Library [22.10]

After opening the library, and ducking off to class, Karal got his daily chores out of the way as quickly as he can so he could work on the latest lot of papers that had arrived from home.

He was deep in thought as he read using Altra's eyes, and both of them had a headache as a result, but he was interruptable should you have need of him.

Ender had snuck into the library relatively early, to gather a few more of the sketchy books the library had on alien life.

So sketchy, you'd think this time hadn't even encountered any. "Hey, Karal," he did greet, when one pass brought him near the boy.

"Good morning," he replied, smiling as Altra put his feet on the shelf and stretched high, so Karal could shelve the book he was holding in the right place. "Can I help you find anything?"

"I've got most of what I was looking for," he said, halting to watch the relative spectacle of cat and priest. "For the time being. Unless you've got something on sailing you want to recommend."

"Well, there is one that I found very useful, but," he hesitated, wavering, then continued, "you might find it insulting."

"Unless it's going to try to insult my butt," Ender said, frankly, "I can risk it."

Karal laughed, held up a hand in a 'wait here' gesture, and followed Altra around the end of the shelf, returning a moment later with a bright yellow book (http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesTitle/Sailing-For-Dummies-2nd-Edition.productCd-0471791431.html). "There." He held it out to Ender.
endsthegame: (oh really?)

Ender looked from Karal to the book and back again. "Well," he started, a smile tinging his features somewhat, "They're up front about the target audience. Sounds like a good place to start."

Karal half-grinned at him. "It seemed the safest place to start," he admitted. "And it was very helpful. I feel I am only half a dummy now about sailing."

"Half a dummy probably doesn't sink as hard," he said, "But don't test that."

He started to laugh. "No, I don't think I will." Altra gave Ender a disgusted look. "I've yet to find a book like that on rafting, but as I've got a teacher for that, I probably don't need one."

"You've got a good teacher," Ender said, with no real arrogance to it. "Unless you're really a dummy, or you don't put in the effort, we'll make it work."

"I'd have to agree," he replied easily. "So far, I'm completely not drowned, so it must be true."
