I don't know if they're to your taste, but you mentioned how you don't have a lot of time for reading, and these are really short. They evoke a lot of beautiful imagery, too.
[ oh... they look surprised by this offer, reaching out to take the book?

... Thank you, Estelle. [ weh. ] What a thoughtful present. I'll let you know which ones I like the best, and maybe we can exchange some. Sound good?
[ they soften a bit - and then, with sort of a playfulness to their tone: ] Let's keep it our secret, yeah? I don't need everybody knowing I'm a sensitive bird.

And - [ more importantly ] yeah, you can definitely borrow the books. That's the point of it, right? Take as many as you want, just bring em back.
