[ Today in the Emiya estate it's apparently time to clean up the storage room, hence the reason why after digging quite a bit that she finds a rather strange book, enough that she can't help but glance at Shirou, holding it up. ]

Hey, Shirou-- you don't happen to know what this is, do you?

[ With the household feeling rather empty this weekend while everyone else left for a club event, it gives him plenty of time to do some revamping of the place. He keeps the estate rather prim and proper to begin with, but there was still plenty of time to tidy some things that were normally out of sight. When Saber and the others came back, he wanted to surprise them anyways.

The storage room would have likely been an entire weekend-long affair if he tackled it along. While the redhead didn't mind the challenge, having two people working on it made things that much easier. It's just logic! ...even if his attempts to deflect the help, not wanting to bother Inaba, fell on deaf ears rather easily.

She knew him too damn well. Enough so that she made herself at home and didn't give him much of a choice in the matter. But rather than complain, he couldn't help but watch her go ahead of him with a faux defeated smile. Honestly... ]

Eh?

[ When she pulls out a rather sizable tome, his eyes widen a little bit before blinking in confusion. ]

No... Rider has a collection. Maybe one of hers got mixed up in here? [ Immediately as he says those words, he's almost just as quick to deject them with a shake of his head. No. That didn't make any sense. Why would Rider be reading in the storage room? It wasn't one of her spots at all.

What a dubious book. ]

Hey, Inaba. Lemme see it.

[ Of course she wouldn't allow him to do the clean up on his own. The fact that he was trying to do all of this on his own and while Inaba herself wasn't exactly the type of person that would just throw away all her duties to help out...

She did like Shirou quite a bit.

(Not that she'd tell him that.)

Not to mention that if he was going to do this all on his own, he'd be carrying all the burdens and she decided that it was stupid. And she wasn't going to take no for an answer, especially since four hands are better than two. ]

She collects these kinds of books? What is she, a witch?

[ No, Inaba, that's Caster... nevertheless, the book does look oddly suspect in her hands before she opts to hand it over. ]

Here. But hand it over after, I kind of want to inspect it a little more.
