"-but I- don't have anything else to pay with?"

"As another default, people shouldn't demand sex as payment. This is even truer when the terms were not specified before hand and even more truer when things are explicit or implied to be free."

"-oh," he sounds like that's- completely new information. "I- I didn't. Know. I'm sorry."

"Apologies from you over this to me, are not necessary." Pause. "I mean that you're the wronged party here."

-and there's another new concept apparently.

"I- as you say, sir," he agrees instead of arguing.

"Hopefully your time with better company shall help you deal with this."

"I- yes. Hopefully. Thank you, sir."

Nod. Back to the library or maybe Parafi wants to eat something?

He would probably eat if reminded, but in the immediate: library.

The library is there, with it's books.

Books! He'll quite happily go back to reading if no-one wants anything else from him.

No one does... at least for a while. "Parafi?" One of the triplets approaches. The smiley one.

"-Sir?" he responds immediately, looking not sure whether he wants to put the book aside hurriedly, or clutch it to his chest.

"There is no reason to worry. I just wanted to check if you had dinner."

He blinks. "I- uh, no, sir?"

"Are you hungry?"

"-yes?"

"Well, you still can catch the tail end of dinner time."

Oh. Yes. He can do that, can't he?

"Thank you," he says, and sets about clearing up the books.

"I's no trouble. Let me help you." He helps clearing up the books. "Do you want take one out?"

"-I'm allowed?" (He thinks he remembers being told something about that, but hadn't exactly thought it applied to him.)

Feliaris blinks a little at the confusion. "Yeah, you just need to register that you took it out and then you need to return it after... I think it's two weeks max."

"I- thank you," he says, and pauses, before choosing one of the books. "I- how do I do that?"

He smiles genially. "Let me show you."

Feliaris walks him through the process at the desk, there is a sleepy librarian there that checks them out. It requires a signature, but Feliaris signs on Parafi's behalf.

"Thank you," he says again, hugging the book carefully to his chest.
