The library was open, and Jonothon was... busy.

There were books to... sort. And things to... do.

Busy. Yes.

[Ooooooooooopen.]

//And then I could give you helpful and informative feedback,// Jono replied, raising an eyebrow at her. //Such as, 'Oh, and here's where th'faerie princess falls head over heels in love with th'elegant stranger wot swept her off her feet.'//

The sad thing was, he hadn't read the book.

It was truly sad, yes.

"...have you read this before, then?" Oh, oh Rosalind don't be so amused. "That says volumes about your taste in books."

//No, but I like to think that I have a firm understanding of the inner workings of today's great literature.//

Or of today's bad romance fantasy.

//When you finish this one, I can read something back, I suppose. Introduce you to Tolkien, or Vonnegut...//

Had he mentioned his love for Vonnegut?

"You've mentioned Vonnegut twice," she noted. "Favourite author?"

//One of many,// Jono conceded, almost sheepishly. Almost. //Writes novels that are every bit about social commentary as they are about a story that needs to be told.//

Or, well, wrote novels. Vonnegut had passed away in 2007. That one one of those spoilers for his future that Jono rather wished he'd never stumbled across.

//Short stories, as well. Meta for Harrison Bergeron is chilling, actually...//

"I'll consider looking into it," she said, giving the other book in her hand a long look. "But this, I suppose, must be gotten through first."

Somewhere, her mother was probably laughing. And sighing.
