Is that how it is?

Robby's been around Chizuru long enough to know how bold this is--and if he didn't know any better (or, by the standards of girls in back in the Valley), he'd call it flirty. But this is only flirting in the sense of having a good time as friends--and with who knows how many books? He's definitely smiling for a second, watching Chizuru, just relishing this for what it is.

"Well then," he starts, a voice to go along with the mood this is in his head, "I guess if you're not sick of me yet for today, I could go and look around with you. We could check on books on palebloods," sure, "but maybe see about some fun books too? I did read a book on a Japanese author a while ago, actually."

Just to put that out there. Yes, Chizuru: Japanese books exist.

"I'm never sick of you."

Filed under: things that are entirely unnecessary to say, and yet Chizuru is saying them anyway. It's not even like Robby was genuinely putting himself down in any way, but she wants to reassure him all the same. Even if he already knows - she'll say it all the same.

Because Robby is just that important of a friend.

And, sure, they've been through quite a bit already with the memory.. but Chizuru still doesn't mind his company. If anything, the idea of going to do something else entirely after that memory feels a little nice. Like it's a way to calm down a little again, to relax and return back to a life as normal as it can be in this place.

"But.. are there books about Japan?" The idea does seem to make her perk up a little once she moves past that reassurance. It's like a puppy who just heard the word 'walkies', but with a more Chizuru-appropriate level of energy. "Here, in this place? Or was that back home..?"

S-She doesn't want to get her hopes up, after all!

It's very Chizuru to throw in a reassurance like that, and it is unnecessary, but--the way she says it sure does warm the heart, doesn't it? Robby can't help the goofy smile it inspires on his face, a small chuckle as he ducks and shakes his head. Only Chizuru.

But he can recover with Chizuru's curiosity, nodding his head rather eagerly, excited that he'll get to show her this.

"Yeah, here. How about you get ready and we go now? It's in Gaze, in the big Archives if you've ever been. It'll take a few walks to find the right books," down the aisles, that is, "but it'll be easier if we're both looking."

Teamwork!! Robby is already dressed appropriately for going out, and he can happily wait on the doorstep for Chizuru to get her coat and gloves and whatever else.

Who needs books on Paleblood and all that serious stuff? They can read about Japan, as a treat.
