Library [03/07]

[furnaceface]

It was just another day in the library, damn it.

Jono had heard the radio last night, yes, and he was well aware that the entire island had gone absolutely barking mad, but, come hell or high water, he was going to do his best to make certain that today was just another day in the library, damn it.

... Mostly, this involved playing Farmville.

//I see.//

That was most definitely a glass of water. And now Jono was torn. Should he just take the blasted thing and humour the boy? It certainly seemed the easiest way to do things.

//Well, then give it here.//

Davy handed the glass over, looking a little wary.

Re: Morning

Jono... accepted the glass. And he eyed the glass. And then he sighed and shook his head.

//Yes. This is certainly water,// he agreed. //Very well done. Thank you.//

And then he set it down on the desk.

Well, he wasn't about to dump it over his own head, was he?

That was a little anti-climactic.

"Are you making fun of me?" Davy demanded.

Re: Morning

[furnaceface]

//Not at all, mate.//

Yes. Yes he was. It was the Jonothon way.

//Just not certain what to do with it, from here.// This was not making fun of, so much as it was Jono, snaking a finger under one of his bandages and pulling it down just enough to let some fire lick outward. //Slightly complicated, yer understand.//

Re: Morning

[sith_happened]

"Holy shit!" Davy said, jumping back.

Re: Morning

[furnaceface]

//Yer know, I get that often.// Jono rolled his eyes and smoothed his bandages down again. //Can't for th'life of me figure out why.//

Re: Morning

[sith_happened]

"Because you're on fire," Davy pointed out helpfully.

Re: Morning

[furnaceface]

//And here I even warned yer,// Jono replied, a touch too pleasantly. //Yer'd think that people would be expecting it, after that.//

Right, Jono.

[And now I flee for OLP concert! SP?]

Re: Morning

[sith_happened]

"But you're on fire," Davy repeated.

Davy was special.

Re: Morning

[furnaceface]

//And yer jarringly observant, mate,// Jono sighed.

He then felt the overwhelming need to stand up, lean forward, reach out, and give Davy a pat on the head. There would have been a lollipop involved, if he'd had one handy.

Re: Morning

[sith_happened]

"Why are you patting me on the head?" Davy demanded.

Re: Morning

[furnaceface]

//Just makin' certain that everything is properly attached,// Jono replied without missing a beat. //That's how yer end up like this, yer know. Somethin' comes loose, a few cracks start rubbin' together here an' there, and th'next thing yer know, th'friction's gone and caused a fire.//

Jono was absolutely full of gobshite.

Re: Morning

[sith_happened]

"Oh," said Davy, nodding sagely. "I'll remember that."

See? Special.

Re: Morning

[furnaceface]

//There's a good lad,// said Jono. //Now run along, down that aisle thataway. That's where you'll find yer travel books.//

A pause.

//Yer might want to take th'one that says 'Atlas' on th'cover, mate. That one even has pretty pictures t'look at.//

Re: Morning

[sith_happened]

Davy made a face. "I know what an atlas is."

Re: Morning

[furnaceface]

//And yer can read it all on yer own?//

Re: Morning

[sith_happened]

Davy's glare was very Anakin-like. "Yes."

Re: Morning

[furnaceface]

//Right, then. I'll leave yer to it, mate.//

Jono was kind of hoping that the travel section had up and migrated, now. Mostly because Jono was an ass like that.
