Library - 5/22

Some progress had been made getting the library back in order. Isabel would add to it once she finished her coffee.

For now the library was open. On time.

Altra arrived first, bounding up the stairs and into the library, followed shortly by Karal. "Altra, must you have such energy?" he called, perhaps slightly tired after their early morning start.

He stopped and stared when he saw the books were moving with no one touching them. "Isabel?"

Altra trotted over to sit in front of Isabel, looking at her expectantly, head cocked to one side.

"That is Altra," he said absently. "Isabel, are you a Jedi?"

Karal nodded in understanding and resumed walking over while Altra stared at him. :Tell her to scratch me. If she's not using her hands to move books, she might as well do something useful with them.:

Don't be rude. "I believe Altra would not object were you to scratch him behind the ears," he said. "I asked as I met a Jedi, and she explained the ability to levitate was part of that."

"Altra is a friend." He watched, bemused, as Altra purred and pushed against her hand, doing entirely too credible an impression of someones's pet. "Do you mind him being in the library?"

"Jaina, yes. She explained some of what the Jedi do," he said as he carefully took a seat on the floor, outside of the books surrounding her. "I've no clue what genetics are, but an ability such as yours sounds similar to what the people of Valdemar refer to as a Gift. Power and ability which come solely from the mind."

Altra pulled away from her fingers and looked deeply offended. :I am not a cat.:

Karal rolled his eyes slightly, and thought as clearly as he could, You're pretending to be, and you're very good at it. "That is a generous offer, but I think they would be wasted on Altra. Thank you, though," he said, giving her a quick smile which faded. "I don't understand how you could be created. Are you not a person?"

Altra grumbled, but settled himself on the floor in front of her, forcing Karal to hide a smile. "If you wish to tell me, I would be pleased to listen, and I doubt very much if I will be bored."

Karal nodded, listening attentively. "I know about people who wish to make such changes." Though when the changes were decreed by Vkandis Himself, there was little chance of such violence. "That is a great tragedy, Isabel."

"She created you? And - you said 'we' - others like you?" he asked, disturbed by that, even though most of what she was saying was beyond his understanding. His knowledge of people being created to serves the ends of others involved nothing good. "And you are to be sent to try and free the planet, whether you wish it or not?"

"You did not ask to be created," he said slowly, disturbed but concealing it behind a calm face. "I do not see how they have the right to force you into a life you do not wish." And he was struck by the irony of saying such when the Church of the Sunlord had, before Solaris's ascendancy, taken children for a life in the church, whether they wanted it or not.

"Which is to your great credit," he said quickly. "I'm sorry, I did not intend to sound as I were criticising, but it sounded as if you were to be forced to fight, and that did not sit well. Growing up without that knowledge, without guardians, must have been very confusing."

"I do know, yes. Very well." He watched the books for a bit. "It's good that you found people who would love and care for you, and for your brother."
