Library Open (10/21)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet unlocked the library, slammed her bookbag on the floor behind the desk, and started making a list of overdue books.

Methos intercepts Angelus rapidly, with an alarmed look at Janet. "I'm sorry to take you from your day, but I wanted to speak to you as soon as possible."

"No problem," Angelus put his hands into his coat pockets, projecting an attitude of patience that didn't match the way his eyes were taking in any scrap of information they could to help him process this situation. "Had a minute. Always happy to fulfill a faculty request."

Curses. Parker was right. This kid is dangerous. "Well, in this case it's more of a faculty apology. What happened here a few days ago when you came in for your card was poorly done, and I apologize for that."

"Oh," Angelus blinked. "Okay then. What changed your mind?"

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"A few loud discussions with my library staff. Which revealed, among other things, that the handwriting on the note that was attached to your card was a forgery. Janet Fraiser," with a nod to where she was sitting behind the collections desk, "did not write it."

Are you allowed to have loud discussions in a library?

"Huh," Angelus glanced at Janet, then put his gaze back on Prof. Pierson. "Can't say that doesn't clear up some confusion on my part. Far as I was aware Janet and I never crossed paths. I hate having sworn enemies when I can't remember swearing."

Janet glanced up, nodded, then went back to writing down the names of anyone with an overdue library book.

"So banning you from Special Collections would have created a sworn enemy? Seems a trival thing, doesn't it?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No," Angelus said, "someone singling me out like that suggests they consider me to be their sworn enemy. Though I agree that on a scale of 'I'm not touching you' to 'Rain of fire' opting for 'I've restricted your library access' is a little lame on the revenge scale. No offense to your chosen profession, of course."

"None taken," Methos said easily. "I'm glad we got this straightened out."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"So what's the new policy?" Angelus asked. "I assume nobody is allowed in Special Collections, but is there a new rule on banning students specifically?"

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"I promise you, when we have new guidelines in place, the students will be the first to know. We wantt o make sure that everyone has an equal chance to pursue their education. Special Collections will not be closed indefinitely."

"That's all anyone could ask for," Angelus said. "Is Malfoy getting an apology too?"

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"I think that's really between him and the library staff. Thank you for coming, Angelus. I don't want to keep you from your day."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yessir," Angelus said, with only a soupcon of sarcasm in the tone. He went off to talk to Cally.
