The Library [11.07]

It was with a deep sigh of relief that Karal arrived at the libray and found no one else there. There didn't seem to be any sign of a librarian, either, so...

"Shall we?" he asked Altra. The Firecat nodded and led the way inside, Karal following closely at his heels.

Except for an absence right after lunch to attend class, Karal was in the library, and very happy about it, too.

Sometime after his classes, Gavin was headed back to the dorms when he remembered that Friday was Karal's day in the library. He turned around and headed back to the school.

Pushing the door open, he wandered over, wondering if the last time he'd been in the library was on a Karal day too. Hmm.

Karal's head was bent as he rearranged the contents of a drawer by touch, but Altra was watching the door. "Hello, Gavin," he called cheerfully. "They don't seem to have given my day away to anyone!"

"Well, there's no one except you that wants to be stuck with books on a Friday," Gavin laughed as he got closer. "Hey there, Altra. How are you?"

"just because you don't appreciate the magic of a library," he laughed. "And I'm very well today. How are you?"

Altra flipped his ears at Gavin. :I'll be better if you happen to have a fish in your pockets.:

"Sorry, buddy," Gavin said apologetically, looking towards Altra, "I left my fish at home."

He looked back up to Karal and said, "Doing okay. I ended up with all my classes on a Friday."

Altra snorted. :Then you can mind him while I go and rustle up some lunch,: he said, and leapt off the counter.

"I don't need minding," Karal sighed after him, then said to Gavin, "But that simply means you can have the rest of the week for whatever you wish!"

"He's in good hands," Gavin called after Altra. "It does but it also means my Fridays are full up of classes. Least they're pretty cool. And sorry if I start lisping at you. It's a requirement of one of my classes."

Karal cocked his head, looking extremely baffled. "Lisping?"

"Yeah, lisping," he said and stuck his tongue out at Karal. "It's kinda hard when you have to do it."

Karal had no idea there was any tongue sticking out going on. "Why in Vkandis' name did you take a class on lisping?"

"I didn't," Gavin said and stuck his tongue out at Karal again just because he could. "It's on mad scientists and how to survive them. And it looks like the teacher survived about eighty zillion of them."

If Karal could see the tongue poking, he'd be tossing things at Gavin about now. "Oh. Well, he'll probably be a good teacher, then?" he ventured.

"I like him," Gavin said. "He's prettier than you are."

Karal made a face at him. "I'm quite sure student faculty relationships are frowned upon," he said, perfectly straightfaced. "You will have to keep your crush to yourself."

"It'll be hard," Gavin said. "You'll have to stop in sometime and check him out. And I don't mean that literally so don't even make a face."

Karal laughed. "I'll send Altra to class with you next week, and check him out from here."

"I'm sure Altra will appreciate that," Gavin said, looking in the direction where said Firecat had just disappeared. "How are things with you?"

"Things go very well," he replied happily. "Being back here again is wonderful. Explosions class wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it was going be, thankfully. And this," he waved at his eyes, "is not so bad."

"You seem to be getting along," Gavin said, happy to hear that. "Explosions, huh? Passing interest or just expanding your knowledge base?"

Karal went pink. "Because of Evey," he admitted. "It is one of her interests and her great skills, so I though I should learn about it."

"Awww." Gavin had to admit, that was kind of sweet. "You don't think she'll make sure you're safe and not nervous about that class?"

He went pinker, but he smiled. "She is in the class as well. That's why I stopped being scared." He cleared his throat, completely unaware of how dopey his smile had become. "But what of you, Gavin? Are things going well for you?"

"I'm not complaining," he said and leaned against the desk. "Things are good. Things are better, I should say. If it would just get a bit warmer, I'd be even happier."

"Now that I completely agree with! I had more than enough of ice and snow on the Dhorisha Plains," he said. "I miss summer." Karal cocked his head as a thought occurred. "Have you any plans this evening?"
