[He is so mad. So very, very mad right now. He doesn't remember how much he loved books beforehand, but he does know that he has all of two personal belonging here - his satchel and his feather hairpiece. That means anything not nailed down, he doesn't mind taking. He found those books, that made them his.

Until the goblins came.

He had the sense to go back to bed after they woke him up in the middle of the night, but he can most certainly scream while preparing breakfast.]

Of all the things to jump into my bed in the middle of the night and take from me... Books? Not even books that teach you fundamental skills! Puff the Magic Dragon, a children's book, clearly; The Giving Tree, which is also more art than words and not even diagrams; and some kind of book that actually had pieces that jumped up at me off the page.

The books were lying on the ground! Clearly whoever lost them didn't care that much about them! So I picked them up and brought them to my god's temple! What was wrong about that?!

If anyone has books that they don't want anymore, I will gladly take them off your hands instead of throwing them on the ground!

[He nods.]

Sure. You have bait then?

[kokuyoyo]

You said you had people who had books they’d found, right? We can use that.

[handsome_genius]

Oh right.

Okay so... Can we do this anywhere? Or did you have somewhere in mind?

[kokuyoyo]

We need somewhere with a terrain advantage… to place traps and make sure there aren’t a lot of escape points. Do you know anywhere like that? A building would be best...

[handsome_genius]

Didn't we arrive the same day? Where would I have found a place like that? I've been taking care of someone most of this time.

[kokuyoyo]

[Such judging silence]

….I hear there’s a mostly abandoned school around the Far Shore. Maybe we could ask the owner….

Bahaha

[handsome_genius]

I suppose that would work. Yeah, because of the 'school' look to it, right?

[kokuyoyo]

Sure.

[Actually he was thinking because there’s a good chance so many rooms means there’s a chance there’s one with only one escape route but. whatever.]

Hakkai…. That’s who you should talk to about this.

[handsome_genius]

Hakkai? Wait - I know him, I think. He's as tall as you with pointed ears, right?

[Yoon... everyone's tall compared to you.]

That's HIS school? ... Maybe we should find somewhere else.

[He seemed like a nice enough guy who just didn't deserve to have his school wrecked.]

[kokuyoyo]

...Did you piss him off or something...?

[What do you mean 'having consideration for other people', Chikusa can only think of that as a reason someone might shy away from using a place.]

[handsome_genius]

What? No, who could possibly piss him off?

[Yoon doesn't know Hakkai well AT ALL.]

[kokuyoyo]

I don’t know…. But you’re the one who doesn’t want to deal with him.

[Although now it’s an interesting question to ponder.]

[handsome_genius]

No, that's not it - I respect him a lot. I don't want to mess up his place.

At least not without his permission.

[kokuyoyo]

Then we get it.

[handsome_genius]

You think we even CAN get it for something like this? I guess if you know him better...

[kokuyoyo]

Has he ever given you any indication that he wouldn’t be that type of person…?

[handsome_genius]

He seemed really serious when we talked before. That's all. Like I had to follow the rules or get in trouble kind of person.

[kokuyoyo]

....He paid for my food, so you could probably get him to agree...

[handsome_genius]

What does paying for your food have to do with agreeing to something like this?

[kokuyoyo]

Well, it was stolen food.

[JUST CASUALLY SAYIN' IT LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL]

So the point is that if he's amiable enough for that.... This probably applies as well.

[handsome_genius]

... That sounds more like he was trying to clean up a mistake you made, doesn't it?

[kokuyoyo]

A mistake would imply it wasn’t on purpose…. But I think we’re losing track of the purpose of this conversation.
