The Library [11.07]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

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.

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?"

"Other than nothing at all....nothing at all," he said and grinned.

Re: Afternoon

He laughed. "Well, if you can tear yourself away from doing nothing for an hour or so, we could go down to Caritas? I'd like to see if I can throw the darts using Altra's eyes," he said, then added quietly, "And we could drink to Florian's future."

Gavin was quiet for a minute before he said, "Yeah. Yeah, I think that sounds like a good idea."

Re: Afternoon

"Altra is not allowed to drink anything, though," he said after a moment, smiling a little. "I do not want to see the world through the eyes of drunken Firecat."

Re: Afternoon

Gavin took a minute to imagine that.

Wait, he needed one more minute.

"I wonder..." He trailed off. "If a gremlin bit Altra, would you feel the effects?"

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal looked absolutely horrified. Luckily, he was saved from answering by the return of ALtra, who snorted. :If a gremlin got close enough to try and bite me, it would be a dead gremlin, very quickly.:

"That is either really good or really creepy timing, Altra," Gavin teased. "You don't think it'd be funny to be a singing Firecat?"

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Altra eyed him while Karal tried to smother his laughter. :I've been a singing Firecat,: he said, beginning to groom a paw. :And no, I don't want to talk about it.:

"Will you come to Caritas tonight, Altra?" Karal asked. "Gavin and I are going, and it would be much easier to play darts if I could see the board."

It was Altra's turn to look horrified. :No throwing darts unless I'm there.:

Re: Afternoon

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I wouldn't let him throw one at anybody...bad," Gavin said, adding the last word as an afterthought.

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

:True,: Altra conceded. :Still, it would be better if I was there.:

"And so we will go." He nodded. "Did you have anyone in mind?" he asked Gavin.

Re: Afternoon

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"For you to throw darts at?" Gavin asked. "Always fun to antagonize John."

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Oh no." Karal shook his head. "He's in my explosives class. I'm definitely not antagonising him!"

Re: Afternoon

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Aww, bummer," Gavin said and thought about it again. "Aravis?"

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Gavin!" he squeaked.

Re: Afternoon

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"What?" Okay, he'd done that on purpose. "She's a teddy bear!"

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Aravis is many, many things, but she is not a teddy bear," he said shaking his head. "And I promise never to tell her you said she was."

Re: Afternoon

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you don't, I'm sure the little squirrels will," Gavin said, making a face. "We could throw 'em at the zombies?"

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"All right," he said, laughing quietly. "If we must throw them at anyone, we'll throw them at the zombies."

Re: Afternoon

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"At least they won't really care?" Gavin tried. "And, I mean, if we get too outta line, I'm sure Altra will set us both straight or just Jump us somewhere or something."

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

:Into the pond,: Altra said as he groomed his tail.

Re: Afternoon

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Aww, Altra, your kindness is truly moving," Gavin said, laughing as he did.

Re: Afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal covered a smile and reached out to scratch Altra behind the ears, making the Firecat sigh and start purring. :Or back to the dorms. I'd probably get wet if I tried to Jump you both into the pond.:
