purely a friendly wager, of course.

Don't worry, don't worry~ that kinda encouragement really gets 'em going, yeah?

It's a challenge!

[crownedge]

Do you want to play?

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

NO WAY!

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

You'll take my clothes!

[crownedge]

Don't say it like that! That sounds weird!

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but...

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

Either way y'look at it, that's still the result!

[crownedge]

Why don't you come anyway? Charlie seems to think he can bet books, and I think you're the better judge of what those are worth. Also we can get dinner before hand.

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

Sure, sure! Of course, of course~

I'll definitely come! Actual useful literary material's kinda rare here, though, y'know? Don't know if they'll go for much just 'cause nobody seems to appreciate that kinda thing. They're not really pushin' good quality stuff. It's all about pushin' mushy stuff!

I'll buy ya a couple of things, too, but y'can't eat everything on the table this time!

[notwalking]

I appreciate that kind of thing.

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you've got love for words.

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

Just hard to find somebody else who does, too, y'know?

[notwalking]

I've found a few.

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

Lucky~ That's the kinda thing that's priceless.

Y'know, I'm kinda surprised you're gettin' rid'a books, but... I'll make sure they find a good place!

[crownedge]

So you'll buy them from me?

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

No way, no way, no way! I was gonna-

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

Y'got me. I can't lie to you, Allen, you're too cute!

[crownedge]

You know I'd give them to you, but.. I need the money. It's important.

[notwalking]

Believe me, I know.

It's not something I was really looking forward to doing. We could just skip the poker and talk books.

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that guy won't get it. He's not big into the books, y'know?

Don't worry, don't worry. I'll letcha have your books back for somethin' else later! Once I read 'em, I don't need 'em again.

[crownedge]

Math is much more important when you are living with Master.

[crownedge]

I guess that makes sense. I hadn't thought about it before, but a world without books must be very hard on you.

Thanks! You can pick where we eat.

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

It's okay. There's other stories to read, y'know? They're all over, if you're lookin' for 'em.

Not very exciting ones here, though.

[crownedge]

A Bookman's life is pretty exciting, isn't it?
