Library [01/02]

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

If it looked like Thursday's office was being packed up, it was because Thursday was doing just that. The coffee-maker was working hard. The librarian was in and out between the office, the main library and Special Collections, making notes for the next librarian. There was a lot more to it than explaining the filing system.

Karal broke into a smile and moved to rest his hand on her shoulder. "May the Sunlord grant you clear sight and the wisdom to choose well. He is a light in the darkness, a fire to warm you, and a flame to hold between you and those who would harm you and yours, until you reach journey's end," he recited, voice warm and clear. "Wherever and whenever that may be."

When Karal was done, Thursday placed her hand over his on her shoulder to show her thanks. "You'll write?" she asked hopefully.

"I will," he replied solemnly. "And I will miss you." He turned his hand and briefly closed his fingers around hers. "But I'm thankful that Vkandis granted me a chance to know you."

"Vkandis and I may not be on familiar terms, but I'm thankful to him as well that we met. Don't stop doing what you know is right." Thursday gave his hand a squeeze and let go. "Enough emotional drama," she said in a more assertive voice, knowing it was the best way to avoid dealing with the difficulty she was having with this goodbye. "There are books to pack. Do you think the school would notice if I took the entire collection with me?"

Karal looked utterly scandalised, and Altra snickered. Gathering up the stack of books on her desk, he held them protectively, trying to hide a smile. "I think I'd best go and reshelve these, lest you give in to temptation!"

Thursday didn't hide her smile. "Go on then. I still have the authority to boss you around for another day."

Karal grinned and gave her the best bow he could while holding an armful of books. "Yes, ma'am," he said smartly, turning towards the door. "I'll be in the stacks if you need me for anything else."
