lezbn There was a short pause as Kieran examined the room, and Tayui was content with waiting. She had explored many buildings in the human city in here time and she no longer felt the need to rush her searches. She was able to recall how she had explored obsessively, constantly looking for something or someone with frightening fervour. She had settled down since then, but her interest for the buildings had never ceased, or rather, what treasures were hidden within the buildings. She flinched as Kieran gave the couch a giant push, feeling her eye twitch in annoyance at the screech of the sound. It was so different, so noisy, so hollow. It sounded forlorn and desperate, and rather creepy. She shivered and followed Kieran into the room, making her way carefully. She was never sure when there was a malicious piece of glass or weak section of the floor just waiting to attack. Human buildings were quite vicious, really.
lezbn Tayui watched silently as Kieran explored, smiling as he examined the outside world from within the building. It was curious how the humans put holes in their homes to see the world beyond. It was like they knew they belonged out there, but could not admit it. It was the compromise and the denial, with the shattered, broken glass to go with it. Tayui made her way over to the bookshelf Kieran was examining, growing excited with the prospect of finding more books. She peered over the male's shoulder, watching for a few moments before bending down to assist him. She kneeled beside him and began picking through the shelf, setting old, rotting pieces of wood aside and clearing it away.
lezbn After a few moments of searching, she came across a rather thick book. She wiggled it from its place between the rubble and set it on her lap, examining the title. Ruby for Beginners, it read. Tayui frowned, wondering what that could mean. Rubies were stones, were they not? But for beginners? The context was perplexing, and Tayui decided to check inside to see what it contained. Ruby is a reflective, dynamic, object-oriented programming language. It combines syntax inspired by Perl with Smalltalk-like object-oriented features, and also shares some features with Python, Lisp, Dylan, and CLU, stated the book. Tayui frowned once more, wondering what it could possibly mean. She flipped through a few other pages, but all the words were talking about things called 'enumerations' and 'parse errors.' How unfortunate; she had found a book, but it did not mean anything anymore! She had found a few books like this in the past and had always stored them in a building in the human city just in case someone else ever wanted them. She certainly had no use for a book she could not understand. She set the book aside and continued to paw through the broken shelf - perhaps there was something else of use. She (or Kieran) would just have to find it.
