[/html]Short, since I should be studying right now :x
The two worked in companionable silence for a few minutes, and Tayui was content to allow a peaceful silence surround them. She continued to organize the books she found into three piles: ones she wished to take with her, ones she would put in the book house, and ones that were too destroyed to be salvaged. So far, she had found one book on plants and another on insects, but other than that, the shelves she was looking through seemed to contain more of the useless books. She was certain that all the books she found had been important, for some had pieces of paper stuck in them and small notes written in the margins, but she could not figure out what they could possibly be used for. Her pile of books to bring to the book house was growing larger and larger by the minute, which was quickly becoming rather disheartening.
She paused, watching as Kieran dug through his shelves. She shuffled over, watching him, wondering if she should offer her assistance. "Do you-" she began as he pulled the rotted piece of wood out, stopping when she saw he was managing well on his own. She paused, watching as he examined a book, ears perking up in interest as he named it. "That sounds interesting," she murmured, leaning in closer so she could peer around him and examine the book. "Could I take a look at this with you?" She asked, not wanting to invade his space, but intrigued nonetheless. History! She was excited to see what the book might contain. Imagine it! A history of the whole human world! Tayui felt giddy knowing the possibilities the book might hold.
