"What, you just... Think about things totally detached from the world and things that don't matter? There's a word for beasts like you, Kade. It's 'philosopher'." Seria laughed softly at her own joke. It was obvious that Kade was missing most of his social ability and that he'd be unable to understand most of what she was talking about. "You should take up a hobby, really."

"Like what? I don't know anything that I'm actually good at that I could make a hobby out of..." *Truly, Kade didn't know anything that he was good at period. Except maybe sword skills but that wasn't much of a hobby...*

"Who said you had to be good at anything? You do well at something because you have a hobby for it, not the other way around. Just take something up." When it came down to it, Seria liked to think of herself as capable of being an actual help. Of course, that never lasted as long as she'd like, but, as she often had to remind herself, nobody was perfect.

"Once again, like what?" *Kade asked with open curiosity. He wanted to know what it was that Seria could be talking about.* "What do beasts usually do for... hobbies? Do you have any?" *Ok, so maybe he was asking a number of questions without waiting for an answer but at least he was talking now...*

"Well, I don't really have room for many but when I'm not doing schoolwork or whatever, I like to read... I dunno if you like that or not, but that's what I do a lot of the time." That was one of the less pleasurable and time-consuming venues with which Seria liked to throw away her free time. Her schooling, apart from the six or so hours of classes, put about two hours of work in the house when studying was factored in. The result was only a few hours to spend on what she wanted.

*Kade shrugged.* "Reading is OK, I guess. If I'm going to read about stuff then why not just make stuff up myself, though? Thus, my own little world again. Urg, I need to find a way to interact socially better. Dantin used to help me out but he's been caught up in his duty and the other beasts in the house alot lately and hasn't been around..." *Here Kade let out a sigh, it seemed that despite having his own little world, Kade did get lonely though he didn't even fully realise that himself.*

"Reading is good because it introduces new ideas to your mind," Seria explained, "which you may not have thought of before. It expands how much you know about the world, your vocabulary, uh... How you think about things, which is really critical. When you read a lot, you can more easily view the world from within it, not your own, intrinsically limited vantage point. You get what I'm saying?" Hopefully, he did. That wasn't something she wanted to have to repeat.

"Yeah, I'm not as stupid as I seem, you know... I just don't get saying one thing and meaning something else." *That may have been said a tad hotly but it was hard to constantly be looked down upon as an idiot and never fully seen as an actual beast, more of a dumb pet or something like that...*

"Figures of speech, figurative speech... Even those two are different. My advice to you is... Read." Seria was about ready to go to sleep for a bit, despite her not being that tired. She always had a sleep debt and it'd be a relief to pay it off, although she was reluctant to leave Kade sitting there. "You have a bookshelf..."

"...with books that I've already read a number of times. Gotta throw some variety in my boredom, you know?" *Kade was noticing how sleepy Seria seemed, it looked like she might conk out right then.* "You... look sleepy. Want me to stop talking?"

"Go downstairs and crack open a book, I'll find you once I'm awake..." Seria sighed again and rolled onto her side so she could better sleep. She couldn't remember the last time she had fallen asleep during the day on her side, and doubted that this would be the first. All she could hope for was good rest and books for Kade right then.

*Kade nodded despite the fact that Seria couldn't see it.* "Yeah... ok." *He stood up and walked over to the door. He opended as quietly as he could and shut it behind him as quietly as he could. Now all he had to do was get downstairs and find a book without running into any nude beasts... fun.*
