Library [7.12.07]

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.

"A little tired, but otherwise on the mend. I'll be fine," she assured them. She sounded tired. "Thank you all for coming by. I know there are more interesting things to do on a Friday afternoon. Don't forget your medals." The medals were round and looked a lot like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/stargaterpg/fandomhigh/medal.jpg). The metal appeared to be silver, but at a certain angle the surface shined gold. The outside was circled by intricate engravings of pages and words entwined. The inner circle had an open book. On the back was engraved writing in block letters. 'Awarded to [name] in gratitude for outstanding service to the BookWorld in the face of perilous danger.'

Karal moved forward, picking up his and Altra's boxes. He didn't open his, though, just looked at Thursday closely. "Are you sure you're all right to be here?" he asked quietly, leaving the 'and not in the clinic' off the end of the question.

"I'm going back to the house after this and I live with a doctor," she replied.

He nodded, happy there'd be someone to care for her, and opened the box. "Sunlord, these are beautiful!"

"Oh wow," Bridge breathes, opening his own box and studying the medal inside. He reaches out and gently traces over the design with the fingers of one hand. "This is- thank you," he says, referring to both the medal and the potential job offer.
