Zjarr had no qualms with reading and could even consider it a pleasant escape from time to time, but the concept of astrology was not one he had a particular interest in. Especially the star signs. He had some respect for the Ascendants' culture and traditions, hence his staying for such an extended period of time, but aside from the lifestyle of the Clan he didn't find learning about the stars and alignments and shit all too fun to study and research. Moonmade probably pulled the task from his ass, though he could somewhat sympathize with the guy, since it seemed like just about every resident of the territory pleaded for something to do. At that point all you could do was spew the first thing that came to mind.
But a weekly task was a weekly task, and rarely did he ever skip out on his designated duty. For now he'd suck it up.
The demon would admit that sifting through the quiet halls of the Observatory was soothing in a way, surrounded by the wistful feel of all of the books he had discovered along the way and compiled into one location, untapped knowledge and entertainment that he could easily access with a flip of the page. It was strange, for he could not consider himself a bookworm, not now and not ever before. It was only now that such a feeling arose within him in such a setting, and yet he found it tiring to exit the room by the time he collected what he needed. Perhaps it was the work of Flamey, slowly leaking such behavior into the rowdy and blunt Zjarr, who found more solace in the forge than in some room full of books. He could not hear Flamey, but he could just feel him, if not only barely. He was here. And maybe he was watching every move he made. Cut it out, asshole.
The magic was worn out by the time he regained his composure, resolving the books as just part of his task and nothing more. The cyborg canine pushed onward to the main corridors and set himself down with a few of those horoscope astrology books, his metal claws clicking on the hardcovers rhythmically. "A'ight, y'all, come 'ere if y'wanna know some shit about ya star sign," the demon drawled as he rolled his broad shoulders.
