Library: Late Thursday Night

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal didn't think of it as keeping the library open late. He thought of it as opening it early for tomorrow.

Either way, he wasn't leaving.

The tables were littered with a bizarre combination of the magic and the absolutely mundane. Texts on spells and magic mixed with old records, minutes of town meetings, planning permits, building codes, sewerage and water maps, all the boring minutiae that held the history of a town.

There was also coffee and strong, black tea, to keep tired minds and bodies awake and alert.

Ed looked up and started laughing. "I don't know. Some people could get sick if they looked at too much pink." He threw the last report he look at away from him. "That tall guy wanted anomalies. There's nothing BUT anomalies in these."

"The island itself is an anomaly," Karal replied. "Ummm, you don't by any chance know his name, do you? The tall man?"

Ed shook his head. "No idea. He had some weird automail though."

"He seemed very certain, though." Karal at that point may have been trying to convince himself. "That this was the path to follow."

"Seemed as good an answer as any," Ed said, scrubbing his hand through his hair.

It was better than nothing and Karal nodded. "Okay, okay, yes, you're right. And he was very certain," he added almost to himself. "But I think I can safely leave the colour books aside." And he pushed them away, pulling another book closer.
