Library [Sunday, 11-11-07]

Lee was back in the library, busying himself with spinning in his chair and trying not to get dizzy. He was totally on time.

Totally on time.

"It's a secret laboratory," Adah decided firmly after a moment. Adah read a lot of sci fi. Too much, perhaps, but, all things considered, that was probably a good thing. "If I answered that, I would potentially run the risk of putting you in danger for knowing too much."

"But, if you bring me there, I'm going to know anyway," he said, laughing again. "If I knew beforehand, I could prepare myself for any danger that might be coming."

"Didn't say anything," Adah shifted her head a little to grin back at him, "about bringing you there. I have enough quantitative data to research filed away up here." Briefly, she tapped her forehead. "And, even if not, I wouldn't need you there. Just your arms."

"So, you'd just leave me without my arms?" Lee asked. "I'm better as a complete package."

Oh, and she certainly had no doubt about that one. Letting out a light laugh, though, Adah still shook her head. "Just the arms," she confirmed. "We need a constant; the rest of you might interfere with data."

"That's so sad to hear," he said, making his voice sad. "And I know so many things that might help you decide if you liked that Lee guy better."

"But we aren't determining that," Adah pointed out. "Only who has better arms."

"So, if you had to decide without further research, who has better arms?" Lee asked, grinning again. "Me or that other guy?"

"Well," Adah said after a moment of tilting her head thoughtfully, "the smart decision would be to say you, because you're here and he isn't."

"Exactly," Lee said, nodding. "I'm here and my arms aren't that bad. And I'd argue with this guy if he ever did show up. My arms are better."

"That," Adah said, a little wide eyes and with a laughing smile, "is an argument I would love to see."

He tightened the arm around slightly, very gently, and said, "But who would you root for? If we were both in the same room, all those arms."

"Myself," Adah responded with a light nod, leaning back against the Eel a little more. "As I'd clearly be the winner in that situation."

He laughed quietly and said, "I think you'd be right. I still think my arms are better. And so are my eyes."

"And the devastating smile?" Adah asked. "Does he get that one?"

"No, I think I want that one too," he decided, nodding. "I'm kind of selfish. I want the lazy days again too."

Shaking her head ruefully under the weight of his sheer selfishness, Adah had to ask, "And anything else?"

"No, I think I'm good," he said, nodding again. "Is there anything else I should argue for?"
