Library [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal was smiling as he arrived at the library, Altra trotting at his heels.

He unlocked the doors, made sure the librarian's office was tidy, and did a quick round to make sure everything was in order before settling in at the counter with a cup of tea and a purring Firecat.

The Librarian's Office [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

For the librarian, should he have need of his office today.

He just so happened to be in there today.

As he was every day, really.

Trying to figure out all the organization systems at play here.

Karal knocked tentatively on the door. "Excuse me, sir?"

Re: The Librarian's Office [18/01]

Looking up from a terribly antiquated computer that refused to work for him, he cocked his head to the side. "Is there a problem, Karal?"

"No, everything is fine," he said quickly. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but I wanted to ask, well, for a favour, if I may."

"Ah." He smiled slightly, pushing away from his desk. "May I ask what the favour is first?"

First period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal was drinking his tea and checking through the list of overdue books, to see if he needed to go and chase anyone about bringing their books back.

Early in the morning, Bridge shows up in the library with a box from J,GOB in his hands.

"Hey, dude," he greets Karal with a grin.

Re: First period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Bridge, hello!" Karal greeted him. "Is everything all right now?"

Re: First period [18/01]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Everything's great," Bridge confirms. He sets the box, which contains a half-dozen chocolate cupcakes, down on the counter. "I just- I wanted to thank you for covering for me on such short notice."

Re: First period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal smiled at him. "Truly, it's wasn't a worry. The library is my second favourite place on the island, so I was happy to do so. I'm just glad that everything is well."

He peered at the box curiously (and maybe a little hungrily. He really should have had breakfast).

Re: First period [18/01]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Me too, dude," Bridge nods. "Uh, to all of that, actually. I'm pretty fond of this place myself. And, um. Those are for you. Because even if it wasn't a bother, it was still, you know, the whole day and everything and so... chocolate. For you. As a thanks," he slides the box over.

Second Period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Altra was at the desk, Karal was nowhere to be seen.

He was there, just deep in the stacks.

Re: Second Period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal came out of the stacks, holding a teddy bear. "Altra?" he said as he came up to the desk. "Have you ever seen this before?"

Re: Second Period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

The Firecat yawned and started grooming his whiskers. :It's a stuffed bear. Why would I have seen it before?:

Re: Second Period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"True." He held it up, considering it, then nodded. "It must be Friday's. I doubt Grace has ever been in here."

Re: Second Period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

:Mystery solved.: Altra stretched out on the desk so he could groom his paw. :You can send it to Thursday when you write her that letter you promised you'd send her.:

Third Period [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

The tasks that needed doing had been done, and Karal was working on some vocabulary sheets for the club.

Yes, he could have used the computer, but he didn't like it. It was much more satisfying to craft the letters one by one, and it was just as neat and easy to read.

Lunch [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

The library was closed while Karal had his lunch. Library aides were, of course, welcome, and he certainly wouldn't tell any of his friends to go away if they wanted to stop by.

Afternoon [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal was a little bit nervous, because he was waiting for someone in particular.

He was also surreptitiously trying to see if there were any books on purple giraffes anywhere about the place.

Re: Afternoon [18/01]

It hadn't taken her long at all to locate the library, thankfully. Evey peeked in the doorway, then moved more fully in to stare. "Oh, you weren't joking."

Re: Afternoon [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal came out from behind the counter, smiling as he gestured at the books, which meant he did almost a full circle, to take in the whole library. "I wasn't. Hello, Evey. Welcome to the library!"

Re: Afternoon [18/01]

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

"Hi," she said, still looking around in a something akin to amazement. "I've never seen so many books in one place."

Re: Afternoon [18/01]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"The Temple library has as many, but not on so many different subjects," he said, walking over to stand near her. "What do you want to look at first?" he asked quietly, wondering if that's what his face had looked like the first time he'd seen the library.

Now to sleep, back later!
