Library; Wednesday [ 01/16 ]

Adah Price has a new (new to her, at any rate, because the borrowed copy seemed to have gotten at least a little bit of use at one point in time) medical book, one that was either going to make very little sense to her or would be depressingly familiar and ordinary. She didn't bother considering that it might fall somewhere in the middle. She didn't think it would be possible, all things considered. Either way, there was a new book, so the chances of productivity today were pretty much slim to none.

Enon. Ot. Mils.

He most certainly was a librarian and he was now he was doing his job.

Shelving books quietly and in a way that was not threatening.

The bruise from last week was fading, still a rather nasty color, but nowhere near as noticeable as it had once been.

River noticed it however, and the quiet shelving was oddly disturbing. But she remembered Adah's advice from last week: Be the haunter, not the haunted. Not easy though, he was like a ghost. Didn't even have a name.

Then she smiled. That last part could be fixed though. "Hello Bob," she said.

He paused slightly, resting the book in his hand on the shelf as he tilted his head just enough to catch her out of the corner of his eye.

"Miss Tam, I don't think anyone here is named Bob," He informed her kindly.

"I just named you Bob," River replied solemnly. "Can change it to Priscilla if you prefer." She could be generous, after all.

Sighing with a hint of resignation, he pushed the book into place and looked over the spine of the next one. "Only two choices?"

"Yes." There was a limit to her generosity. And already, with two potential names, his ghostly presence took on a more human shape.

Fair enough.

"You still think I am a threat to you?"

Wrong section for the book. He set it aside and looked over the next.

"Potentially. You find that strange?" Her face and body language revealed very little.

"No." They were well matched in that aspect. "It is rather smart to be wary, but unnecessary, really."

River said nothing in reply to that, because there wasn't really much to say about it. "So which should it be?"

This wasn't going to end well.

"Bob would be preferable."

River gave a curt nod. "Bob it is." She had trapped him in a name.

He sighed again. "Others are going to start calling me that, aren't they?"

She shrugged. "It depends on several things."

"Such as?" He asked, turning to look at her now.

"Whether I tell others. Whether it is reported on the radio. How you react to being called Bob." Now she almost grinned.

"Ah." Yes, the radio here was quite interesting like that. "It is simply a name, Miss Tam," he said, looking over the books again, shelving one quickly. "No more different than any other."

Even if it was Bob.

"Nothing is ever simple," River replied, then quickly turned around and headed out of the door.
