[It's a sleepy, warm, slow night in camp -- the perfect kind of evening to head to the library and curl up with a nice book and some hot chocolate, or catch up with friends (quietly!).

... Or watch that kid over at one of the tables with a modest pile of books squirm, fidget, and finally quit pretending he has an attention span.]

Uuuuuugghh.

Ah, let me help... *taking some of those*

[00_07]

Y-you don't have to!

[ohno_u_didnt]

It's fine. I don't mind.

[00_07]

Thanks. I thought I could carry all of them.

[ohno_u_didnt]

Just got a little excited, I guess. Um, what are you reading all these for anyway? Fun...or studying something? *Looking at the titles of the ones in her arms*

[00_07]

[they appear to be various biology textbooks and beetle field guides]

Fun!

[ohno_u_didnt]

Really? That's great.

[00_07]

Jaime helped me find a book on beetles, and I read it already, so, um, now I'm looking for more.

[ohno_u_didnt]

Ah, right. Because you have them as pets.

[00_07]

[nods]

I want to make sure I'm taking the best care of them.

[ohno_u_didnt]

That's very responsible of you.

[00_07]

They're my pets. I have to be responsible.

[ohno_u_didnt]

Mm, but unfortunately not all pet owners are.

[00_07]

They should be.

[ohno_u_didnt]

Yes, but they're not.

[00_07]

Why not?
