Princess hugged the sole book that she had found thus far to her chest, as if she thought he might take it from her because of his assumption. She had been intending to find more, of course, and she did not even know if she would like this book. It was different from most of the books that she read, but she was willing to give it a try. It would be good for her to expand her book collection, sooner or later. She doubted that Haven would be bothered if she brought back a large number of books to stash around the house, though she didn't know if he read.
"A pretty girl can't read?" she asked, her tone still defensive. "Besides, I learned when I was young." Truthfully, she did not know who it was that had really taught her. She'd left Tokyo very young, and then it had been just her and her brother. It was a skill she had picked up somewhere, but where or from whom was obviously not terribly important.
