Lavi

“What’s it about? Edda still doesn’t know how to read.” since he’s told her not to read it the temptation to read it has sky rocketed. Although if Lavi says it’s bad then it must be true, she’ll tell Mr. Store Keeper about it tomorrow.

“I’ll work at the café a bit tomorrow and get you a better book, okay? Edda will be sure to get the opposite of what Mr. Shop Keeper says boys your age likes.” she’d just tell him that Lavi had the same taste in books as a lonely old man.

“Just go and eat!” He’s had enough of this conversation. Taking the book he went to put it somewhere locked up where she’d never find it. Her curiosity knew no bounds and it was honestly annoying at times.

Following behind, he sat down. “No, just focus on your studies. There is no need for you to work, Edda.”

“Sometimes the public doesn’t get what they need, so I hardly expect anything out of patrols.” Don’t mind him, just a little irritated that the lower quarter’s in the state that it’s in. Don’t think any knights go down there anyway except to chase him or collect taxes.”

“Don’t need it.” He’ll just wander around aimlessly until he sees something that might be interesting. Knowing him, it’ll be a book on battle techniques.

“That may be the case here, but possibly there will be a day in the future where things won’t be that way.” He doubted it. History was a giant loop and the government was deeply seeded with corruption.

“If you wish to protect people, there is a book on the top shelf, third from the right in the back that may help.”

“Cake! Edda will scrub the front until it’s super duper clean!” the child smiled, she hadn’t had cake in ages, what type of cake would be best though? A plain yellow cake would be nice, but a chocolate cake would be better.

“Do you like your book? The store keeper said boys your age are into that stuff!”

A blink as his face burned even more. Like!? How could he like this dribble. Ignoring that fact of what it was, there was the fact this stuff was normally poorly written.

“Perhaps if I was a human male, then yes. However, I’m not so these things hold little interest for me. On that note, never touch or read books like these.”

Of course the white haired child hadn’t heard that she was too busy staying away from the library.

After a few hours she returned a book in her hands, “Edda worked at the café to get you a new book! So you better forgive Edda for drawing on the front!” she smiled holding up a book she was sure Lavi hadn’t read yet. The bright red circle on the back was appealing to her, even though she didn’t know what it meant.

Setting the plate of curry down, the krityan headed to the front of the store, snatching the book from her and crossing his arms. “Tomorrow morning, you will clean the mess in the front. If you do well enough I’ll back you a cake as a treat. If it’s done poorly, you’ll keep washing it till you deserve the cake.”

Turning away, he looked down at the book before going a bit red. This... this wasn’t what he was expecting.

“Laviiiii! Edda got us cookies!” wait she was supposed to be out of the library, and there was the thing with the library front too… “Edda’s going to go get you a present! Don’t look at the front, Edda definitely didn’t do that!” she yelled, placing the bag down, and fleeing the crime scene.

What had been a nice nap, ruined by the loud child. A sigh before sat up, stretching and popping his back before getting up. “... If you defaced the front of this building Dog Food will be the least of your worries.” It seemed it was time to make dinner.

“Oh, there’s a knight patrol coming around here?” Of course he wouldn’t know about that, he’s mostly memorized what little patrols there were around the lower quarter.

“Guess I’ll stay until then.” The others could take care of themselves without him.

“There is a small school near here, this library and a few shops. Areas that the public would like guarded, would they not?” Looking up, he almost smiled before glancing back down to his papers.

“Perhaps the picture books in the back would be enough distraction till the patrol passes by.”

Pouting the child pulled out her trusty red marker before getting to work defacing the front of the library.

After deciding she had ruined the place enough the child smiled a bit before hopping off to find some rocks to throw at the window. Her mission to get rocks was a failure as she had returned with a bag full of food.

Finding the book, he frowned with discontent. No matter, he’d have to simply order another copy. So long as she kept her teeth out of his far more unique books, that would be fine.

Tossing the book in the trash, he headed back to his room for an afternoon nap.

“Fine. Edda is leaving, don’t coming crawling back to Edda because she was about to tell you about the Adephagos!” the girl stuck her tongue out at the Krityan before running out the door.

“Have fun getting locked up.” A sigh as he went back to searching his books. Sooner or later the knights would come to bother him about her causing mayhem somewhere in the city.
