[ So really all this video is is of books falling off a shelf. After they've settled, there is a tiny voice- ]

oowwwww....

[ Duke is not wearing clothes in his own size, as the want for clothes that he doesn't keep on with tent-string was greatly diminished by his want to look at books.

Even if they are strange books in a strange barrier-ed place without any knights or sword stairs or palaces or quarters like he'd heard from the cats. ]

[ Duke scrubs at his face a little, really with those over-sized sleeves, and peers at the newcomer. ]

I didn't think it was stuck...

[surly_chosen]

Still, look at the mess you've made. You're going to get scolded.

[With a heavy sigh and a distinctly put-upon expression, Zelos starts to help put the books back where they belong. She's really too little to deserve getting scolded just for an accident.]

What's your name?

[He doesn't think to give his. Everyone always knows him.]

[Action]

[dukeling]

I didn't mean to bring them all down!

[ The librarian would be upset at him if they got damaged though. Duke is going to be very carefully checking for bent pages as he helps the red-haired boy ... well, pick them up. ]

... Duke. Is this your library?

[Action]

[surly_chosen]

Duke? That's a boy's name, it doesn't suit you.

[Geeze, people even name their kids wrong here. This place is dumb.]

No, it's not mine. Mine's smaller but that's just 'cause it's in my house.

[radiantwingedone]

Oh. [ ... what- ]

But... I am a boy...

[Action]

[surly_chosen]

What?! No way!

[True it's custom for noble boys' hair to be on the long side, but not that long!]

[Action]

[dukeling]

... I am...

[ He's starting to hide behind that book he just picked up. ]

[Action]

[surly_chosen]

You tricked me, you little jerk!

[He doesn't like being messed with, especially not when he was actually being nice.]

If you're a boy you should look like it!

[Action]

[dukeling]

[ Duke winces, his shoulders hunching up and fingers gripping that too-large shirt.

He just.. sort-of nods, grabbing the book he wanted and... starts backing off, clutching the book. He'll turn and sort of scurry off after a few steps, looking for a corner behind a chair or something. ]

[Zelos watches the other boy run with a snarl on his face. He's so done this this place! No one knows him, everyone is stupid, and even the boys look like girl! It's confusing and irritating and he's had it!

Don't mind him as he kicks a book on his way to stomp back out to the street in a cloud of indignance.]

[ What did the book ever do to you?

Obviously this will be the most comfortable week ever... ]
