[And Estelle being happy makes Rita happy in turn...So it's actually a pretty good cycle. The princess is just as cherished by Rita, too, and so she's finding that going out and shopping together and doing things she never would've thought as "fun" isn't so bad--it's nice.
Of course it's the library. Rita's fine with that, knowing Estelle will definitely like it (and really, so does she), and she readily agrees.] Yeah, that sounds good.
[One little warning, though-] Oh...The library's pretty weird, so it can be impossible to find books if you're actually looking for them. I wouldn't say it's sentient or anything, but... [Or, she'd rather think that it isn't.]
[Estelle never got the sentiment of going out shopping for fun either, but now she can see why it is. It’s a special kind of bonding, and gives people unique subjects to talk about.
And yay library! No one can ever go wrong with the library when Estelle’s involved, unless they’re trying to get her away from the library - that’s a different story entirely. Though Rita‘s warning does catch Estelle‘s attention.] So if I’m looking for a certain book, there are chances I won’t find it? [True that there are times when Estelle would prefer to read a specific genre, such as histories and geographies, but other times she picks up a book at random simply because she wanted something different.]
[Of course, if asked, Rita would probably still shoot it down unless it was for something necessary. Tsuntsuntsun.
To the library! Rita nods as they walk, the bag of clothes in one hand.] That's pretty much how it is. It's a pain if you're trying to research. [Though if anyone wouldn't be as bothered by that, it probably would be Estelle.]
[Unless it was Estelle who was persistent in getting Rita to go and refused to take 'no' as an answer.
Yay, to the library they go! Hopefully that bag of lingerie isn't too obvious. It would be rather embarrassing to go into a library with other people figuring out what they just bought.] So, I would assume that you have tried to get books to help with your research at this library. [That would have to be nothing short of frustrating.]
It better not be obvious, or Rita will be horrified. Nobody needs to know what they're walking around with!] I tried once or twice, but it was a total pain. I don't need them, anyway. [Sooo frustrating, and so Rita ended up making a deity trade for all her materials from home.]
[Yep, Estelle has a sort of magical power over Rita. derederedere]
I see, that does sound like nothing short of frustrating. [Hopefully Estelle won't get to the point that she absolutely has to read a certain genre of book - though with her ADD something else will catch her attention and she will be fine.]
It's so annoying! [Uuugh. But she sighs and shrugs, because Estelle always seems to find books without looking for them, anyway.] But it's probably perfect for you. You read just about everything, don't you?
Well, anything that catches my interest I will read. [And that apparently includes books about battle techniques and how skills are transferred from inside the weapon to Blastia. This girl reads everything...aside from naughty material.
And she smiles, continuing to walk, that slowly turns into a skip, though she catches herself and goes back into a walk.]
[It might just figure that the City could leave books like that around for Estelle to find, too...
Rita blinks in a bit of surprise. Of course Estelle's optimistic, but the way she's so cheerful despite being in the City...It's pretty amazing.] You're really that excited for a library?
Of course I am. There are books! [Even if it were a simple book store, she would be this excited! However, libraries mean there is a check out system and therefore won't have to pay to read a book!]
Is there a library card system here? Is it easy to get said card if there is one?
[Yes, a used bookstore would be good. Cheaper too...]
So, can we just take books from the library, then return them? [Though that hardly made sense since it would defeat the purpose of what a library is, at least a public library.] How do they keep organized then? [Confused Estelle is confused.]
[The house is going to become a library of its own before long...
It's easy to find things when they're all out where they can be seen. Like on the floor.] Hmmm...I don't really know. [The books she took are still buried somewhere...]
♥♥♥; oh my god, I used the wrong 'they're' /grammar nazi's only herself
[It probably will, especially if people have bad habits of not return books to the library…
But then you can’t walk on the floor and then step on items and that hurts.] You don’t know? Then…you just take them and return them? [An honor system?]
[The study is already a mess of tomes and equipment. Their bedroom might be next...
If it keeps people out, she has more peace and quiet! Theoretically, at least.] I guess you can return them if you want, but that seems like a pain to me.
[Yes, the bedroom may become Estelle’s personal library. At least her side of it. She’ll keep it organized though.
But peace and quiet is always nice when trying to read a book. Perhaps they could both keep their room a quiet zone, or set times for quiet time for reading and researching.] You don’t return books to the library? [And a bit of a disapproving look appears on Estelle’s face as she lightly scolds her friend.] Rita, you need to return them, or else others won’t get to read what you took! It’s also stealing, since those books technically belong to them – in fact they belong to everyone!
[One organized roommate and one messy one--but at least they both like books.
Rita is more than okay with letting Estelle read whenever she wants to, though she doesn't keep any kind of schedule herself. At the scolding, she blinks, and waves it off.] It's not like anyone else around here is gonna read those ones, Estelle. Besides, I need them as reference material sometimes.

Rita doesn't give it any thought. Organization is overrated.] This is the City. It probably organizes itself no matter where you put them.
♥♥♥
Organization is wonderful and makes finding things easier!] So, do the books magically return to the library once their due?

Maybe someone else is interested in researching the same things that you are! It would be unfair to them that you are keeping those books.
♥♥♥
Well--yeah, but...It's not like the library isn't full of other books just like them.
♥♥♥
[When it comes to books and libraries, Estelle has a bit of an opinion that she openly expresses.]
♥♥♥
[That she does, and Rita finally gives in. Sort of.]
♥♥♥
[In other words, Rita is not getting out of returning her long overdue books.]

[Whoops...D-distraction?!]
A-anyway, we're almost there!
