Library, Monday [8/30]

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

Several days back in Fandom with nothing in particular to do already had Gabrielle a little (okay, a lot) antsy, so she was more than eager to get back to work at the library for her first shift. This did involve a quick walk around and good look at the stacks to make sure nothing had changed on her too much since she'd been gone (two months or six, whichever way you looked at it, was a long time) before she threw herself into the task of reshelving and straightening up with a slightly manic kind of energy.

In between rounds of that, she could be found at the collections desk, fresh parchment and a newly-cut quill from that last stop back in Athens spread out in front of her; she had a lot to write about.

Starting with the easier adventures -- she was hoping to work her way up to that big one. This was still a satisfying demand on her creative energies, though, so the aide at the desk this morning was a cheerful one. That was an auspicious start to the semester, right?

"You mistake my interest as an attempt to dissect his fragile little walls," Sherlock replied, turning his attention back to the newspaper. "But if you consider yourself a freak and are ashamed of it, I suppose it will always be easy to crumble. I'm surprised there's no therapist on the island, to be honest."

if you consider yourself a freak ... It took Henry a long, startled moment to realize that was a general you, and not a specific one. At least, he hoped it was.

"Jonothon's been under a lot of stress. But I don't think you have to be ashamed of something not to be especially thrilled to discuss it on first acquaintance," Henry argued. (Probably, he realized, futilely.) "Are you an open book?"

"If you know what to look for, I'm certain I ought to be."

There really wasn't an answer to that, especially because Henry wasn't looking for anything in particular. (He got as far as not a physical threat, but he was no detective.) It felt like time to cut his losses before anyone's nasal integrity was really in danger.

"Interesting," he said vaguely, as he stood. "Well. Thank you for your time. It has been" -- about as productive as ten minutes banging your head into a cement wall -- "enlightening."

"Always happy to help my local library," Sherlock replied dryly.
