Library; Wednesday [ 01/23 ]

Open the library. Y'rar, bileht nepo. Something weren't as good backward, but Y'rar, bileht desolc wasn't much better and it might be too early in the day for her to effectively get away with that, anyway. She had books, though, and she had a relatively comfortable chair at a nice, big desk. There were no bottles of prescriptions, though, that she could make lists out of horrible side effects from, and then write backwards, which just meant that she'd have to make up her own horrible side effects, list them neatly, and then slide them into the books before putting them in the pile of books to be put away. It was only her duty, as a doctor, to warn people that excessive readings of King of the Bracelets may cause frequent, contagious bouts of being hopelessly ostracized, and that these books on religions are likely to get you an unscratchable, burnable rash; if untreated, it could be crippling, much like a leper.

Lee stood up on his tiptoes just to try and glimpse said skirt. "I could always try and find that for you."

It was a bad line but he didn't care.

Adah snorted, her grin sharpening. "You'd be down there searching for a while, then," she said, with a voice that suggested she wouldn't terribly mind, of course, though still teasing. "And here last week, you were worried about being caught kissing; I wonder how that one would look."

"I'd just tell Mr. Librarian the truth," he said, eyes wide and serious. "He'd appreciate that."

"How do you know," Adah reasoned, drawing her eyes away from her book finally as she tilted an imploring head toward the Eel, "that he won't want to verify our story by searching himself?"

"Because I'd punch him in the nose if he tried," Lee said, nodding seriously.

Grin broadening, Adah laughed a little. "Oh, now maybe we should, if only because I would love to see that. It can become a trend around here, me getting to watch people punch the librarian in the face..."

"You like the weirdest things," he teased. "But I really would punch him if he tried."

"I like you," Adah reminded him with a soft, but bright grin, eyes now steadily dancing across his face. "So what does that say?"

"That you have good..." He paused and hopped up to lean across the desk and kiss her lightly. "...taste."

"Mmm," Adah grinned into the kiss which, though light, lingered nicely, especially when she closed her eyes. "Good, but weird, then? I think I can live with that. Can you?"

"I can live with that," he agreed. "How are you doing? Good weekend?"

"Interesting weekend," Adah said, nodding with a slight grin. "Had a girl faking an ankle injury to get painkillers. I gave her placebos instead. But...the library wasn't open Sunday." She frowned a little, mostly in the creasing of her forehead, worriedly. "I'd assume you'd know why. Was everything okay?"

Lee shrugged a bit uncomfortably and said, "I wasn't myself, I guess is the best way to explain it. Or, I was, but I was some different version of me and I didn't realize I had to open the library. I had this ugly hair and a cape and I think I threatened a friend of mine."

The last bit made Adah bite down on her lip trying to smirk out of courtesy and, she'd reluctantly admit, common decency, but, at the same time, she couldn't let the other part go. "A cape?" The smirk broke through easily around her teeth.

"Yeah!" He made a face and checked to make sure he still wasn't wearing the cape. "I kept twirling it around!"

Beaming a little at the double-check, Adah asked, "What color was it?"

These were, clearly, very important questions.

"Brown, I think," Lee said, trying to recall. "With a gold trim. Ugly."

Adah's nose wrinkled. "I'm not even one to keep tabs on that sort of thing, and even I have to agree. You said it was just...a different version of you? One with really terrible fashion sense, then?"

"He had my name," Lee said, wincing. "And knew my background but it wasn't me. He was just...me from some place else. I have no idea."

"Very," Adah admitted. "The girl I gave the placebos to? She came in earlier because, apparently, she was who she was Sunday wasn't who she was today, although they looked the same, minus about a foot maybe. Very ~~whatever the hell the meta is for~~ Doctor Jekyll, Mister Hyde. Wonder if it's something similar, with capes."

"Don't make fun of my cape," he said, mock glaring. "So, the weekend weirdness didn't get you, huh?"

Adah shrugged her shoulder, before it fell just about as much as her right one was currently drooping and shook her head. "Not that I'm aware of anyway. I signed up for a club yesterday, which is a little weird, but that was Tuesday, well away from the weekend. And if you didn't want me making fun of your cape, you shouldn't have mentioned it." She grinned at him, giving him a warning look. "You know me better than that."

"True," he said and shrugged. "Just don't expect me to wear it while I'm not insane. What club?"

"What about just mildly crazy?" Adah wondered, grin broadening in the direction of teasing as she tilted her head. "And Speaking in Tongues. We meet Fridays. Yes, they said they'll make an exception on the actual speaking part if I prefer."

"I'd have to be feeling really generous as well as mildly crazy to put that thing on again," Lee said, leaning against the counter. "That sounds fun though. Different."
