Library [7.12.07]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal was slightly subdued as he opened the library. Thursday was still in the clinic, but he was feeling a bit easier about it after last night's visit. Altra was still sleeping, though he'd woken long enough to wolf down several tins of salmon, so he wasn't overly worried.

After setting everything up for the day, he settled behind the desk, methodically processing returns.

"Yeah," Ed said with a wistful smile, looking down at his book. "Just don't give up the fight." He paused for a long beat. "What if it's a fight you can't win?"

He might not have been talking about an actual fight so much here.

"In my experience..." Cable glanced down, then up again. Very steadily. "The fight's only lost when you give up."

Ed grinned at his book. If Cable had a higher voice and called him 'brother' after that, he'd have thought it was Al talking. "Uh huh. Heard that before."

"It does stare you in the face," Cable deadpanned. "But then that's often the case."

"Maybe for you," he mutter.

When you're under five feet, that's a different matter entirely.

"You'd be surprised," Cable replied, dryly.

"Yeah? How so?" he challenged.

He smirked faintly, but Cable's eyes seemed a little weary. "Obvious things, like the mind, have a habit of pulling tricks on you," he said.
