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.]

"Twenty years ago, give or take," Lee said. "Sunday was my day."

The pieces were slowly being put together. He knew her. He was a library aide from '20 years ago' when the school, to her knowledge, wasn't here. Sunday was his day and he was here on a Sunday when... "Lee?"

"Good memory," he said brightly. "Commander Lee Adama now but yeah, Lee's good since we're here and all."

"Commander? Congratulations." She only knew a little about his background, but the Commander was a surprise. It made sense given the twenty years he claimed. "What brings you back here?" She assumed it was 'back' even though she hadn't realised he'd left.

"Reunion," he answered. "Twenty year reunion. And I had some free time so I thought I'd come by and check out the library while I was here."

Reunion. Maybe there were others here too, if that was the case. Thursday went from being slightly befuddled and wondering whether she should inform someone to being amused that, despite the last week, Fandom had bounced back to its usual insane self. Well, almost. She thought it best to play along as it often was. "If you can remember your way around, you're welcome to it. I'll be sure to have a word to my aide about showing up when he's suppose to when I next see him." If she saw him as a teenager again. "I'd love to stay and chat, but I'd best be getting back to Friday."

"Okay," Lee said and waved with the book he was holding. "Good to see you again, Professor. You look...well, nice."

Thursday blinked, surprised by the commented. "Thank you," she replied with a little less grace than usual. "You've grown up well, Lee. Commander," she corrected.

"Thanks," Lee said and preened a little. He was allowed. "I'll keep the library safe, I promise. And call if something happens."

"I have no doubt. Take care." She fled went to her office to retrieve what she'd come here for, then left shaking her head.
