Library [Sunday, February 10]

After a week off from the library, Lee was back behind the desk, eating a banana for breakfast and idly spinning a book around since he didn't want to read it just yet. He figured he could be productive, get some homework done but there just wasn't academic motivation today.

"Alcohol," Lee clarified. "From my planet. Gets you drunk quick."

The eyebrow went higher. "A bit young, aren't you?"

It was damn near teasing.

"I didn't say I drank it," Lee pointed out. "Just that it'd be cool to have it pouring out of faucets."

"Of course."

Still that hint of amusement, maybe getting a bit more obvious.

"And I'm not saying I wouldn't drink it either," Lee admitted. "Come on, free alcohol. Wouldn't you?"

He shook his head, setting the books down on the counter. "I don't drink."

Unless he was a drag queen. Then he drank.

"Missing out," Lee said with a small smile. "There's some good alcohol out there."

"Never had a taste for alcohol," He replied, shaking his head. "Numbs far too much."

"What'd you drink for fun, then?" Lee asked. "Milk?"

Re: Lunch

[identity profile] nottheoperative.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Tea."

And he had just found actual tea cups. A celebration.

Yes, that was why he was smiling.

"Right. My father likes tea," Lee said, making a face. "I think it's too damn bitter, myself."

He frowned slightly at that. "Not if properly brewed."

Re: Lunch

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe he doesn't brew it right," Lee said, shrugging. "I just never drank it. Stuck with juice or water or whatever else was handy. Or maybe he brewed it wrong so I wouldn't drink it all."

The librarian paused for a moment, eyes down to allow for privacy of thoughts in Lee.

"Would you care to try some? I do have sugar if you must."

Re: Lunch

After some thought, Lee said, "Sure, why not? Can't hurt."

Re: Lunch

Nodding, he turned to his office to pour two cups. And bring back some-- sugar.

At least he managed to not shake his head at that upon return with them. "A green tea."

"Thanks," Lee said and took the cup so he could sip the tea slowly, without sugar at first. "It's...not too bad."

Re: Lunch

"An acquired taste, I am told," He said, taking his own cup. He pushed the sugar forward just a little.

Re: Lunch

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
And Lee took the sugar and added a liberal amount. "Mmm, sugar."

Re: Lunch

[identity profile] nottheoperative.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That he just had to shake his head at. "Are you well, Lee?"

Re: Lunch

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pretty well," Lee said, sipping at the now sweetened tea. "Could always be better but I can't complain. Classes aren't too bad and nothing major to knock me off balance so I'm pretty well."

Re: Lunch

[identity profile] nottheoperative.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded again, sipping his thankfully unsweetened tea.

Perhaps he was out of practice with this talking thing.

"And we haven't done any of that weird changing into other people which is always good," Lee commented.

He made a small noise at that, nearly choking on his tea.

"Yes, that had not been pleasant."

Re: Lunch

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Lee snickered. He really couldn't help it. "I had a cape."
