Library; Wednesday [ 03/26 ]

Adah knew full well that today, she may have to be dealing with the aftermath of whatever had occurred as a result of her missing rabbit disappearing somewhere in the library. What she didn't know, however, was how, although, as she limped in and got herself settled for shift, she hoped that, whatever it was, it didn't distract her from her reading too much.

Adah loved when that moment of hesitation happened; she knew to watch for it when someone came in, so she almost always caught it, and she smirked a little as Romeo approached. She listened for the request and give a nod her head before it tilted slightly to the side, her eyes questioning, as to wondering which language he was interested in picking up.

"Which tongue? Japanese," Romeo said, ignoring the smirk he had expected. "I should like to be able to say more than 'hello' and 'cool.' It seems only fair to Dojima."

Adah took a moment to give a slightly scorned look toward the computer; she knew she could just enter it in and get an exact answer, but, really, it was unnecessary. She'd been to that section of the library enough that she could probably lead Romeo there blindfolded.

Of course, though, she couldn't make it that easy. She told Romeo exactly where he could find what he was looking for, with directions, even, on how to navigate the shelves to find it.

But she told him in neat, precise Japanese.

Which would be why Romeo was just standing there, staring at Adah, assuming some part of what she had said was an answer, though one he could not decode.

Recovering slightly, he decided to Verona in her direction. She'd understand him, but if nothing else he'd amuse himself with it. In a teasing tone, he returned, "Thou art a minx, a minx most wretched, to hear my plea and comprehend it but give thine thoughts voice only in a way such that I must linger here still, and ask again. Doest thou always abuse power so, or doest thou merely believe thyself in greater need of company than I am of my books? I've no classes today, the clock is as much my friend as thine."

Adah didn't think she'd ever gotten minx before; she felt rather nicely accomplished, and her face showed it, listening to Romeo jaw on, giving a pause at the end of empty space, in case he wasn't finished or perhaps just for dramatics.

"Definitely the former of those two," she assured him with a smirk, and, after a light roll of her eyes, repeated the directions for him again, this time in English.

If Adah was smug, Romeo was equally so at having gotten clear directions out of her, so he smirked right back. "I thank thee," he said, just to show he wasn't entirely done, and wandered off into the stacks.

Some 20 minutes later -- he'd gotten distracted in the poetry section -- he returned with a book of extremely elementary Japanese for checkout. Without further comment, he passed it and his card over the counter to Adah.

Adah quietly and placidly checked the book out for Romeo, taking a moment to pretend to be overly critical and observing of his choice, all show because she actually thought it was going to turn out to be a good place to start. As she slid it back toward him, forward on the desk, she added, "I can bring my notebook from my Japanese lessons with me to club this week, if you're interested."

She figured that, if Romeo had the patience to penetrate through some of the distractions that Adah naturally took to fill up the margins, it might be useful, and she wasn't using it any longer.

"I'd like that," Romeo said as he placed the text in his satchel. Andrew had suggested he talk to Hoshi, but he reckoned that could wait until he had a foundation in the language and was less likely to make a fool of himself.

"And I would be good to it, no jam on the pages or the like."

Adah gave Romeo a firm, agreeing, grateful nod to Romeo's offer of respect, despite the fact that she was already plotting and working out which pages she'd mess up before Friday. She'd have Edgar tonight, in fact. Now all she'd need was a jar of jam, give it to the little robotic lust baby, and let her have a field day.

Well, no, that wouldn't work. It'd have to be subtle. Page 5, on sentence structure, just a little smear, perhaps...

If he'd known what Adah was plotting, Romeo would have laughed, and suggested Reynaldo join in the party.

As he didn't, though, he simply thanked her again before leaving the library.
