Figuring that the silence meant whomever it was didn't need immediate assistance, Anemone finished her lecture and scooped up the last of the offending literature tomes, planning on carrying them back to their proper location.
She peered down each aisle as she walked, keeping an eye out for any stray books or ostriches, and stopped when she saw the other girl. "Hi. Sorry I yelled, thought you were someone else."
Adah had just finished deciding that she didn't like the backwards version of an author's name enough to choose his book when the library aid stopped and spotted her in the aisle. She leaned in as she pushed the book back in place with two fingers on her left hand, trailing their tips along the marked letters on the spine, and then drew back, not straightening, but getting as close as she could, and tucked the hair behind her ear as she turned her head to glance toward the other girl's direction. There was a slight pause, a wince almost, at the brightness of her hair, but it was followed by a shrug to suggest that she didn't mind.
Quiet, wasn't she? Unsure how to react, Anemone shrugged in response, smiling crookedly at the other girl. "Anything in particular you want, or just browsing?"
Adah tilted her head a little with her eyes resting lazily on the other girl, and she tapped her fingers on the row of Taoism books in front of her. Already found what she was looking for, just had to narrow it down...
"Oh." Anemone studied the shelf thoughtfully before tapping a few titles thoughtfully. "I liked (http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Golden-Flower-Thomas-Cleary/dp/0062501933/ref=cm_lmf_tit_3/002-6783428-6905623") these (http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Taoist-Immortals-Eva-Wong/dp/1570628092/ref=sr_1_1/002-6783428-6905623?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193165848&sr=1-1") ones (http://www.amazon.com/Tao-Ching-25th-Anniversary-Lao-Tsu/dp/0679776192/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-6783428-6905623?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193164804&sr=8-1") here (http://www.amazon.com/Tao-Pooh-Wisdom/dp/1405204265/ref=pd_bbs_sr_10/002-6783428-6905623?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193164804&sr=8-10").

[getting no notices, thwap me if I don't respond promptly. :)]
Adah's eyes, expression slightly hardened, stayed sharply on the other girl instead of paying any attention to the books she'd pointed out. Adah didn't remember asking for help, so she wasn't exactly keen on receiving it.
Anemone wasn't unaware of the other girl's scrutiny, and stiffened slightly. Fine. She was just trying to be nice. Dominic's needling about her lack of friends had hurt more than she let on.
"Have fun, then." she said coolly, re-adjusting her armload of books. "You know where to find me, hai?" She didn't want for a response before returning Adah's 'Look'. "Jaa." Stupid humans.
