Library, Wednesday [ 03/19 ]

Adah hadn't limped into the library in the best of moods this morning, but, on the other, useless, mostly dead hand, it wasn't the worst of them, either. Somewhere towards the middle, divergent slightly to the left. Just how she was mostly used to it, even with unwanted multiplying pets into consideration.

"Agreed." Adah tilted her head, expression gaining a cool lift her her eyebrow. "I don't like having to hate you for making me worry all the time. It takes too much energy."

"I'm still sorry about that," he said and looking innocent. "I helped get rid of them though!"

"And you've gone a whole five seconds without going into telling me all about your intrepid heroics?" Adah shot back smoothly with a smirk. "I'm impressed."

"Well, you might like this one," he said and grinned but didn't tell her right off. Just because he was feeling bratty.

Adah narrowed her eyes, slightly, tib a tsuj. "What makes you think that I would?"

"Because of how I helped," he said, leaning on the desk some. "Where I went."

"And that is?" Adah asked, leaning forward with her arm folded over on the desk to support her. "I have to admit, I'm not very impressed by vagueness."

"West Africa," he said, raising both eyebrows.

Adah's eyebrows also lifted; at least she knew that she could depend on the fact that one was uncontrolled by the nature of her usual asymmetry. "Following up the lead I picked out," she commented against the unbidden spread of her smirk. "What did you think about it? About where, exactly, were you sent? Africa's a pretty big continent."

"We were in...Mali, I think?" Lee said. "Sahara desert, I do remember. Lots and lots of desert. It was hot. And that sun was just beating down and it wouldn't stop and there were bandits."

With a light chuckle, Adah wrinkled her nose a little. "The Congo, if it's even still called that, was just south of the Sahara, so we had fewer desert and more jungle, but no bandits, I have to admit. Instead, we had guerrilla armies of children armed with stolen rifles." She punctuated the comparison with a look that, considering how the bandits were clearly not as good of shots as those children, that her situation won despite all the desert in his.

"I got caught in a trap," he said proudly.

Adah tilted her head, frowning in a slightly confused manner at him.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you could say you avoided getting caught in a trap?"

"Well, me getting caught in the trap lured some old guy out of hiding and he gave us some information on the statue," Lee said. "So, it was good that I did!"

"Leave it to you," Adah said, shaking her head with a tinge of admiration in her voice, "to have even falling into a trap turning out well for you."

"I know," he said, smiling and spread his arms. "I did good. And I was safe besides the whole trap thing."

After watching him for a quiet moment with a wry, contemplative smirk, Adah asked, "Well, what sort of trap was it?"

"I stepped wrong and ended up upside down, dangling from my foot," he explained. "Cool, huh?"

"Hanging upside down from what?" Adah asked, still smirking. "You were in the desert, and, I swear, that's a classic jungle booby trap..."

"Well, the trap was in a settlement," he explained, "with people hanging around. I stepped in it and up I went."

"Literally hanging?" Adah might just be being a brat at this point. "Shouldn't that have been a clue to you?"

"Literally hanging," he said. "And well, clue or not, I was too busy trying to get myself done to really notice."

Well, she didn't actually think...

A light laugh slipping out from her, Adah gave her head a light shake again. "You almost make me wish I was there to have seen it. Almost."

"Worse things have happened to me," he said and grinned. "It was actually good, getting out and being active like that. I haven't been out in the field like that in a long time."

"Good," Adah gave a nod, "although I'm tempted to resent you for the option of being out in the field like that, but I won't."
