Library: Friday [14.09]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal had come prepared this week, where prepared meant more tea and slightly fewer books. Once the library was set up, he opened the doors and settled behind the desk, writing diligently in his notebook.

:You look busy.: Altra strolled in and leapt onto the desk, making himself comfortable.

Karal stared. "Where have you been!"

:Around,: was all the reply he got as Altra rolled onto his side and went to sleep.

"Wonderful," Karal muttered, and went back to writing.

"What are you... oooo!" Evie bounced, then plopped down on the floor as the virus book went skidding off the pile and to the carpeting. "You clever, clever Altra! I will certainly have to find you a catnip toy the next time I go into Turtle & Canary!"

Evie was much too far gone in book glee to even question what Altra had just done. If she'd thought about it, she might have just assumed that Karal had told Altra not to touch the books, and that Altra, being a cat, had decided to do what had been forbidden or prevented previously. She settled in against the library counter, book in her lap, and continued to pet Altra. When she got to the interesting bits, she read them aloud and showed him the pictures. Especially the ones about coffin dirt, yay!

Not that he'd understand any of it.

Altra sighed but allowed her to pet him. And the book was interesting.

His whiskers twitched in amusement at the fact that she thought he was an ordinary cat, and she was still reading out loud and showing him pictures.

After awhile, his attention wandered and so did he, leaping back up onto the counter.

Evie watched him for a moment, but was then sucked back into the discussion of Queen Hatshepsut's curse (or rather, the microorganisms that reportedly made everyone on the dig ill when they opened her tomb), and left Altra to his own devices.

He was a cat, after all. Karal wouldn't expect her to watch him.
