Part 194: Robin B

Here's that book I borrowed, Sumia. It was actually pretty interesting. The encounter at high noon was epic! I stayed up far too late reading it.

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! I'll bump it to the top of my pile.

So, what are you reading now?

"Ribald Tales of the Faith War."

I've never heard of it. Is it a novel?

Yes. It's roughly based on historical events, but all the characters are made up. And there's lots of... Well, ribald parts. But I suppose that's obvious.

You don't say?

Do you like novels, Robin? Or are you more of a nonfiction type?

Novels are good. Although I suppose I read a little bit of everything.

Oh, I just LOVE a good novel! I get so caught up in them I sometimes forget my own sad little life. I can pretend to be knight in shining armor! ...Or maybe an evil mage. Bwa ha ha!

I know what you mean. I always feel a bit sad when a good story comes to an end.

Oh, I know. Then it's back to reality for Sumia! Back to sad, sad reality... Er, but then I think about the next story and get excited all over again!

So then? What are you planning to read next?

"Mad Tales of a Bloodthirsty Falcon Knight"! ...Volume one. Of thirty- seven.

Oh. Well, that certainly sounds... like... a thing...
