fun of being able to meet people from other worlds?

[He's so excited he almost forgot his own terrible book.]

Well, theoretically, anyway.

[historiology]

Right? We can learn so much from each other, from the similarities and differences, from the histories of so many different worlds!

[It's alright, Kaveh. Sorey is just as excited, just as much of a nerd.]
