"That's good."

Thoughtful silence.

"Something on your mind?"

Slight shrug.

"I... hope you will be all right, here."

"Well, there's more than two people here now."

"Hm. Yes."

"I'll be alright, even if I have to figure out how."

She nods. "All right. Good."

"Excellent poetry helps."

She smiles. "Yes."

"I think I'll go investigate your recommendation, but it really was lovely meeting you."

Smile. Nod.

"Enjoy the poetry."

"I will!"

She picks up her book again.

And he goes to investigate the poetry.

It's good poetry. Very much the kind of thing that the Blue section is about.

Well, if they're her favorite, and they're very Blue, that explains why she has a whole section for it.

Doesn't it just.

Most of the rest of that day is spent on snuggles and magic practice, but Siva shows up at the library the next day.

Irikaino is reading.

...Siva grabs some books on Ansati and heads up to where Iri is.

"Hello."

"Hi! My Ansati study is going pretty well, I think. And I've started learning pain magic. And Necori happened, have you met Necori?"

"I met Necori yesterday. He is... interesting."

"Your father showed up at a party Necori was hosting and Necori asked him to dance."
