Library [4.4.08]

It was Friday. This meant Karal was opening the library, setting out the morning papers and tidying away any books which had been left out.

He was smiling absently while he did so, because there was something inherently soothing about the order of a library.

"I know." His tone was serious, and he met Cable's eyes. "A very wise woman once told me that a wise soldier sleeps when they can, because when everything starts to happen, you might not have time to sleep, and a wise solider is more likely to be an old soldier, with old comrades." He couldn't help wondering what Kerowyn would think of Cable. "I'm not a soldier, but I can still follow her advice."

"'Very wise woman' would be the word, yes."

He shot Karal the shortest of smiles. The old one, sometimes described as being not unlike the visual equivalent of telling someone it was okay-- they were an eggplant, and they could grow in Cable's garden.

Deadpool was very descriptive about these things, sometimes.

"You'll do well, yet."

And turned towards the door. "Call me if anything happens."

"I'll try to, sir." Karal straightened automatically, unaccountably settled by the smile, short as it had been. "When Altra returns," because he knew the Firecat would, he simply had to have both faith and patience, "I will send word."

"Thank you."

And Cable resumed his tread towards said door, almost as quietly as he'd come in.
