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.

"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.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He glanced over at her. "Aye, we've maps."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

She had the urge to thwap him again. "Are you going on the trip?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

Deciding he'd tormented her enough, George grinned. "I am," he agreed. "Someone needs t'be makin' sure ye behave."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"And you're the person to keep anyone behaved," she agreed, wrinkling her nose at him.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He laughed and shook his head. "I can be keepin' people in line," he argued.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"You're just not certain which line you're keeping them on," she told him.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Says you?" George asked. "Which lines d'ye think 'm confused about?"

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"One that'd please the Crooked God," she said instantly. She moved to stand beside him so she could read the labels on the books.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Always lookin' t'please th' Gods a course," George smirked, giving her a sidelong glance. "Me mam raised me well."

"She did," Beka agreed and she reached up to grab the maps of Virginia. "Mayhap you're just a hopeless."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He glared at her for an instant. "I am not."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Beka suppressed a smile as she unfolded the map. "If you say so."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Aye, I do," George said with a nod. "Deal wit' it, lass."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"I am," she said, absently as the maps had caught her attention. "These are more precise than any map I'd seen afore."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He looked over her shoulder, interested too. "P'haps they have a computer-thing do 'em."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"Like a laptop?" she asked, only knowing that you could listen to the radio on it.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

George nodded. "They have drawin' programs and th' like. They're probably better than drawin'."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

She looked back at him, giving him a weird look. "How'd sommat like that be able to draw?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"I dunno fer sure," he admitted. "But I think ye can tell it t'do it and it jus' does. Or it can copy th' best map and make it over an' over?"

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"But..." She frowned. That made no sense. "It doesn't have aught to draw with!"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"A person has t'tell it to," George said, rolling his eyes.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"And what hands' he going to write with?" she raised an eyebrow.
