Library [06/20]

[furnaceface]

Girl parties, murder investigations, gala dances... It had been a long bloody week. And that was why, even if Jono did manage to get to the library on time for his shift, it had been a struggle to do anything remotely productive.

... At least there was a book in his hands when he dozed off at the desk? It was sort of like slacking off in a topical manner, if you looked at it right.

Just ignore the glittery plum-coloured nail polish.

[Open library is really open, honest!]

//Oh, yes, because you give me so much credit for being clever any other time,// came Jonothon's reply, complete with requisite eyeroll.

"I don't," she admitted, smirking. "Because you have yet to do anything to merit it."

//And I'm not winning any medals by falling asleep on th'job,// Jono noted, idly poking through the stack of books so that he could sort them as they spoke. The conversation was keeping him awake, at any rate. //Really, at this rate, you'll think I'm a complete bloody berk for th'rest of my time here.//

And a year was a long time for someone to think of you as an idiot, wasn't it?

"Years longer than that, even," she said, pursing her lips. "It would be shocking to find another such as yourself."

That got a sideways sort of look from Jono for a second before he redoubled his efforts to put the books into their proper order.

//You know, I have to admit that I'm not entirely certain how I ought to take that?//

That amused her, likely more than it should have.

"Take it however you prefer to," she said dismissively, with the wave of one hand.

//... Of course.//

Jono looked at her again, mulling that statement over, before shifting a few books around and then just finally giving up on the whole mess of it.

//If you really must know, I spent Thursday exercising th'same powers that let me speak.// He shrugged. Brushing it off. No big deal. //I don't really... do much with them, when I can help it.//

"More laziness?" she asked idly, not sure what fell under the umbrella of 'powers' in this case. Mind speech to be sure, but what else?

"Or?" Was there a better reason?

//We'll call it laziness, for now,// Jono decided. It seemed... safer that way. //Wanderin' around a bar in th'middle of hick country, wavin' my hands about and pretendin' to be a mute.//
