THE BEST GIRL CIEL....!!

[silentends]

 [Nier went to the library today hoping to find some small picture books or something easy to read. He was hoping to bring some novels back to his younger sister later on since she liked hearing stories.  Too bad every other book he seems to find appears to look way too confusing or difficult to understand and he's even struggling to read some of it on his own. ]

Why are these words so complicated? Maybe I'll ask Weiss to consider becoming a dictionary. Oh well. 

[He sighs and immediately drops the idea. Nier places the book back onto the shelf and takes the next one only to have the same problem. It's way too wordy for him.] 

I better give up on this one too. [lbr, it looks like he's struggling too much on his own and even making a bit of a ruckus. Ciel might be able to help (TM) ]

Aah, that's unlucky...

[Her shoulders deflate, but only for a moment- aha! Seems like she found something, as her eyes obviously light up as she pulls a book from the shelves.]

Mm! How about this one?

[She shows him the cover, which features a girl and a giant sunflower that grows to the clouds. The story seems to be somewhat similar to the classic "Jack and The Beanstalk", except instead of finding a giant that falls to his death, the girl befriends a flying... hippo, yes it is a big fat hippo, and they go on to adventures exploring the world. Cute... (Did he ask something? Haha,)]

[ Ciel is really just avoiding his questions like that man. Rip! But anyway, the giant sunflower book looks positively adorable and he smiles. ]

I think that would be great...!

[ She is too good at picking books.]

I really hope this one has a happy ending. There's nothing worse than a book that seems nice and the ending turns out miserable.

[What a polite boy, not digging further when it's clear a woman's keeping to her secrets...]

Then please, take this one too! Haha, thankfully the most you have to worry about with fairytales is a bit of violent karma. A lot of them started out as cautionary tales trying to teach children about morality, so villains often end up meeting grisly ends. The heroes generally get their happily ever afters, however. Seeing as you're your sister's guardian, the burden of vetting falls upon you. Just don't pick randomly to dodge unpleasant surprises, hm?

[Happily pushing the book into his hands in the meanwhile! At least he's done with what he has to do, more or less?!]

[silentends]

[Nier has some secrets he'll never share with anyone so he's not going to pry and be invasive. He has some tact. ]

Cautionary tales about morality...like how you shouldn't steal things from people or bad things will happen?

I'll do my best, Ciel. We have no idea what the future holds.

[septieme]

And if you do bad things, karma will catch up to you and deliver onto you a bad fate. Yes, things like that.

Hehe, I'm sure you will. I still need to get you the dictionary, but aside from that, do you need help with anything else?
