Library [Sunday, 11-18]

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

There was someone unfamiliar in the library today, making himself familiar with books he'd long thought forgotten. It was still quiet, still had that same old feeling and those same old feelings.

He missed this library.

[Yes, there was a post earlier but I couldn't resist aging him up.]

"I suppose." She smiled sadly. "Seen Adah here?"

"Uh, no," he said and shook his head. "I...wow. No, I haven't."

Re: Morning

"Me neither." She fell silent for a moment. "I shouldn't distract you from your chair spinning."

"You're not," Lee said, shaking his head. "Have you kept in contact with her?"

Re: Morning

"Should have," River replied quietly, staring down at the floor. "Didn't."

Re: Morning

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, me either," he said, rolling his neck to work out the sudden tension. "Things got bad at home."

Re: Morning

"Same here. Took all my attention. Didn't deserve it." She glanced around the room that looked exactly like she remembered it.

"Sorry to hear that," Lee said, smiling sadly. "Sounds like a story to have over several glasses of ambrosia."

Re: Morning

River chuckled. "Tell you mine of you tell me yours. Ambrosia?"

Re: Morning

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Alcohol," he clarified. "And I've got a lot. Like a grab bag of stories."

Re: Morning

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Drinks and stories. Good combination." She still couldn't take alcohol very well, but she had learnt to hide it. "Sounds like a plan."

Re: Morning

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Good," he said, smiling again. "Good. I haven't gotten good and drunk in awhile. Probably about time I did."

Re: Morning

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River let out a laugh. "Neither have I, so yes, about time. I'd be surprised if they served ambrosia though."

Re: Morning

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"That's why I brought some with me," he said and grinned slyly. "Just because of that."

Re: Morning

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Ah." She grinned. "And sharing it makes it taste better, I assume."

Re: Morning

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Yep," he said, nodding. "And it's better than the beer here."

Re: Morning

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"So when?" she asked. "And where?"

Re: Morning

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Not here," he said and laughed. "There's a bar around here somewhere. Or, just come by my old room tomorrow."

Re: Morning

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Bars usually make their money by selling drinks, not by people bringing their own." She smiled. "I'll stop by tomorrow."

Re: Morning

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Point," he said, nodding. "I'll be there. Third floor."

Re: Morning

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Will see you tomorrow then." She smiled, backed away a few steps, then turned and left the library.
