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.

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

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.

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

He was there, just deep in the stacks.

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.

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.

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.

Now to sleep, back later!

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?"

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

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

: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.:

"I will." Karal tucked the bear under the counter where it would be safe, unable to help giving it a little pat on the head. "We can send it off tomorrow."

[Friday's bear modded with permission.]

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.

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."

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!"

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

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

"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.

Evey thought for a moment. "Plays? Is there a drama section?"

"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."

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).

"There is." He bounced a little on the balls of his feet. Introducing someone to the library filled him with glee. "Shall I show you?" he asked, already moving in the direction. "I doubt there are any which have a purple giraffe in them, though."

"I think I can live without my purple giraffe," she said, smiling and trailing after him. "Least for the time being."

"I will see what I can do about finding you one." Karal made his way through the shelves, glancing back over his shoulder to make sure that he didn't lose her, then stopped in the drama section. "Here we are, drama! There's books of plays and similar, and there's also books about drama-- the art of creating it, studying it, working with it, all sorts of things."

"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.
