Draiban Vokelda, Ivan Embrake, Nopor Puss- this one had a drawing of a paper-mache giraffe on the cover- she paid the names little mind. Rather, what caught her attention was a book that seemed significantly larger than the others. When she pulled it off the shelf, it seemed more colorful too.
It was a children's book, a collection of childish stories. Someone had considered this a biography? She was about to open it, when a white gloved hand yanked it from her grasp.
"Sorry, it'd be better for you if you didn't read that." Drake casually said, eyeing the book himself.
"Better for you you mean?"
"More or less. But it's better for you if things go well for me. Besides, aren't you too old for things like this?"
"I've been somewhat morally challenged ever since my transformation. I could use a refresher on right and wrong."
Drake giggled slightly, before jumping up to the top of a shelf, and running off with the book.
