"What if I use them but in a ... not so chaotic way? I'm not sure what that could be but I'm sure you probably do." Nyx asked. If anything, he loved his illusions. No, he would never use them for good purposes. Well... maybe in a certain situation but nothing else.

"Sounds good to me." Nyx nodded. It was a good idea, trying to find out some more about the book. "Do you guys have archives here? Maybe one of the archive keepers could help out, or.. something. We could just go home and see if anything is missing from the book, if letters are faded.. stuff like that?"

What he meant was libraries and librarians but none of that was what they called their own in his world, and the libraries were heavily guarded in his world due to Seelie trying to steal his information.

"I'd break free. I've done it before." Nyx grinned. "I already used it on you.. and I'm not dead yet. I take this as a good sign."

"Much more fun to say Archives and Archive Keepers." Nyx pouted. Everything in his own world, usually, sounded so much more fun than what they had here. The word library seemed so easy to trip over and making it plural was only worse.

Nyxeris tried to understand everything she told him but honestly, some things were just way too weird to make sense. He did really enjoy the concept of water fountains though. He was a little shocked when she grabbed his hand, that wasn't a normal thing to do when in the company of the King, but as he was told a million times here; he wasn't a king. He couldn't complain.

He was sat down at a table after watching Sabrina pick out a bunch of books. He was set to work reading a ton of them, and although he read quite quickly.. they were not the kind of books he enjoyed.

"Why would.." and "How dumb is this guy?" could be heard every so often from his accidental muttering. He was a little annoyed with the characters being all love struck with each other and not focusing on the main issue. He looked over at Sabrina after a long time that felt like years had passed.

"Find anything useful there?"

"No, not.. not really." Nyx glared at the book in front of him, still angered by the characters. He set the book down in front of him and moved it to a pile of books he mentally labeled as unhelpful and useless. He looked at Sabrina in question when she said she enjoyed romance books, what the fuck. Who could enjoy such lunacy between characters? There was basically no plot to many of them, just the main characters being foolish. They could've made the story just one page with the words: They fell in love. Followed by 'The End'.

"Ah.. well.. there's not a lot to me." Nyx shrugged. It might be because he was written with not much to him but he really didn't have much about him. He had to think pretty hard about what things a human may find.. interesting.

"I think you already know my hatred for the Seelie, so that's nothing new.." Nyx leaned back in his chair to get more comfortable while he thought. "Really all my life was based around that. Annalise was the biggest factor in it. You already know about my favourite foods, even in my own book. Pretty much all I ate."

Nyx sighed. "There's really nothing about me that I can tell you except for what you've already read, I'm afraid."

He couldn't think of anything that wasn't already written in the books, even small things. His favourite colour was kind of a given, black. His favourite weather was already written into the book, he loved rain and often changed the weather. He thought long and hard but nothing popped up. The only things new he could think of were all from the human world and Sabrina explained them to him. She'd know his thoughts on those already due to his aggressive amounts of questions and obvious expressions on his face when he found out what they were and what they did.

Nyx nodded. They'd have to find something for him to have hobbies for, even just one. Everything in his book was thrilling but it left him without anything. No fun memories, no siblings to annoy him, not even open fields for anything more than sparring or training for war.

Nyxeris watched her put everything away, almost wanting to keep one of the books but then again.. it was all romance he had been forced to read today. Except for that one book that had a little piece of Annalise's backstory. It was left on a cliff hanger, sort of. It had a few words blurred by what seemed to be water? The words that got blurred were her motivation for antagonizing Nyx all this time and he would've loved to read it but now he couldn't.

"Oh?" Nyx looked down at Sabrina for a second. "They aren't boring, they're just dumb. They have so much potential plot to them yet they ignore the perfectly good fight scenes just to maybe kiss at the end of the book."

Nyx enjoyed the walk back home. He did pester Sabrina a bit while they passed the first store he had stolen from, the one he got the chicken sandwich from a few days ago. He was smiling wide when someone crossed his path. They disappeared behind a nearby building and Nyx didn't want to make a scene of it for the sake of Sabrina not throwing a brick at his face but.. was it just him or did it look like Mira?

Mira was from the book he was in as well, she was a halfbreed. Mira was written to be part of the Unseelie kingdom up until about the middle. She switched sides and betrayed him, becoming a Seelie member. It was one of the painful spots in the book for him. Felt like getting a tiny sword stabbed into his heart but it didn't matter, he would've crushed her after winning the war. Crimes against him would be punishable by worse than death but oh well. That never happened.

Still.. it looked oddly like her. Nyx couldn't stop but wonder about it the rest of the way home. "Well, since those books didn't help much.. what else should we do in our free time? We have the entire day."

Nyxeris took his boots off and put them up against the wall so Sabrina wouldn't trip over them if she went that way and wasn't careful. Wasn't much chance of that but she had taught him that it was 'polite' so he did it anyways. Nyx nodded, following Sabrina upstairs and into her room.

"Alright..." Nyx murmured, moving over to the corner and looking through the options. He looked confused the entire time he was doing so but in the end he did end up picking a canvas that was a slight bit smaller than Sabrina's but otherwise basically a perfect copy.

"What.. what do you mean?" Nyxeris asked. Paint? She really meant he had to learn how to splatter colours all over himself and hope it got on to the canvas? That isn't exactly what happens but from what he saw, painters ended up with more paint on themselves than they got on their canvases.

He took a seat almost next to Sabrina, a little bit further away because he was sitting in front of his own canvas but he did plan on leaning over and watching what she did. That's how he learned things, by watching and waiting and trying it himself later on. It didn't work always but it worked the majority of the time so he never changed.

"Watch me fuck up somehow.." Nyx sighed. He wasn't very confident in himself at the moment, but he would try. He had no clue what he was doing and would just have to hope and pray. Art was for everyone, huh? He'd find a way to fuck up and fail somehow. Even if you didn't think it was possible..

Nyx grabbed a paintbrush of a random size and looked through each of the colours. He chose black to start off with. He painted the canvas black, making sure the layer dried before applying another layer and repeated this action until the black looked dark and was dry enough for him to speckle some white onto the top for stars. That's how he begun, painting his favourite spot in his kingdom just on top of the mountains but of course, Sabrina wouldn't be able to tell until he began painting the view from where he looked down on his kingdom.

If she could even tell.. it was just a landscape so there wasn't a huge chance he could fuck up that badly. There was still a small chance.. all he did was stars. And second guessed every move he made. He had thrown many confused and critical expressions at his painting throughout the process.
