"Your approach to that is quite refreshing. Thank you again, I will treasure this gift." He tucks the book close to his chest again, suddenly feeling a bit awkward at all the hospitality. He pauses and then adds;

"I will be sure to give you a thorough review upon completion." Remembering how Angeal spoke of how much Genesis loved to expound upon the play, he suspects that might be an enticing prospect.

If the way Genesis' eyes brighten is anything to go by, it certainly is. He suddenly has a new, interested audience to engage, and it delights him to no end.

"Please do. I'd love nothing more than to hear your thoughts on it. If you find it to your liking, there's no lack of other forms its been adapted to as well. Plays, musicals, movies, there was even a mini-series on it once."

Byleth's eyebrows raise just a fraction.

He knows most pf those things, but one thing gives him pause, and he does feel a bit foolish for asking but-

"What's a mini-series? Is it like... like a show but done very small?"

[rhapscdos]

"Done very small..." Genesis repeats the words, like he's trying to make sure he heard that right. Yeah, that's about it. Okay, so it's an honest question, and he shouldn't laugh, but it does get him snickering behind his hand.

"Not quite," he says after a moment, "it's a term used for shows that are planned for a limited amount of episodes. As in, it has a very distinct beginning, middle and end, without openings for extra seasons or sequels. It works well for adapting finished works like plays and books. They're enjoyable, and usually less of a commitment than an ongoing series."

He struggles with the whole concept of episodes, seasons and things like that, though with what he knows of the modern world as Rosie and others had taught him, he manages to grasp it enough to make sense of what Genesis says.

"I see... fascinating. I wish I could see all of these things- but for now I suppose I ought to start with reading it."
