Library [1-07]

George finished shelving the books quickly and the other little library tasks. It seemed like there were more on a weekday than Saturday, but he so wasn't going to complain about getting his Saturdays free now.

He settled down behind the desk finally with a mug of hot chocolate (it had been so nice to come back to Fandom and be able to have the stuff again) and a selection of books, some about the US Justice system (thank you, Miss Cabot) and some about famous mobsters.

If you want to avoid the weetiny thief.

Who'd be happy to help except when he's in class 2nd period. Especially you. (Not you though)

Who apparently is quite good looking.

Don't break the library now...

It was a new semester. Of course Karla was in the library. There was a new play to read and study, new courses to familiarize herself with, new books to read now that she'd overspent on Winsol gifts for everyone...

...A new day for George to be working?

"Kiss kiss,"she said when she noticed him behind the desk. "Hello stranger."

And lo, there was a Henry in his office. He should have been cataloguing; in fact, he was sketching out floorplans for how he wanted his new apartment to look. He was totally available for interruption.

"Kiss kiss, lass," he said, grinning over at her. Okay, so the greeting sounded really stupid out of his mouth but so it went. "I was worrit you'd gone home or some such."

"Me?" Karla protested. "Where did you get that idea? Other than the trip to New York, I've been here all break."

"Twas possible," he defended himself. "An' I hadn't seen ye so it might've happened. I'm glad ye didn'."

"You're the one who absconded with Bobby and Kyle and went back home," Karla reminded him with a teasing grin. "Why? Would you have missed me if I'd gone?"

"Aye but they'd had a time of it," he said quickly. "An' me mam would've scolded me if I hadn't brought 'em home for her t'fuss over." Totally couldn't help smiling back though. "Aye, I'd've missed ye an' ye wouldn't've gotten yer Midwinter presents."

"Your mother fusses?" Karla asked, a bit wistfully. Morton and the boyos fussed unbearably when she went home, but it was different when it was a mother fussing. They understood.

But she shoved that thought away. "Midwinter present?" she asked, drifting closer. "For me? I guess it's a good thing I stayed around."

"You did not go with on the trip," Beka said as she found George in the library. She'd not seen him since Midwinter so she decided to track him down and pull his ears if he needed ear pulling.

"Yer terribly observant, Beka," George teased. "I'm impressed."

"It'd have been fun," she said, ignoring his statement. "I caught a pick pocket."

"Terribly," he said, noticing her wistfulness but not sayin' anythin' t'embarrass her for it. And not thinkin' his mam understood much at all for that matter, but she was his mam so. "An' it's a terribly good thing y'did. Y'd have missed yer classes an' yer present an' me."

Shh, George, don't be cocky.

"He must not've been a ver' good one," he smirked.

"About as good as you are," Beka said, wrinkling her nose at him.

Of course he didn't think she understood. He was male. And thus, often wrong.

"Well, my classes anyway," Karla sassed. "Speaking of classes-- means that either you're not as observant as you think, since we share two of them. Or am I just not that noticeable?"

Yes, there was a wibble-face being directed at you, George Cooper.

"Lies," he said instantly offended. "Y've never seen me work. I could be stealin' a lass' shoelaces, and she'd never notice."

"Aye, Karla who's fifteen an' a witch," he shot back, looking slightly sheepish about it. "I did notice ye."

...just forgotten about that at some point.

"I must've gotten lucky to end up wit' ye in both me classes."

That was him trying to get out of the wibble-face, oh yes.

After his lunch break, Henry decided he ought to introduce himself to a fifth aide. He'd seen the young man when he came in the morning, but George was in class the next time he'd looked, and then there were floorplans to draw and lunch to eat...

So it was early afternoon before he emerged to, rather sheepishly, introduce himself. "Henry DeTamble," he said, offering a hand. "New librarian. You're George, aren't you? I had paperwork somewhere."

"Oh, now you remember me." She wibbled at him for another heartbeat more, then grinned. "And you're nothing to worry about?"

Not that Karla had been paying attention to him or anything. Perish the thought. "And Professor Loki called me the liar."

"I'm pure innocence and p'liteness," he assured her, unable not to grin back. "An' ye were lyin' t'him wit' yer assurances of bein' no trouble whatsoever. So ha."

"Aye," George said quickly, standing up to shake his hand. "I didn' know if ye did exist. Don' think th' last one really did. Did ye lose th'paperwork then? Th' gremlins might've stolen it."
