Library [25.04]

Karal was early, and he spent a few minutes simply looking around the library before opening it.

This was his last day as a library aide, and he was only just realising how much he'd miss it.

"Oh." Andrew paused. "I'm going to have to revisit my packing list," he said.

"I still don't understand, though. How can a person be faster than a horse?"

It took him a moment, then he started to smile. "These Companions aren't humans," he explained. "They're horse-shaped but not horses, to horses what Altra is to a cat. Normally, they bear only the Herald they are partnered with, but these are extraordinary circumstances, and they've volunteered to carry us."

"And now I feel silly," Andrew said with a nod. "Give me a moment while I rework my mental pictures."

He looked off into the distance, smiled, and said, "Done."

Karal laughed and nudged Andrew. "Glory, that must have been a very interesting mental picture!"

Andrew turned a little red. "Anyway," he said, "are you excited about the dance?"

"I'm excited to be going with Evey, even if I'm not so excited about the dancing part of it." His smile got a little dopey. "She has a new dress."

"As I recall, you're a fantastic dancer," Andrew said with a grin. "Evey is a lucky girl."

He blushed a little. "I had good partners," he said, shaking his head.

"I won't disagree with that," Andrew replied.

"And I won't keep you. I should probably go make sure my suit is ready to go and polish up my shoes." For the third time.

"Don't wear through the leather!" he teased, then added, more seriously, "And if you need to talk to me, about where we're going and what we'll be doing, come and find me, all right? Or call, and I'll come to you."

"Maybe it would be best if I just, you know, wing it," Andrew said. "The more I know, the more I'll worry."

"Whichever you prefer," he replied. "Though you needn't worry too much. Neither I nor Altra will let anything happen to you."
