Reading! [holds up her book: The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou.] Although I think that every non-romantic piece has been removed from it....anyway, what about you?
Ah, didn't you hear? I was looking for a book of recipes. Or something like that. I realized I should take a step forward and at learn how to handle that.
Are you? Sorry, I must have missed that- guess I was too focused on my book.
Mm, I honestly don't know for sure....but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. This place isn't really designed to encourage self-sufficiency, what with the animals that'll make us meals and all that.
For some reason, most of the creatures here seem to like me. I can't sit down without being piled on by rabbits and cats.
It's hard to explain, so...here, I'll just read some aloud. [opens book, flips pages]
We, unaccustomed to courage...exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness....until love leaves its high holy temple....and comes into our sight....to liberate us into life.
...Oh, hello Miki-san!

Why are you reading that, by the way?

Just something to pass the time, I suppose. [she doesn't mention the erotica she stumbled upon and hurriedly put back...]

So no secret love of poetry?

Well, it's not bad poetry....

What kind is it? I didn't look into them much.

I don't really understand everything it's talking about- [a lie, she does, more than she ever wants to] -but I like how it sounds, you know?
