Library [18/01]

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.

"Always," she said, leaning in just a touch.

"I made a map!" He beamed and held up a hand. "Wait here? I won't be more than a moment."

Evey nearly laughed, but contented herself with smiling. "I won't go anywhere."

Karal smiled again before disappearing, returning to the counter where he dug out his map.

He hurried back and offered it to her almost shyly. It was a sketch of the shelves across two pages taped together, with all the subjects marked out on them. "I don't need it any more, so you can have it."

Evey tentatively took the map, examining it. "Oh, thank you, Karal," she said softly, smiling widely as she held it out to look at it carefully. "Now, where is the purple giraffe section?"

Karal laughed softly. "You'll have to discover it and put it on the map yourself," he teased. "And then you can show me where it is."

"I'll have to do my research," she decided. "If there's no purple giraffe books here now, I shall have to fix that."

"What if I leave you to start while I close up the library?" he suggested. "If you get lost, sing out and I'll come and find you."

Not that he thought she was going to get lost.

"I've got my map," she assured him, smiling. "I won't get lost. I can handle myself on my own, by all means."

"Of that I have no doubt," he said seriously. "I won't be long."

He made his way back to the desk, smiling to himself as he began shutting things down.
