Jikken had decided she had enough talking for a while, and ran over to Levy with new found excitement. In the corner of her eye she noticed Gajeel and Master Makorav go upstairs. She ignored the movement and hopped onto the bluenette's lap. She then proceeded to play with her hair as she began to read. "You've got pretty hair Ms. Levy" The bluenette giggled, "Well thank you Jikken." The little hybrid nodded and continued her exploration of hair. There was a long silence, but it was far from uncomfortable. Soon the two were approached by the other female mages in the guild.

"Aww~ You two look like a mother and daughter!" Lucy fawned.

Mira nodded in agreement, "yes, Gajeel is lucky to have two such cute girls in his life."

Jikken stared at the two in a confused manner. "What do you mean? Did Kurogane win something?" Juvia chuckled at the child's innocence. "Somewhat" Jikken scrunched up her brow. "I don't get it Ms. Levy, do you?" Said woman blushed a deep shade of pink. "It's nothing Jikken, just grown up stuff" the purple haired girl accepted the answer, and cuddled up to her. Levy, in turn, began to unconsciously stroke her hair. The other female mages began to fawn over the two again. The bluenette ignored them and turned her attention back on Jikken, "so Jikken why are you wearing that baggy shirt?" she asked. "Kurogane gave it to me cause my other clothes were all torn and stuff" the girl suddenly scrunched up his face. "And he made me take a this thing called a bath...I didn't like it" Levy giggled, "Well I'm sorry to hear that, but baths can be fun you know?" Jikken seemed thoughtful about Levy's words, but quickly shook her head. She then turned her attention to the book in her hand and sniffed it. "Ms. Levy, what are you holding?" she asked, completely intrigued with the thick object. "You don't know what a book is Jikken?" The little cat looked up at the bluenette and saw complete horror on her face. "are books important?" "Of course! Books are knowledge, they're our gateways into another world!" Levy explained.

Jikken looked up at the bluenette with dazzled eyes. "That sounds cool!" she started, "Can I read a book?" Levy giggled at her excitement, "of course, as long as you can read." The little girls face fell and tears pricked her eyes, "B-B-But I can't read!" she wailed clinging to Levy's shirt. Said mage held the girl close, "Don't worry Jikken-chan, for now I can just read to you" she looked up hopefully. "Really?" "Really." Jikken's face lit up in excitement as she began to make herself comfortable in Levy's lap. "I don't think you're ready for these kinds of books yet, how about we go to the library for one more...your level?" The kitten was confused at first, but she merely trusted the woman's words and took her hand. "OK, if you say so Ms. Levy" said mage smiled and scooped the girl into her arms as they headed towards the guild library. Behind them the interaction had caught the attention of most of the guild as they cooed over them.

Once Levy led Jikken into the library, the little girl was floured to say the least. She marveled at the sheer size of the room, not to mention the shelf's on shelf's of books. A sudden wave of excitement rushed over her as Levy searched for a book for them to read. Jikken joined in the search as well, running all around the library getting a feel for the room. Suddenly a bright yellow book caught the attention of the hybrid. She snatched it up and rushed back over to Levy, "Ms. Levy! Can you read me this one?" Said bluenette peeked down at the book Jikken had chosen, "Beauty and the Beast." "Alright Jikken let's get reading!" the child jumped in joy, "Yea!"
