He follows Manabu's gesture, and nods, moving around him to crouch down to the area where he found the book. Ryunosuke starts to scan the shelf. There's a few more authors he recognizes here -- Ogai, Shinmei just to name a few-- but when his fingers touch the spine of another Soseki Natsume book, he grins. A book titled London To, he finds, and he removes it from the shelf with care. He flips through a few pages, excitedly scanning the words, briefly getting an idea of what the book was about before he glances up at Manabu.

"Not too many here, but I found another one." He waves the book before he's standing up again. "Looks like it's about his life in London, which I'm very curious about." Would he be mentioned at all? He reaches over and grabs the first book off the shelf, holding both of them with care. "This is an amazing find. I can't wait to read them."

He pauses, before he reaches out to take Manabu's hand. "How much exploring have you done in here? I've been mostly focused on reading books about Trench so I must have missed these." A pause, a light smile. "Show me what else you've found?"
