[ You left him alone again, Sieghart. What about their yaoi romance?

Anyway, Claude slides neatly off the couch, groggily awake when he hears Sieghart, just in time for his head to bonk gently into the ground.

He doesn't seem very bothered. ]

Thanks... for your assistance.

[ercnerd]

[There's fanfiction.

He grins down at Claude.]

Were the books so boring that they put you sleep?

[shaft]

[ He doesn't move, still staring tiredly up at Sieghart. ]

I wouldn't say that—I might've overindulged. What brings you to this humble tomb of tomes?

[ercnerd]

What else? It's been a while since I've had the chance to sit down and read some comic books. I was on my way upstairs when I saw you.

[shaft]

Oh, that's right. You mentioned those before. Are you sure they have those here?

[ercnerd]

Sure they do. I read one yesterday!

[shaft]

I still don't think I've explored any on my own. [ follows him! ] You should recommend something relaxing to me.

[ercnerd]

I'll pass it off to you if I happen to come across it. I've only read the one book so far.

[shaft]

Was it to your liking? [ analyzes sieghart ] If I had to guess, I'd assume that you enjoy stories of... friendship and adventure. With happy endings.

[ercnerd]

Oh, nice guess. What made you think that?

[shaft]

The innocence in your eyes.

[ercnerd]

What does that look like?

[shaft]

Hm, a certain twinkling?

[ercnerd]

I don't know about that . . .

[shaft]

You don't think you're innocent?

[ercnerd]

I'm a six-hundred-year-old human. Can anyone be innocent for that long?

[shaft]

Is it wrong to believe in miracles?

[ercnerd]

Hm . . . I suppose it isn't.

But I wouldn't call myself a miracle worker.

[shaft]

Well, a human being 600 years old is unlikely enough.

If anyone could manage to be innocent for so long, it would be someone already an anomaly.

[ercnerd]

You have a way with words. I don't know any immortals who can claim innocence after having lived for so long, though.

[shaft]

I wouldn't know, you're the first I've ever met.

[ stares ]

[ercnerd]

Am I? Does that mean you've never met a dragon before?

[shaft]

Well... I didn't realize she was a dragon at the time.

[ercnerd]

Didn't she have horns?

[shaft]

No, she looked like a normal woman. Except then she turned into a giant dragon.
