Library [10/10]

George had pulled out a big book full of hockey statistics and pictures.

He was looking way more at the pictures, yeah, but he had managed to discover that the lines on the ice weren't just to coordinate with the uniforms.  He'd have to tell Sookie.

She rolled her eyes at him. "Smart enough not to be dead yet," she said.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

George dismissed that, more interesting things to tease about so close at hand.

"So what's th'Rogue's intentions t'ye?" he asked.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"None," she said firmly, fixing him with a Look.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

She'd met his mother, right? He was used to those looks.

"But he came all this way t'visit you," he pointed out. "An' him th'Rogue."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

His mother didn't have ghost eyes.

"He's the Rogue," she agreed. "Which is why there'll be no intentions."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"So you jus' wan' t'canoodle an' move on?" he asked, still smirking but ready to move fast if necessary.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"I do not want to do aught!" she protest and he'd best move fast as she was going to try to slap him with the book.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He got his hand up fast enough for the book to smack against it.

"Course ye don't," George smirked.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"How 'bout you keep your nose out of what doesn't concern you?" she suggested, trying to smack the back of his head with her hand now.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"How 'bout ye don't get so fired up if yer so indifferent?" he snapped, wincing at the blow.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"I'm not," she dropped the book, satisfied with getting a hit in now. "So do they have maps here?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"So what are ye?" he asked, sliding the books out of the way quickly. "An' aye, of course."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"Making sure you keep your nose clean," she said stubbornly. "I'd like to see ones of this world and where we're going tomorrow. Are you going?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Already got a mam," George scowled. "An' ye already got a little brother so don' be treatin' me like one."

...

Okay, he kinda liked it, but shh.

"I've got two," she corrected, sommat seemed off about the statement. "They're much better behaved than you are, so you've no need to worry that I'm getting confused."

And then the thing that was strange struck her. "I never told you I've got brothers."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"That makes 'em sound borin'," George teased. He shrugged. "Yer Beka Cooper."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

She made a face at him. "If you knew who I am, you'd have known it from the start."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Mayhap I did," he smirked.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"And yet you're surprised I'm friends with the Rogue," she pointed out. That'd be the part they'd like best. A Dog being friends with the Rogue.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He shrugged then gave her a sweet smile. "Or mayhap I'm just cracknobbed."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"There's no mayhap about it," she assured you. "You are."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Ye don' think that," he said, starting over towards the maps for her.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"I know that," she agreed as she followed him. "You never answered."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"About which?" George asked.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"Both of them," she insisted. She was curious now.
