Library | Saturday

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

There was no being late when Griff had hardly slept the night before - common rooms had that effect. Sure, he'd been to the library before, but it was different to be the only person there.

Excellent.

Rather than doing the smart thing of familiarizing himself with the desk and the systems, Griff went into the stacks and started pulling books. He had reading to do.

Morning

Griff is probably buried behind a stack of books at the desk, nose stuck in one.

As promised, she came around opening time with two cups of coffee and even a muffin for Griff.

She didn't say anything, just found him and put the breakfast down with a little smile.

"Thanks," he said, smiling a little with the joy of having spent a nice morning with books in spite of any other turmoil in his life.

"Reading anything good?" she asked before looking around for a place to sit.

"Found myself a glut of banned books," he said, gesturing at the piles on the desk before picking up the coffee. "Interested?"

Re: Morning

That had her tip toeing around to peer at the piles.

"Banned by who? When?"

Interested indeed.

"Different groups of people, schools, all different time periods," he explained. "I'm thinking of reading them all just because."

She grinned.

"Sounds like an idea to me."

She looked the texts over again.

"They seem to be mostly fiction."

"People seem to dislike fiction that makes others think things they don't agree with," Griff said with a little nod. "I figure it can't hurt to think about other things right about now."

"I'd never noticed," she admitted before finally sitting down.

"And I certainly agree with the idea. I used to go over our Marcellus Masters all the time."

When she was frustrated with everything. Learning how to make things better, how to heal, how to fix something, had soothed her.

"Sounds like maybe you'd like to read along," he suggested. "There's plenty to choose from if you're interested."

"It would give both of us someone to discuss things with, at the very least," she observed, "and considering the 'banned' content, that's worth something, isn't it?"
