"... Boys are weird." Kaine muttered to herself while they went about their strange, relationship oriented ritual that was probably unique to them to begin with. In a way she understood it but she and Nariko had never patched over an awkward series of events by punching each other. They petted hair and asked if someone else needed to be punched so that it was easier to get away with.

But whatever.

"This way." The nearest trash can stood just beside the steps that would lead up to the immense library. Kaine dumped everything in except for the glass bowls. Someone would come by and pick them up before the end of the day, and once that was done she lead him the rest of the way. When they stood on the cracked marble, surrounded by books from floor to ceiling, she only raised her arms. "Book central! Can you imagine how strange it was to leave this?" From a land full of books and paper to a place with hardly any of it.

In an entirely different part of town Nariko had yet to realize anyone was following her, much less Roland. She made it beyond the arch into town and then immediately snapped to the right. Between the wall itself and the stairs that led up top was an alley, thankfully left empty, and as soon as she was relatively out of sight she stopped and leaned against the wall. "Fuck."
