[Maiza, you may be a cherished housemate, but a man's gotta pay his dues.]

Please. 'Loan shark' sounds so... predatory. We're simply lenders.

[He inspects the book closely, rifling through the pages for damage.]

And as professional lenders, we take our jobs very seriously. Is there a reason why you failed to return this book on time?

[contaeoro]

Lenders, eh? Well, excuse me. I do understand how it is to be picky about what you're called.

[He's smiling though. He just happened to conveniently have that book!]

I got engrossed in reading it, but it was a long read y'see.

[monocledman]

I understand. [He nods sympathetically and snaps the book shut.]

However, one really should follow the proper procedures when handling borrowed property. A missed deadline might seem a trivial detail to you, but it also means bitter disappoint for the next in line to borrow. For that reason, sir, I'm afraid I must impose a fee on you.

[contaeoro]

Can't argue, I'm afraid. What's the price, may I ask, good sir?

[monocledman]

I think it would only make sense for it to be a book. One which would add to our selection. Does that sound fair?

[contaeoro]

Fair enough it seems, although I may be compelled to argue if said book as sentimental value.

[monocledman]

Hm. Well then, by your leave.

[He will be coming in now, thank you. He makes a show of looking around the place.]

Where do you keep your books?

[contaeoro]

There's a shelf in my room, down the hall to your left. Do take care to brush the dirt off your shoes before you enter, if you will.

[monocledman]

[It isn't in his loan shark nature to be polite, but he gives his shoes the most casual of scuffs before entering... because this is secretly his house too. Oh so secretly. He heads down the hall and to the left as directed, looking into Maiza's room with a bit more interest. It isn't often that he gets a peek in, after all.]

Is this the one?

[contaeoro]

You're in the right place.

[He's sure his most important books are tucked away at his desk drawer. Not that any of the other books he bothered to keep aren't valuable either. Quickly glancing at the titles:]

You're mostly free to help yourself.

[monocledman]

[Mostly free, hm? He gives the spines on the shelf a leisurely read, recognizing some titles more than others. Eventually, he stops on one that he happens to be very familiar with indeed. He plucks Alice's Adventures in Wonderland from its spot with a smart hand.]

This one will do nicely.

[contaeoro]

Carol? Wouldn't you say that book is a bit too high in quality and value than the one I forgot to return? It sounds rather unfair, y'know.
