"This book doesn't even make sense." He pushed it out of his lap, and into the lap of Karane who had been sitting across from him on the bed while they studied together. Or, more accurately, while she studied and he complained. "I don't even understand it… and it's written so stupidly! I barely pass regular language courses!"
Her bright eyes looked up from the pages at him and she sighed. "Okay, well just… think about it differently."
Pipit was less than enthused. "Like how?"
"Pretend it's… our birds. Hatchet and Jay."
He smirked at her. "Alright… Jay is the princess and Hatchet is her jester. I can do that."
She snickered and went on. "So the book is basically saying that Hatchet and Jay both had twins, but they were separated at birth… and then they went on a trip and met their twins!" She continued with a grin. "Then like, the other Hatchet and Jay came here and pretended to be the real ones… and did all this silly stuff. Like maybe the other Hatchet was smart, and hell if I could handle a /smart/ Hatchet…"
Pipit shook his head and rubbed his eyes. "Okay… but what's the point..?"
"There is no point." She shrugged. "It's a comedy… it's funny."
"I don't think it's funny."
"You're not a funny person then." She teased.
"…..But if I wrote in rhyme and made up imaginary loftwings I would be funny?"
"No, idiot, the story isn't about loftwings. It's about people."
"That's even less funny."
"You're less funny." She argued.
"Which means I am a little funny!"
"…"
"…"
"…"
Pipit laughed and closed the book in her lap, instead opting to lean forward and kiss her forehead. "This book is stupid."
