The Library: Friday [26.10]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal, coffee in hand for the first time in a very long time, opened the library. He was a little distracted, so it took him longer than it usually did.

But finally it was open and he settled behind the desk, sipping at his coffee gratefully. And fidgeting. A lot.

He'd never doubted it; it was why he hadn't wanted to ask. "Thank you. Thank you, Gavin." Karal sagged forward, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off him. "It was Altra's idea, to bring him here, but I don't know when..."

Altra stared at them both, tail lashing and ears flat. :Tomorrow. Tomorrow at dawn. Out in the Preserve.:

"There's your answer," Gavin said and almost laughed. Altra had such timing.

Karal smiled, just a little, but it faded. "I, there is one other thing I have to ask," he said seriously. "Tomorrow, if I ask you to do something...stupid, to harm Tremane, don't listen. No matter the provocation, he needs to return safely to Hardorn."

"I will," he said and nodded. "It'll take a lot to get me to do something to him so don't worry. You won't reach that point."

Right now, he wasn't sure he trusted himself, but he did trust Gavin. It was enough to make him smile properly. "Thank you," he said again. "I think I'll be saying that to you a lot."

Altra still didn't look pleased, but he'd settled down to a low pitched grumbling.

"What are you doing tonight?" Gavin asked suddenly.

Karal blinked and answered honestly. "Sitting in my room and worrying, I'd imagine."

"No, you're not," Gavin said. "We're going to Jim's party."

Re: First period [26.10] - NFB PLEASE

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"We are?" He blinked again, not arguing. "Jim is having a party?"

"Birthday," he said quietly. "Surprise though. We should go support our fellow gremlin bite victim, after all."

It did sound better than sitting in his room. "You're absolutely correct, we should," he decided. "So we'll go. Just no coloured drinks, please."

"And no gremlins," Gavin added.

Re: First period [26.10] - NFB PLEASE

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"And no singing." He frowned. "Unless we should? It is his birthday."

Re: First period [26.10] - NFB PLEASE

"If we sing, it'll be quietly so everyone drowns us out," Gavin decided.

Re: First period [26.10] - NFB PLEASE

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

He nodded in agreement. "We can pretend to sing. No one will notice if we aren't actually making noise."

Re: First period [26.10] - NFB PLEASE

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Gavin said and grinned.

Karal rubbed his forehead again, then let everything go, at least for now, and grinned back, bumping his shoulder against Gavin's. "I think this will actually be fun."
