Library [09/19]

The normal library tasks were starting to get familiar now that George had been doing them for three weeks. Which weirdly didn't mean they were going faster cause as he put the books away, he kept stopping to look through them. Who was reading books about pandas' mating habits? Did they really think they were going to be breeding pandas anytime in the next fifteen years?

He finally settled down after lunch with a book about theories of government. And a dictionary because Tortall education so didn't cover words like 'federalism.'

Despite his best efforts last night, he was still leaving little sparkles of blue and gold glitter everywhere he went. Thank you, Jean.

George was so innocent here. Really.

"Bein' called t' th' Vice-Principal's office."

"So you got called for naught?" she eyed him. There was sommat like being too innocent.

"I was helpin' out a lad," George said. "Twasn't anything done wrong. Why? Are ye worryin' about me, lass?"

"You've no need for me to worry about you," she assured him. "And you're cracked if you think I'll believe you've got called in for doing naught."

He stretched, way too amused. "Tisn't a Dog's matter, but aye, if ye insist. Mere pullin' a prank on a lass who did one t'Bobby."

She'd not meant for it to be a Dog's question, but then mayhap she didn't know how to not sound like a Dog. She tried not to for an instant. "So what did you do?"

"Take down 'er door and put up a wall in its place," he replied, snickering.

Come on, it was an awesome prank.

Twas and Beka pursed her lips, trying not to laugh. "And what did she do? Who was it anyway?"

"Dunno," George shrugged. That part hadn't mattered. "Some girly lass called Rose. She's Bobby an' Kyle's friend."

"I know her," Beka said with a grin. "Does she know?"

George gave her a sweet smile. "I haven't heard Bobby yelp yet so p'haps not."

"And you think she'll not meddle with you?" she asked lightly.

He snorted. "She's a lass, aye," he said. "She'll be goin' after her friends an' never do give me a second thought."

He was far too smug about that and Beka shrugged a shoulder, glancing at the bookshelves. Not even her Lord has a library this large. "Unless she finds out."

"You goin' t'be tellin' her?" he asked. "Stickin' together wit' th'lasses?" He noticed her look towards the bookshelves. "Did ye want me t'help ye find somethin'?"

"You think I should be sticking with you?" she asked. "I've a feeling I'll be looking for a while if you don't."

"No reason why ye should," he said quickly enough to try to cover the automatic assumption of Lower City loyalty. "What was it ye wanted t'be readin'?"

She raised an eyebrow at him. "What? No talk of how you've got more to offer than a gixie would?"

An eyebrow was raised back at her. "I didn' think ye'd need what's obvious bein' said again. Th' gixie'll sort 'erself out."

"Here I thought you'd be more persevering," she shrugged a shoulder. "Are there books on how their city guards work here?"

George shot her a smirk. "An' I learned long ago not t'get between them and their lady loves."

Oh, he so deserved t'get hit.

"Aye, depends on th'kind and where. Tisn't all th' same here."

"I'm no honeylove," she did have the desire to reach across the desk and hit him. She settled for a glare.

He cracked up, too amused at that automatic denial. "Did I say ye were?"

"You implied it," she wrinkled her nose. "What kinds are there?"

"Didn't," he shot back. "Um, tis the army an' stuff, an' th' police of th' cities in this country an' then th' ones in other countries then th' ones from their history?"
