It was an unusually quiet Anemone that opened the library today, a worried Gulliver trailing behind her.

"Protecting through the proper application of the rule of law," Peter corrected, not meaning to sound quite as pompous.

He shook his head and grinned. "Both, please. Err, or one of each. I'm not sure ow one could implement it without all the science this time has so...historical applications might be useful. And I'm sure Miss Next wouldn't mind unless you hurt her precious books? Perhaps?"

"Miss Next wouldn't mind. She might make some comment about me giving Friday bad habits, but as long as I didn't start giving the books new illustrations I would be safe from her wrath. The new librarian, however, I don't know well enough to attempt it."

"Let's see. Well, there is this (http://www.amazon.com/Suspect-Identities-Fingerprinting-Criminal-Identification/dp/0674010027/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201664994&sr=1-2) one, which is history, and there's another one (http://www.amazon.com/Fingerprint-Science-Roll-Classify-Fingerprints/dp/0942728181/ref=pd_sim_b_title_1) about how to take them." Anemone jotted down the locations of the two books, as well as a few others for him to browse. "You seem to have great faith in the law to protect, then why are you learning about fingerprinting?"

Peter coughed. "This is where Willow would scold me for not being around the library enough to notice yet."

"I do have faith in the law, but it's not enough to assume it'll continue to do a good job," he replied. "Fingerprinting can help find the correct suspect when other less technical methods fail."

"I think the only students who have noticed are the ones who work here," Anemone replied. "The library doesn't get much business unless there's a crisis, at least not on Tuesdays. It's an exciting day if I have half-a-dozen come through the doors."

"Should we organise a campaign to fill the library more regularly?" Peter asked with a quick grin. "We do have to keep you entertained."

"Then I might not have time to work on my masterpiece. I'm trying to figure out what to paint on the ceiling," she deadpanned as she looked upwards. "Although I suppose the company would be welcome. I get bored easily."

Gulliver made a snort that sounded suspiciously like the panduppy equivalent of 'no kidding', and Anemone shot him a Look. "Oh, shush you."

Peter eyed the pand-puppy-thing with a bit of a smile.

"Well, I'm certain if the Librarian doesn't mind you painting on the books, wy should he mind the ceiling?" he teased.
