[ Technically she's not lost very much. It's true that she doesn't know exactly where she is in the library, but would only have to jump out a window at the back of the building where less people would see her, and make her way back in through the front door to find the male dragon.

But humans didn't do that, did they? The humans in this world seemed to be much more fragile than the humans in her world. Maybe it was the difference in magic.

After a few moments of silent contemplation as she looks blankly at the stranger (he's magic, she thinks, but she would have to come closer and smell him to be sure) and then she nods. ]

Yes. A little.

[This poor child. The library isn't small by any means, so she must have gotten separated from an adult and wandered all the way here. Maybe she's scared stiff!

She's doing a good job of hiding it if she is, though.]

That's no good! Can I help you find what you're looking for?

[ She can smell her way to Fafnir, no worries. Honestly, the ways of finding the hikikomori-fying dragon were endless. Also she's older than him, even if she is a child by dragon standards.

Also not scared stiff, as there is no need for her to be. Her head tilts, and she blinks thoughtfully up at him. He's very helpful, is he a nice magic-human? ]

Fafnir-san can manage by himself for a while.

[ Probably. As long as he focused on what he was looking for and not on the fact that he was among humans. Fafnir does not like humans. ]

[It's just like kids to be more worried about the adults they've gotten separated from than for themselves.]

I guess if you say so, Fafnir-san will be okay!

But there's a lot of interesting stuff in the library. Do you want me to show you anything?

[He knows the place like the back of his hand!

Well.

Not really. But he knows this level! ...Mostly!]

[ There are plenty reasons to worry about Fafnir in particular, since he's all "death to humans" and stuff. As long as no Harmony dragons show up, it'll be fine. ]

He will.

[ She tilts her head, and had her tail not been hidden, it would have twitched curiously. ]

Interesting stuff? I want to see.

Yeah! Like... what do you like to read about?

[He knows what he finds interesting, but maybe that's not the same as what a little girl would like.]

[ She has to think about that. She reads stuff, of course, but recently it's mainly been things for school, so what would she like to read about now, when it's not for school? ]

About dragons winning and humans getting destroyed.

[ Doomsday stories with bad endings (for humans) please!

Well. She is a Chaos Dragon. ]

[That's awfully specific, and Musha has to think for a second. Stories about dragons winning... Oh!]

Have you heard the story of Kiyohime before?

[ She shakes her head. ]

No, what's that?

[ Is that a dragon that lays waste to the human world? ]

[Not quite.]

I think there's a version in one of these collections of legends... [He has to do a little bit of searching through the stacks and flipping through books, but eventually he comes back with one, and hands it over to her.

It goes, more or less, like this:

The story begins when a traveling priest stops by an inn that is owned by Kiyohime’s parents. Soon after the priest and Kiyohime engage in a torrid affair. One day the priest has a change of heart and decides not to meet Kiyohime anymore. Kiyohime becomes enraged by the priest’s betrayal and follows him to the river. When Kiyohime realizes that the priest is avoiding her, she jumps into the water and turns into a snake. The priest reaches land by a small boat and runs to the temple. He hides inside a bell to avoid Kiyohime. However, Kiyohime’s sense of smell is able to detect the priest inside the bell. She clangs the bell several times to push the priest out of the bell. When the priest doesn’t come out, she lets out a great torrent of fire that burns the bell and kills the priest.]

[ She silently accepts the book, and turns her gaze to the pages.

There's a little "ooh" when she comes to the part where Kiyohime turns into a snake. There's another one when the priest can't hide from her.

And for a child with a pretty blank face, when Kiyohime burns the priest to death, her eyes sparkles.

She doesn't notice that, while she reads, her tail pops out from under her skirts, happily flicking back and forth. She may be around a hundred years but that makes her a child and still not very strong in comparison to other dragons. ]

Wicked.

[ Wicked as in cool. ]

[Musha's intimately familiar with the way someone's eyes sparkle when they're enjoying what they're reading.

...he's less familiar with tails wagging.]

I'm glad you liked it! But, um, your tail's showing.

[She probably wants to be informed of that.]

[ She jumps, drops the book, catches it, and then yanks her skirt back over her tail to cover it.

Then, one hand holding down the skirt to stop the tail from showing again and the other grasping the book, which she uses to hide the lower half of her face with, she glances up at him. ]

...um...don't tell...

[ As she is a chaos dragon, she could just kill him and that way the secret could be preserved but Kobayashi would be disappointed if she found out. ]

I understand! It's a secret, no telling.

[He holds a finger to his lips to make a 'shhhh' sound. He'll be very careful!]

Do you want to know a secret of mine too? That way it's fair.

Un, thank you.

[ She nods, pressing a finger to her own lips. And then nods again, once her fingers once again are curled around fabric in her skirt. ]

Yes.

I'm actually the spirit of a book. I used to be a normal human, way way way long ago.

[...Though maybe not that long to a dragon. It's long for him.]

[ She looks at him in scrutinizing silence, sniffs the air, and cants her head to the side thoughtfully. ]

So that's why you don't smell like a human.

[ She can feel magic buzzing through the air. ]

I thought I smelled like a normal human. Unless-

[Horrified gasp!]

Did I forget to take a shower today?

[...Musha. Musha no.]

[ ????? ]

Humans have bad noses. Dragons have good noses.

That makes sense.

[And probably doesn't mean he has bad hygiene. But to make sure-]

Do I smell bad?

[ Her head tilts, and she looks up at him. She doesn’t understand what he’s so worried about. ]

You smell like magic and tomes.

[ Oh! ]

Have you not been licked clean properly?

I shower everyday! Like humans do!

[He is very good at taking care of himself, thank you! Also do dragons lick each other clean, that seems weird when they're shaped like normal people.]

Showers are nice on the roof, baths are nice too.

[ Human showers not as much. But the best it the rooftop showers, if they can’t lick each other clean. They do that when they’re in dragon shape, human form always feels a little wrong. ]

Isn't that a little dangerous, showering on the roof? What if people see you?

[Don't get watched by lolicons...]

There are a lot of floors on our house.

[ And they’re in dragon form then. Rather than lolicons, people will think they’re crazy or drunk. ]
