As expected, I am not finding anything at all...

Claude
volume_up

Flayn? Are you looking for something in particular?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Oh, I was just hoping for general reading that might illustrate the lives of city dwellers.
link
Claude
volume_up

Right. Well, there should be regional records somewhere around here...
link
Flayn
volume_up

I haven't need of official records or anything of the like. Just some light reading on the subject.
link
Claude
volume_up

Light reading? What do you mean by that?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Oh, you know, books that cover things like what types of activities young people enjoy—how they spend their free time.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Popular fashions and trends—things of that sort. And even, perhaps...stories about romance.
link
Claude
volume_up

Ah. I see what you're getting at.
link
Claude
volume_up

Try asking a traveling merchant. I hear they keep stock of, uh, books like that.
link
Claude
volume_up

As for here, I don't think you're going to find much aside from a bunch of stuffy records.

We do get new books donated on a fairly regular basis, but then Seteth... Well, you know.

After all, everything here is a book that Seteth... Well, you know.

Flayn

My brother? I am afraid I do not follow.

Claude
volume_up

Apparently he directly approves every book before it's allowed to grace these shelves. You know, to make sure nothing "inappropriate" gets through.

I see... I did not realize he had a hand in such things. Well, I suppose it really is no use searching here.
link
Claude
volume_up

Why were you looking for those sorts of books anyway?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Well, truth be told, I am not particularly well versed in the ways of ordinary people.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Seteth never taught me of such things, and he strictly forbade me from spending much time out and about on my own.
link
Claude
volume_up

I had a feeling that might be the case. Sounds like Seteth.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I understand and appreciate that he acted from a place of concern, of course.

Claude

Without a doubt. It's obvious that you're his whole world, for better or worse.

Without a doubt. It was always obvious that you were his whole world, for better or worse.

By the way, I've been wondering. Are you two from a noble family?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Hm?
link
Claude
volume_up

You've clearly had a rather high-class upbringing, and both of you have Crests. That can only mean you come from a prominent bloodline, right?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Of course not! No, no. Y-you are mistaken.
link
Claude
volume_up

So...your refined way of speaking isn't because of your upbringing?
link
Flayn
volume_up

I was not aware that my speech differed so greatly from my companions. Do I really sound so... formal to you?
link
Claude
volume_up

Well... Look, don't worry too much about it. I'm probably just overthinking things. Probably...
