“Psh, fiction has its merits,” Chiyo half-heartedly defended. She’d have to use better examples than what she did spend her time reading, because romance novels hardly counted as wholesome reading material. “Because everything’s made up, they focus more on how people feel and react in certain situations. And sometimes the worlds the writers create are quite interesting as well. It gives you an insight on the author’s mind, and by extension, other people like them.”
She was mostly talking out of her ass though. Fiction is awesome because it makes you feel, and nothing made her feel quite as good as a story about two star crossed lovers trying to reach out to one another an forge a connection.
They call this stuff trash, and they’re not entirely wrong.

"Yeah, not so interested in gaining insight in some author's mind. Social sciences, and other 'soft' sciences are not really my thing."
Mochi frowns as she remembers something.
"Oh! Forgot to tell you something. I have a project I'm working on, so I'll only use my bed every other night. So tonight I'll won't be here. Tomorrow evening I will, and I'll actually turn in early. Magic does have it's limits..."

Chiyo turns a page, now appearing to be completely absorbed in her book again. “Cool. You don’t snore, do you? I’m a terribly light sleeper.”
It was a flat out lie. She could sleep through a riot, but sometimes the thought of someone being loud or obnoxious could keep her up.

"Hadn't had any complaints yet. Wouldn't worry about that..."
Mochihime grins as she reads something funny on her phone and the conversation fades away.

The conversation does eventually fall into either grunted responses or collapses into silence as the Otomo finishes unpacking and the Bayushi keeps on reading.
