Library, Wednesday [ 02/13 ]

The early bird mrow eht sehctac, or, at the very least, earned herself a chance to leave for the Librarian, outside his office, a plastic container of blueberry muffins, previous ~~and handwavily~~ retrieved from J,GoB the day before specifically for this purpose. She did not, of course, leave a note with them explaining their existence, but she trusted in his intelligence and her own obnoxious smile on him every time she spotted him to help express for her the fact that they were thanking him for his wonderful work as a librarian and the gratitude she had for him being a convincing potential poisoner.

With the exception of the mood geared on seeming almost annoying cheerful, Adah seems to actually be leaning toward being a good employee today. She's ordering the books on the desk this hour, by the most conventional ways, too, not by her own system that makes sense only to her.

....And now Adah is even limping around the library with a cart of books and putting them in their proper spots of designation...

...Clearly, quite obviously just wanting to impress the Librarian with what a hard worker she was...

With, of course, a break for lunch, during which only the magnanimous Librarian and other hard-working aides are supposed to be in the library...

You know, Adah mused over her studying as she remained settled behind the desk, if there was one person in the world who could potential make even their actions sarcastic...

...it would most certainly, definitely be her. Because fifth period, clearly, just came way too soon, and how woeful she was that she might be having to leave soon. Whatever would she do without the knowledge that she would see the Librarian again for their club in the future?

....I have no idea. I'm clearly riding a delirium muse before crashing hardcore.

Up early so I don't forget. Back in the morning and mostly around except for later in the afternoon for OMG JOB INTERVIEW FINALLY!!!!

River had debated with herself whether the habit of visiting the library was one that should be continued or not, but she found it hard to stay away. Also, today she had something to deliver. She entered, hiding a wrapped gift (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/2503550.html?thread=111614846#t111614846) and an apple behind her back.

While her eyes were on Adah, her mind was also listening for the potential presence of Bob. She wouldn't visit him today. She had to be careful, as Kerrigan had pointed out.

Adah glanced away from where she was making a nice, neat stack of a small amount of law books when she noticed River. She smiled lightly and then leaned a little bit to the side, although peering around the books was proving easier than peering around River to see what she was holding. If the other girl was trying to be inconspicious about it, Adah had to admit that it could use some work. Either way, though, it was nice to see her, to see things regain some regularity (she was, of course, loathed against using the word 'normalcy').

Moving quickly, River was soon standing by the desk opposite Adah. The gift, tied with plenty of ribbons, she placed on one pile of books, the apple on another. "Not attempting to hide them," she said with a smirk. "Just to arouse curiosity." She tilted her head. "Not to be unwrapped until tomorrow."

Adah, straightening by the lead of her one shoulder, glanced from the gift on the law books and the apple on the history books, before settling her eyes on River in between them, with a smirk of her own. Which one, the present or the fruit? The fruit wouldn't be nearly as good if it couldn't be 'unwrapped' until tomorrow, but the present...well...given the amount of ribbon on it, until tomorrow is exactly as long as Adah would probably need to unwrap it.

Adah didn't get a reply to that, as River thought she'd be able to figure it out herself. Instead she crawled on to the desk, reached over the piles of books without pushing them down, and leaned her face close enough to Adah's to feel her breath on her lips. The movement had been graceful and swift, perhaps to fast, but that might just be a way to tease Adah.

It was too quick, but, most of all, it was just unexpected, although it did do a pretty swift job of answering Adah's vague curiosity as to whether or not River was intending on continuing to distance herself. The initial movement caused a reaction of tension in Adah's back, stiffening long her spine, but, as quickly as it had come, in the span of a single blink, she relaxed again, with a weak, embarrassed sort of smile as she blushed. River should give her warnings for those sorts of things. Adah lightly closed her eyes again and stretched her neck forward, to close the space between their lips that River had left.

Adah should not think certain things. That made as much sense as asking River to give warnings. She kissed Adah back, softly at first, then whispered against her lips: "Can't promise the direction of movement will be constant. Just like you can promise direction of thoughts." And there was a hint of sadness in her eyes that she tried to chase away with a smile. "But today there are gifts and kisses." She leaned in again, this time to offer a kiss that wasn't soft and light at all.

Eventually, maybe Adah would break the habit of instantly assuming sudden movements to be deadly; the fact that this particular one lead where it did was helping. She opened the library in a good, though sarcastic (weren't they interlinked, anyway?) mood; this, and kissing River back, still light and soft on her end up attempting to catch up, was certainly helping to maintain this. Dragging it out, she made a small sound of appreciation before finally having to draw back for some air, speaking as the breath came in. "Thank you." For the gifts, the visit, the kiss, for coming back and not remaining distant. It was much nicer when she wasn't distant.

Those words made that soft warmth return to River's chest. Despite the existance of Eels, who might or might not be preferred, this was a good moment. She pulled back, while reaching up to run her finger along a strand of Adah's hair, then sat back on the desk cross-legged and began to peel the apple.

Letting the light brush of fingers through her hair linger a moment, Adah grinned softly. She took a moment to reach out and give one the many, many ribbons on the present a little flick before needing that hand to lean her chin on as she leaned over the desk. She wondered what it might be for a moment, before realizing that it wasn't much good to try to guess, became slightly distracted by River's knee nearby, and then finally looked up toward the other girl to quickly watch her peeling. It never failed to amaze Adah how easy River made that look.

It was easy, for River. She held out a long strip of apple peel, offering it to Adah. "Like a strand of hair or a tapeworm," she said.

Which lead, most logically, to Adah wondering whether or not River enjoyed the pomegranate ginger ones from last week, as she nodded her head in gratitude at the offer of the apple peel. She slowly stat back up, needing her hand to eat now rather than leaning, and took the peel. Any attempt to be as deft as River to lower the apple peel spiral into her waiting mouth was foiled by the fact that her head wasn't seeming to want to tilt back today, so much as it just lolled to the side against her shoulder.

"They were very good," River informed her. "Still don't have tapeworm." She watched Adah eat, resisting the urge to lean in and kiss the corner of her mouth. Instead she slices the apple in half and held out both of them, one in each hand, for Adah to chose.

By the time River offered the half of apple, Adah still hadn't quite managed to clear all of the peel yet, but, in an attempt to not be lagging behind the much quicker River, went to tuck the rest in her mouth and swallow so she could free up her hand and start the apple, but too much of the peel hadn't quite been chewed enough, trickled down her throat, tickled and choked her throat. Her eyes watered, trying not to cough to dislodge it, annoyed that a simple thing like eating could prove difficult, but she had to. The coughs echoed in the quiet of the library, and Adah hunched over slightly, hand out by her mouth to catch the offending apple peel and hair, thankfully, drawn over her face so that River couldn't see it. Sure, she'd know what was happening and even see the after effects in Adah's face red from effort as she lifted her head, tossed it a bit to move some of her hair, but seeing it happen and knowing it happened were too different things. She settled her hand with the half-chewed peel in her lap, as if to act like nothing happened at all, while trying to think of what exactly to do with the fact that she had coughed up bits of apple peel in her good hand at the moment.

Mmm, romantic. Not at all embarrassing, either...

Magnanimous might be pushing it. Just a little.

The Librarian stopped briefly at the front desk to look for books that needed to be put away. "Miss Price."

Lee popped in after his class, bag over one shoulder. He almost attempted to do the 'I'm just stopping by' nonchalance but he figured she was used to that by now and, besides, there was no way anyone believed he was just 'stopping by' anymore.

Adah lightly pushed a small pile of Olde English poetry books toward the Librarian before looking up, her head slightly tilted, and smile up at him with light questioning in bleakly blinking eyes. The perfectly crooked little picture of innocence she was, vaguely beaming up at him with her silent question of Yes?

River gave Adah a look of concern, wondering if she would have to assist in dislodging the offending piece of apple, but relaxed once it was safely released into Adah's hand. She placed one of the apple halves in Adah's hand - the good one - and picked up the apple peel and threw it up in the air, then managed to have it land on her nose.
