Aries let the topic drop for the time being and instead hopped up the stairs until they reached the fourth floor. He couldn’t help the wide eyes stare at all the books and shelves, but before he could marvel too long Luca was already searching for their goal. He hurried to keep up with him and when they reached the aisle they wanted he blinked dumbly before looking up to Luca. “We have to<i>read</i>all these?” He asked, clearly not impressed with the idea. He watched with some childish stubborness as Luca picked up the first book before he sighed softly and went to pick up one on the other side.<br/><br/>Aries looked at the book in his hand and began softly sounding out letters in some of the more difficult words. He had been taught to read, he knew that much, but the letters and sounds had changed a lot over the years and he had to relearn much of what he had once known. Even the words people spoke with had changed, but that had been easier to follow since he often heard people talking, but he rarely had a chance to read anything but short signs on the streets. And without practice even what he had been taught was hazy now.<br/><br/>It was the books with pictures and diagrams that Aries found drew his attention, reading the small texts beneath them and mostly ignoring the books that lacked them completely. Even so, he only made it through a fairly small amount before Luca seemed to have reached his limit for the day. Aries had taken to sitting on the floor in the aisle as they worked, and at the thought of finally taking a break he flopped onto his back. “Finally~” He whined softly, his mind felt like it might short circuit with all this new information.<br/><br/>He sat up after a moment though, not wanting to stay too long if it was time to leave, and after putting away the book he’d been “reading” he happily resumed his place beside Luca. “Did you find anything?” He asked the male, looking up to his curiously as they returned to the stairs. “I wish more of the books had pictures. And they use too many big words… Why can’t they use easy ones?” He griped, though the small smile on his lips would make it seem as though he had still enjoyed himself… mostly because he got to do something that seemed particularly<i>human</i>. And of course he was happy to have Luca helping him even if he held little hope of finding a solution to his problem.<br/><br/>“We aren’t staying with the hunters tonight?” He asked once they were outside again. He wondered if it was because of him… He felt his heart ache as he thought that he may have ruined a safe place for Luca to rest. But what else could he have done? He chewed his lip softly and decided that he would just have to make sure that Luca was safe wherever they stayed, no matter what.
