Library [15.08]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal arrived early this morning, got the library opened up, and settled behind the counter to think while Altra curled up on the counter and Evey went to wander through the stacks.

At irregular intervals, there would be a click of hooves, a polite little deer cough, and Altra would raise his head so Karal could see Evey peering around the end of a shelf, waiting for Karal to come and get a book down for her.

It was the most adorable thing Karal had ever seen, but he carefully didn't let it show. Somehow, he didn't think Evey would appreciate it.

"Vashti's asleep on my bed, she's Evey's kitten," he explained. "Actually, she's managing to sleep on the entire bed. I don't know how but she manages to take up the entire space when she stretches out!"

:I'll make sure it doesn't go to waste,: Altra promised, adopting a noble and self-sacrificing manner.

Liir grinned at Altra.

"Much obliged, Altra."

Then he turned to Karal, blocking out certain little voices complaining about her dollies and that he'd best sleep on the ground. Instead, he kept smiling.

"And yes, I'm in a rather good mood. Mostly as I've not found any reason not to be."

"Which is the best reason to be happy," Karal said with another smile. "It's good to see you smiling."

"I was due it," he insisted.

"And yourself? I see Evey's still a deer..."

"You were, and she is." He sighed a little, but smiled over at Evey. "We're getting used to it, and she's learned to turn the pages herself, so it's not so bad. I hope she turns back soon."

"I'm sure she does too," he said. "There's some hibiscus in there for her, if she'd like. It makes a good tisane."

"Moreso even than me, I'm sure." Evey walked over to stand next to Karal and nodded. "Thank you, Liir. I'll make some up this evening. And I read that deer like blueberries, so I'll get some of those, as well."

He nodded.

"I'm off to work for the moment, though," and he snapped out a quick salute.

"I'll see you sometime this weekend or something. And good luck turning back, Evey!"

At which point he made his exit.
