"Can you keep it down? Some of us are trying to study!" a strained voice from the table on the other side of the room said. The small, blue teensie didn't look up from the book he was reading, but the annoyance in his face was clear.

It was hard enough finding a some place with enough space for all the research Ales planned to do, but being surrounded by inconsiderate roommates drained away his typical cheery demeanor. Even worse, there were no chairs in this house tall enough for him, and he had to sit on the table, surrounded by books and his notes instead of working at a desk like he should.

Mimi hopped onto the table next to Ales, careful not to step on the notes scattered in front of her, and gave him a back on his back. "Shh, calm down, kupo." She picked up several sheets of paper and stacked them in the order they were written. That would cheer him up.

And it does help. Ales was at least thankful for having such a helpful Moogle following around, taking him immediately to the library and answering his questions surprisingly well.

"Thanks. Say, can you put those notes away in my trunk? I'll review them tomorrow." He spoke in a quiet, almost whisper-like voice. At least it might show Balarai what kind of volume to use in the study room.
