“I have this book of old fairy tales that I like. As much as I enjoy learning new things or novels for the sake of reading… I really like some of the old fairy tales. Not that I want to be some damsel in need of a knight to save her.” Dest scoffs and rolls her eyes. “I’d rather not be the damsel. I guess I just like to remember what it was like when Leon was alive still. He used to turn an occasional fairy tale into a funny song. Just to make me smile because I had very little reason to smile back then.”

“Any sort of books on history and old ruins. Definitely books on magic.” He begins rambling off on various books, his ruby carbuncle watching him wander off as he rambles. No longer even paying any attention to the original question or anyone else. Esper finally trotting off after the boy.
