Library [7.22]

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Making tea, Anemone discovered, was rather difficult when you couldn't convince the sink to give you regular, normal, water.  The faucet had obligingly tried switching between rum, ale, and ginger ale before she finally gave up and went with the soda for breakfast. 

Perhaps letting her open the library hopped up on sugar wasn't the best plan, but she did it anyway. 

The Fandom Library was open.  Beware the hyperactive pink-girl.

Ella had slouched down on the floor, looking through the book Anemone handed her and several others. "Uh-huh," she said, clearly distracted. "Go. I'll follow. Eventually."

Aw, a bookworm!

Knowing anything else she said would be unheard, Anemone turned and went meandering down the aisles back towards the desk. Perhaps taking a slightly more roundabout path than needed, but she got there eventually.

Eventually, Ella did emerge from the stacks carrying Anemone's panda book, a Bitterwoman reprint from the 1950s, and three or four volumes from the Legends (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_(comic)) series, as well as a volume on parrot care.

"Can I borrow all of these?" she asked. "The characters in these here - " she tapped the cover of the first Legends -- "are exactly like the fairy stories at home, just with slight differences, of course."

"Sure!" Anemone quickly checked the books out, taking a moment to coo over Ella's choices. "Oh, I like those, fairy stories are fun."

"All set." Anemone handed the stack back and grinned. "Enjoy!"

"I'm sure I will," Ella said, grinning as she hugged the books to her chest.

Hers. All hers.

... until they were due again, anyhow.
