Library [09/12]

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

There were flowers on the desk when George got to the library, but he ignored them.  He was a man, dammit, not a girly flower person.

So pay no attention to the fact that after spending an hour making sure all the books were shelved and all that, he was checking the pots to make sure they had enough water and everything.  No dead flowers on his girly flower person watch.

When the flowers were being ignored.

After her training with the dreamy Mr. Dayspring, Jean found herself in the library.

Because she clearly needed reading material for elections.

"Hi, George!"

Re: Morning

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

Um, clearly. Didn't everyone?

"Jean, lass," he said with a grin. The words flowed t'gether, see. "Good morning t'ye."

Re: Morning

Well, she was a lass. And it sounded so suave when he said it.

"I didn't know you worked here."

Re: Morning

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

Suave. He was totally going for suave!

"I got a note tellin' me t'come here," George said with a shrug. "So I guess I do? I don' think they pay me though."

"Then it'll look good on your records," Jean added. Yes. Because George was thinking about college, you know.

Re: Morning

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"...me records for what?"

Re: Morning

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"School!" OMG, DUH.

Re: Morning

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"But th'school already knows," George said. "Cause they assigned it..."

Re: Morning

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Not this school. But, you know, when you graduate. For going to college. That's why I'm running for Student Council."

Re: Morning

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Aye, lass, but 'm not goin' t'college," he pointed out. "We don' have 'em at home."

Re: Morning

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"What do you have then?" Jean asked.

Afternoon

Fine, flowers, whatever.

Jennifer came into the library, smiling. "Hey George," she said. "I didn't know you worked in here."

Re: Afternoon

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Aye, well, I didn' either until I got me a note tellin' me t'come in," George said, making a face. "I dunno who sent it but no one's told me t'go so..."

Re: Afternoon

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"They hired you by note?" Jennifer said. "Well, that's one tactic, I guess."

Re: Afternoon

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Am I gettin' paid?" he asked, perking up. "I thought twas part of th' school duties."

Re: Afternoon

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"...I don't know," Jennifer admitted. "It might be a volunteer thing. But it'll look good on your college applications?"

Re: Afternoon

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

A few months earlier, that would have gotten a blank look but now he just laughed. "We don' have college at home," George said. "So tisn't really a worry."

Re: Afternoon

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Ohhh, right," Jennifer said, smiling embarrassedly. "I forgot. Well, at least you'll have lots of chances to read?"

Re: Afternoon

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He looked up at her innocently. "Of course, tis a good chance t'catch up on me readin'."

And not plot mischief at all. Really.

...pay no attention to the book on construction he had out.

"Was there anythin' I could be helpin' ye wit'?"

Re: Afternoon

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I was looking for some recent US History books," Jennifer said. "Figure I might as well read up."

Re: Afternoon

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"...in case there's a test?"

Re: Afternoon

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"So I'm more familiar with the time?" Jennifer said. "I'll be here for two years. It'd be a shame to be slightly lost on that stuff for all the time."

Don't mind me. I'm not even awake.
