[ Break listens intently to Tohko, and does not at all interrupt her, his attention seemingly captivated. Because, you see, it is. Not so much for the story ITSELF, but as Tohko's reaction to it. One does not describe books as though they are food, after all. Not normally. ]

... A most interesting synopsis! I shall have to read this book when I have the chance, assuming the library here is not as dreadful as it first appears.

[ But he smiles brightly, now. ]

I should thank you for telling me, Miss Amano, even if only in a roundabout sense. I rather suppose this would explain your poorly built mask... it is rather hard to steep tea made from words, after all. In the future, I shall have to see what I can do to suit your tastes a bit better. You shall have to explain this to me properly, however, at some point. Consider it a reward for being so helpful; I will aid you in whatever way I can--just as I said I would. Even if you refuse to consider it in simplistic terms.

[ Now, really, was that so hard, Tohko? ... Never mind he sort of tricked you into babbling a confirmation at him, shh. ]

... Besides which, lying does not suit you at all. This sort of honesty is, I think, much a more fetching shade on a Librarian like you.
