Caleb looked at the girl briefly before looking to his right hand, which was bleeding at a steady pace. His left hand exited the robes holding a roll of cloth bandages. Wrapping the finger and breaking the bandage, he hid the bandages. He began reading once again.

Monoé took out a small cloth, and took off most of the blood on the page, knowing how to not smear it.
She quickly flashed a small smile before going back to her reading.

Caleb did not notice her smile as he looked back to the page and continued reading. He flipped the page slowly and kept silent.

Monoé got up very quickly, to see Moé.
When she came back, she had a plate of homebaked chocolate-ship cookies in one hand, and a glass off milk in the other.
She lightly nudged Caleb, gesturing for him to take one.

Caleb took one cookie with pale slender hand. He brought the cookie towards the mask, as it went though and he ate the foodstuff quite quickly.

Monoé sat on the ground, and placed the plate next to her. She ate with one hand, and turned the pages with the other, making sure to not cause any harm to the books.

Caleb placed the book onto the floor, finished with it. He walked over to the wall on the farthest part of the room. A large book case that reached the ceiling was on it. He began to finger though the books.

Monoé hobbled over, and, with her clean finger, pointed to the next book in the series the finished book was a part of.
She went back to her plate of cookies, and read more about llamas and their impact on Incan families.

Caleb looked at her as she pointed towards one of the books on the shelf. He took the book out and dropped it onto the ground. He went back to searching though the plethora of books.

Monoé pointed to several other books in the same series.
"I organize books in my house," she explained.
Monoé cleaned off her dirty hand, and then took out all of the books she had pointed out.
She returned to her book, now looking at chickens.

Caleb took out a fading scarlet book. Its silver writing shown brightly. Reading: Components to Every Cure. He took the tome back to his chair, seating himself and opening the tome to the first page.

Monoé had fallen asleep, the book laying open on her stomach.
"Hnnnn..."
With her eyes closed, she eerily resembled something out of Pleasantville or one of those old '50s TV shows.

Caleb continued to read the tome, not noticing her sleeping. He occasionally turned the page.

There was a screech, and Monoé jolted up, as if on reflex.
"Not him...!"
Moé entered the room, shaken.
"Th...There was a thief..."
Monoé sighed.
"I knew it."
Monoé turned to Caleb.
"Recently, there's been this thief guy who's been harassing our family. Leaves behind calling cards. Really weird."

Caleb sprung to his feet. "...Is the culprit still in the house?" He asked.
