I was wondering if people would like to do a literary swap? I've scavenged a book or two, and read them cover to cover.

I thought we might barter.

Tell me about some of the classics?

Well... there's a copy of the collected stories of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I've read a few, but not all of them. They were Ciel's.

[Al tips his head.]

It's about a detective and a doctor, they solve mysteries through logic. There are some interesting puzzles.

And 'A Princess Bride'.

[Which is exactly what it says on the tin.]

I didn't much like Sherlock Holmes.

[The person.]

Tell me about the other one?

al_truism: ('Cause I'm the Motherfuckin' Princess)
From: [personal profile] al_truism
[Al doesn't differentiate. But he obviously likes this book, so he smiles.]

It's about pirates. A corrupt prince, swordfights and a giant and riddles and rhyming games, torture, death and true love.

Something about a harem girl and a bandit-

A whale hunt. Or a chase up a river after a mad colonel.

A... whale hunt?

Tell me a little about both of them?

Oh-

[Al takes a moment to type.]

[x,y]

Here's the location of the library. There's a -- a pony, I think? Living there. Fluttershy's friend. But I'm sure she will let you borrow books.

Can I come by for tea? I'll read you a bit-

Of course. And you can have a look through my shelves if you like, I've got a lot of them.

From: [personal profile] al_truism
I'll be in the kitchen. Stay warm.

[Al's put together tea, like always. He has a cup already fixed how Break likes it, and some late berries to go with it.

He greets him with a smile.]


Should we take it in the library?

You seem like you're in a great mood.

[Al gives him a squeeze and leads him back to the "library" -- really, it's a room with a fireplace, with all sorts of mismatched shelves, bookcases and stacks. It's ordered chaos with a large squashy leather chair.]

[Al sets the tray on the table nearby the chair, nudging some books aside and getting up to look through the shelves.]

What have you been up to?

Reading, mostly, and more food gathering.

[Immensely suspicious of the resources here.]

[Al considers, then sets an Edgar Allan Poe collection in his lap.]

Do you like horror?
