Just say no to the ending of the world. Just say noooooo!

Karla poked her head into the library, looking just the tiniest bit hesitant. It was times like these when she really missed having everything adhere to Protocol back home; she only transgressed when she wanted to.

It didn't help that she wasn't sure if he hadn't called because he hadn't gotten her message...or because he had.

Fortunately, she had the book she'd ~~handwavily~~ taken out last week to return. She only wished it was accompanied by the balls and sass Emma had in these situations.

Maybe she should just leave it on the counter and cut her losses?

Henry was in the stacks today, trying to get the foreign language section in order.

This likely would have gone faster if he wasn't reading many of the French and German works instead of shelving them.

It was either too bad or a good thing that George had no idea there was - interestingness this past week. Because otherwise he'd be flaily over more than a few things. As it was, he was simply reading comic books and wondering why no one had ever mentioned 'em before, ~~Bobby~~.

But he was still very aware of particular blonde girls and he was sitting at the counter so when she poked her head in, she got a big grin from the library aide. "Karla! Did ye come t'visit or just t'see th'books?"

His apparent happiness to see her melted away her ~~worry~~ concern and at his greeting, she skipped in, holding her library book. "Who says the answer isn't both?" she asked, setting it down. "I had a book to return but I might have waited till today and a very specific library aide. Maybe. Perhaps."

She gave him a sassy grin and then noticed his odd book. "What's that?"

"Aye, well, I do know me place," he teased. "Jus' a sidelight to th'books. Ye can say it." Even if there was internal jumping at the 'specific' library aide bit. Shh, he was totally cool, really.

He grinned back at her. "Today's a good day. Ye'll get th'best service." Which - so totally sounded bad, shh. "Tis a book where they tell th'story wit' pictures an' ver' tight clothing. About superheroes."

"Well, since you do understand, it can't hurt your feelings too much, right?" Karla teased back. "Though, as you said, the very best sidelight. I may just have to handle all my library needs on Thursdays now."

Which also sounded kinda wrong, but she didn't notice.

She leaned in to look at the pictures he was describing (perhaps a little closer to George than was strictly needed but details). "Wow. That is tight. I don't feel as bad about my body-stocking now."

"I can' be arguin' wit' visitin' th' books," George admitted. "But Thursdays are a good day t'do it. I'm supportin' yer visitin' on Thursday lifestyle."

He looked at the outfit then up at her questioningly. "...body stocking?"

"I'll keep Thursdays in mind, then," Karla said, ducking her head a bit and smiling. "You know, for the books"

She pointed at one of the heroines, dressed in a tight leotard of a color that Karla didn't think could actually be found in nature. "It's like that, but black. I wear it when I go flying. More aerodynamic than loose shirts and things."

George eyed her, reaching up to poke her lightly in the shoulder. "Stop an' back up a moment - flyin'?"

"Don't you ever listen to the radio, George?" Karla asked with a laugh. "Dinah and Momoko and I went flying just the other day. I have wings, silly."

She called in her wings and bodysuit to show him, all metal struts and shimmery blue fabric. "I have an extra set of wings if you ever want to come with me," she offered.

"It works fer real?" he asked, reaching to touch the fabric suspiciously. "An' it doesn' drop ye?" Like Jean did for instance.

"I do listen t'radio!" George protested after a moment. "But I thought they lied about that! Tis squirrels after all."

He had an excellent point about the squirrels. "Of course they don't drop me," she said, frowning a bit. "They use Craft to fly. And I'm really good at Craft. No one who'se gone flying with me has regretted it."

Unlike some red-headed cougars she could~~'t ICly~~ name.

"I wouldn' regret it even if they did drop me," George said quickly, trying to stop the frown. "I jus' only flew wit' magic once wit' Jean, and she did so twas a question!" He looked up at her. "I'd like t'try it."

"I wouldn't ever drop you, George," Karla promised, thawing since it wasn't her Craft in question. "You can trust me." She gave him a smile. "It's astral. You can see the whole island. Everything is so beautiful up high."
