Out of all the books I had in my room…

why that one…? I mean, it was the closest one to him, so I can see why…. but why did it have to be that one?!

I was just curious about it! Hopefully he didn't see the illustrative part of it…. Oh gods, he’s looking at me, and he looks terrified! So, he saw it?! This is so humiliating… aww even his tail is quivering… so… cute… no, he's NOT a pet.

Hopefully, he forgets about that. Ah! He looked interested in books, let's give him one of the magic design books. He wouldn't be able to make any of the contraptions, but it should be interesting if he can read it.

Now, to find it and give it to him…

What the heck is crazy girl doing now?

Going to the bookshelf? Oh, maybe getting me another book?

Maybe that one I grabbed first was a diary? ...eh, whatever.

……………….

…...what is she looking for?

………………………….

...this is awkward…..

Hmm…. oh, there we go, seems she found what she was looking for? She picked up a thick book, doesn't look too big, but it does look a little heavy and then brought it over to me.

She then went to hand it to me, but it somehow missed my hands, and the edge fell….. right...on... to… my… TAIL!

BITCHMOTHERFUCKERCUNT (it continues but I'm not gonna show my whole cuss word library)

Ow…. dammit, now I have tears in my eyes…

Did she break it? She definitely broke it….

Owowowow…

I hate this world...

That… looked quite painful…

Well… I know how painful that is because people have dropped those on my feet before.

Why is nothing going correctly when it comes to my familiar… communication issues, awkward situations, me hurting him… the list is growing.

*sigh*

I'll at least put the book down next to him so it doesn't somehow lad on his tail again.

… ah, he flinched…

… I'm a terrible summoner….. my own familiar fears me…

Oh? He's looking at the book? Looks like he's interested. I'll just go to sleep… I don't want to cause another problem.

What am I reading…? This looks similar to German…. but I can't read German so I can't really tell… at least the alphabet looks like the standard abcs? Arrrgggh.

Maybe I can try writing in English tomorrow and see if they understand it? I doubt it… won't hurt to try I guess…

………...

…………………………

……...I can't sleep…

After staring at the ceiling all night, morning finally came.

I think I scared the girl who got me into this mess when she saw I was awake.

..good, she deserved it. What was her name again?

…..I completely forgot…

……. oh well, it'll probly come up again later..

Well, let's see if she understands English writing…

So I grabbed a piece of paper and that thing similar to what the beastmaster was writing with yesterday and write, can you read this? Hopefully she can….

She saw the paper, looked at me, looked back at the paper, and then… and then hugged me…? What the hell?

{Iona’a PoV}

He… he wrote…

HE WROTE…!

This doesn't look quite correct… but he used letters similar to ours!

Maybe I can speak to him!

...but what language is this? It looks similar… but it's different at the same time… hmm…

Maybe it's a language that beastians are more likely to speak? Maybe I should ask one of the professors…

Would they know?

Or maybe Beatrice… she's actually spent time with them…

I shall ask when we get there… I'm definitely bringing him with me.
