Rikku's eyes lit up. "I want to find these books! The, uh," she consulted the sheet, "Short History of Machine Tools and Studies in the History of Machine Tools and An Introduction to the History of Structural Mechanics. And A History of Technology. Oh! And A History of Mechanical Engineering. And similar books, I mean, they don't have to be about the history of it unless they're explaining how people got from one thing to the next, but I guess more about how it all works, and anything mechanical about tools and machina. I mean machines. And how they work and how to teach people how they work."
She took a breath and smiled, nervously. "But it's not exactly for class. I mean, I got this in class," she gestures to the handout, "but this is for me, not for something I need for class. I just need to know all of this. Is ... is that still okay?"
OOC: Sorry about the heading tags getting screwed up. I started to reply in the wrong place, then fixed it, and LJ didn't update that field, apparently.
"Of course!" Yomiko assured her. "You can check out books for any reason at all. Unless it's to deface or burn them or something. Okay, that's quite a list." She pulled up the catalog on her computer and said, "Let's get started."
Rikku shuddered when the librarian mentioned burning the books. "People would really do that?! That's terrible!" Considering Yevon, she thought, she couldn't be all that surprised.
"If that's too many, then I can just take a few for now. I mean, I'm gonna be here a while, I've got time, right?"
She was bouncing to herself in a restrained, quiet, library-appropriate sort of way, but she was definitely still bouncing.
"No, that's fine," Yomiko assured her as she noted down call numbers on a post-it. "But you'll have to bring them back and check them back out if you're not done with them all in two weeks." She smiled. It was nice to see someone so enthusiastic about books, even engineering books.
