Library, Monday [4-16]

Yomiko had noticed a certain trend around town on her way to work that morning, so when she got to the library she set to work kidproofing it. Because good Lord, they were everywhere.

"Okay," Yomiko whispered back. "If you need any help with anything, just come and get me, all right?" And then it occurred to her to ask, "Does your mommy or daddy know you're here?"

"Alex is taking care of me," Susie said. Of course Alex had made the misfortune of blinking, which is why his sister had been able to scoot off on her own, but Susie felt that these were mere technical details.

"And who's Alex?" Yomiko asked her.

"My big brother!" Susie said, proudly. She regarded having a big brother in much the same way some people regarded having a Porche, which was to say it was a thing to brag about.
agentthepaper: (Bzuh?)

"Yeah? And where is he?" As she waited for the answer, Yomiko wrote 'Susannah is in here' on a piece of paper and went to stick it to the library door in case any frantic parents came by.

"I don't know," Susie admitted. "I turned around and he was gone. Or maybe invisible."

"Maybe he fell through the floor," Yomiko suggested. "I knew a lady who could do that once."

"Reeeeeeally?" Susie looked riveted. "Was she a witch? My mommy's a witch and she's very nice and not at all like some witches who are very mean and set bad examples."

That last bit might have sounded like rote memory on Susie's part. With good reason.

"No, she wasn't a witch," Yomiko told her. "Her name was Nancy and she was my best friend." For about ten minutes.

"Was she a dog?" Susie asked. "Doggies sometimes dig and then they're in the ground."

"No, she was a lady, like I said," Yomiko told Susannah.

"I'll be a Lady when I grow up," Susie said. "Then I'll have extra pretty dresses."
agentthepaper: (Isn't it dreamy?)

"I bet you will!" Yomiko said cheerily. "Lady of where?"
