Script:
You: (Ask about the locked-up book.)
Caleri: Oh, that? It's nothing, keep your hands off it!
You: 
That makes me want to touch it more.
Caleri: Curiosity killed the palcat, {playername}. It doesn't do to go sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.
Caleri: ...
Caleri: Well. I suppose you have been a trustworthy enough friend to bear this knowledge with me.
Caleri: Locked inside that case is the last in a series of books chronicling the Fall of Humanity.
Caleri: And before you get excited, let me assure you that it is a fictional series, based solely upon a dream the author had while camping in some ruins.
Caleri: Elouisa hasn't stopped talking about them since she read the first one. Every night at dinner, it is the same thing.
Caleri: I find it quite poorly written, personally. Mudeel's characterization is hazy at best, and his relationship with Sadun lacks both spice and depth.
You: So why do you have it?
Caleri: I have confiscated it from Elouisa. If I have to sit through one more dinner listening to her obsess over this book, I will lose what little sense remains after so many nights.
You: 
What if you make her promise not to talk about it?
Caleri: I tried that already. She lasted thirty minutes.
Caleri: ...I suppose that it would not hurt to give her one more chance.
Caleri: Perhaps she just needs someone else to talk about this series with.
Caleri: Someone like you.
Caleri: Fine. Take the book and deliver it to her if you will. At the very least, perhaps the new volume will distract her for a few days until she finishes it.
You: 
Has confiscating it worked?
Caleri: ...No. No it has not.
Caleri: ...I suppose that it would not hurt to give her one more chance.

Caleri: Someone like you.
Caleri: Fine. Take the book and deliver it to her if you will. At the very least, perhaps the new volume will distract her for a few days until she finishes it.
You: 
That seems kinda unfair.
Caleri: As I'm sure you are aware, and as my father so often loved to say, life is rarely fair.

Caleri: Fine. Take the book and deliver it to her if you will. At the very least, perhaps the new volume will distract her for a few days until she finishes it.
You: Not every book needs to be a masterpiece.
Caleri: I have no problem with Elouisa reading this slop. I just don't want to hear about it anymore.
Caleri: ...I suppose that it would not hurt to give her one more chance.

You: If you say so...
Caleri: I do, in fact, say so.
Caleri: ...
