Library [Sunday, January 6]

After a week off, Lee's back in the library and propped up lazily behind the desk. He wasn't going so far as to put his feet up on the desk but he was doing some lounging and leaning and occasionally spinning in the chair. There were books to be checked in and shelved but he had all day to do that.

"Different is a good word to use," Lee agreed with a nod of his head. "Are you...from this planet?"

Which was such a weird question to ask but he wasn't and he knew others weren't so he asked anyway.

He blinked at the question, wondering if it was so visible on his face. Would have to correct that.

"No. Earth-That-Was has not been inhabited for some time where I am from."

"I don't know where that is," Lee said, frowning. "I'm not from this planet either. Reason I asked."

"This--" He waved one hand around them toward the room. "--if I am correct is Earth-That-Was. Where I am from, there are many planets that are inhabited."

"This is my first time near any Earth that was, is, or ever will be," Lee told him. "I'm from a place called Caprica. Galaxy of the Twelve Colonies."

"Mine as well." He smiled, picking up his cup of tea. "I apologize, would you like some?"

"What is it?" Lee asked, peering at the cup. "Coffee? Hot chocolate? Something else I haven't had yet?"

"Tea. Earl Grey if the package is to be believed."

"No thanks," Lee said, shaking his head. "Maybe next time. I'm not really a tea drinker."

"I will keep some in the office should you care for some next Sunday," He said, smiling slightly. "Well. Mr. Adama. Is there anything you can tell me about this place someone not from the planet should be aware of?"

"The people here really like shirtlessness," Lee said because that was important to tell the new librarian. "Um. Hm. It's colder here than I'm used to. Lots of downtime! Another thing I'm not used to."

There wasn't much more of a reaction to the shirtless comment more than a surprised blink that was gone almost too quickly to notice.

"Military, are you?"

"Going to be," he said with a nod. "I was in the academy back home, about to head off to flight school when I got tossed here."

Of course. The boy was too young for it, really.

"A pilot, hmm? What do you fly?"

"Vipers," he said, grinning. "And Raptors but they're slow. Vipers mostly."

Not particularly knowledgeable of the types he was referring to, but certainly aware of how they made him react, He chuckled. "A fighter pilot."

"Yep," Lee said, perking up at the topic of conversation. "You fly?"

"I can, but it is not, I think, the same as what you do."

"You're a librarian that just flies on the side kinda deal?" Lee asked. "Gets you from place to place?"

He shook his head, smiling faintly. "I learned before taking this job, Mr. Adama. This will be my first foray into this field."

"Wow, crash course," Lee remarked with a small grin. "Books can be pretty demanding."

Except not.

Looking at the letter on the Special Collections, he chuckled. "So it would seem."

"Yeah, this place is a little weird," Lee said again because it seemed right to keep saying it. "So, I might not actually be lying when I say the books are demanding."

"Thank you, Lee." He held up his tea in a small toasting gesture. "I will see you again."

"Thank you...sir," Lee said, having realized that he didn't know the new librarian's name. Oh well, he'd just call him Librarian.
