[As soon as the toad goes missing, Sephiroth's looking for cats. It makes sense to him more than toads disappearing into nowhere, especially since he might have just jinxed it by mentioning felines to begin with.
His night vision is excellent, hopefully Gorgug's is too; the robe's light will just have to be enough as he steps around the half-orc carefully to look forward and then back.
Something's not normal, something feels off, but Sephiroth doesn't know enough about libraries to know if this strange liminal place was TYPICAL of libraries or if they're walking into a trap. The toad isn't as cautious as he is, giving a happy croak and wriggling in the direction of PENDING FOOD, but he doesn't let it go. Not when the last one disappeared.]
..Someone's already been through this way.
[That's the entirely wrong conclusion, but who else would leave books all over the place, not in their proper shelves?! It's obscene!]
And I think..
[He never finishes the htought. Did the row get bigger? Was it this big a minute ago? He frowns back the way they'd come but there's a toad to find and the books seem.. not entirely the subject they SHOULD be. Anyone who's read Alice in Wonderland would know better than to open a book called 'Open Me'. That's an enormous Do Not Touch red flag.
Sephiroth, since having his soul junctioned directly to a very special green dragon, has had side effects even though she's gone. Like rampant curiosity. He should pass these books by. He really should. He doesn't. Toad in one hand, he plucks up the book labeled Win A Prize with the other one. The toad is enthusiastic. Extremely.]
