Video; UN: oona

[mermaiding]

[Well all of that doll nonsense was, you know. Fun.

(It was not)

But it's over now, so moving on! Out of sight, out of mind!

Oona appears on the network, around 10 books scattered around her. From the looks of the covers, they're all very trashy ridiculous romance novels. Oona sits on the floor in the middle of them, one in her hand and opened somewhere in the middle, but her expression is a bit disappointed and exasperated]

Human books are so strange! Like stories and such-- really like romance. There is so many! But so weird. Want to read romance, but keep talking about gardens!

[Wait what.

She looks disappointedly at the book again and sighs deeply.] Where did she get flowers from, so sudden? Why is he stroking 'quivering flower petals'? [UH] Or rubbing buds? [oona wait--]

And! Man keeps suddenly having hard swords? They stab, but girls like? So weird! Is all such nonsense! [ooNA NO.

She tosses the book none-too-gently over her shoulder and rests her elbow on her knee, chin in hand, pouting.]

Tell me better stories.

[She thinks about it for a moment before it seems to click. Oh.] Oh.

[WELP. She stares at the books surrounding her, baffled] Eh. Suppose... [Like. She... Kinda can get why that might be appealing, but also--] It is not just... confusing?

I suppose it would be, for someone new to it...you'll likely get used to such language though, if you continue reading those books. And strange though it may be, there are only so many comparisons a person can make - once you've seen enough of them, it's easy enough to understand the rest.

[Oona is quiet for like 5 seconds before her expression turns sly and she rests her chin in her hand, smiling at him. Her tone is teasing]

And have you? Seen enough of them.

[Fans do nothing to hide the way his gaze has slid away from the screen, but. He's using a fan anyway.]
