Library [09/26]

[furnaceface]

There was music in the library today. It wasn't the same, loud, pervasive music that Jonothon normally opted to, however. Today it was almost like a whisper of music. Like a hundred little voices all joining together in song.

... Or, more accurately, the rustling of the pages of every book on the subject of music in the entire library, all rising up in glorious, but quiet, harmony.

They'd just finished Sound of Silence, and were moving on with Scarborough Fair when Jono came in, levelled that aisle with a look, and then shook his head and set to work shelving things. Occasionally, things that were singing at him.

Ah, Fandom.

[Open! And listening to Simon and Garfunkel.]

"breaking my heart ... shaking my confidence daily," Henry sang softly as he came into the library, then cocked his head. "Morning," he said, wandering over to the coffeemaker. "So. Singing books today?"

Watch, he'd sound casual about that. Or try.

//Singing books today,// Jono confirmed, giving his shoulders a shrug at that revelation. He'd been here for over a year, now. The onions were, by far, stranger yesterday than the books today. //I suppose there are worse things they could be up to.//

But he wasn't going to list any of those things off, lest the books start getting ideas.

Oh Cecelia... I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please...

"Singing books today, criticizing onions yesterday," Henry said. "Tomorrow there will have to be dancing shoes to complete the trifecta."

He slurped his coffee. "Like you said, could be worse."

//... If I have to chase my boots down tomorrow before I can go anywhere, I'm blaming you,// Jono decided amiably. //Just so that you know.//

He was certain that Henry was going to lose sleep over this at night.

"Warning appreciated," Henry answered amiably. "How's everything else? Any unwelcome guests so far?"

Re: Talk to Jono!

//Not yet,// Jono replied, his tone just wary enough to suggest that he was, as always, not the most optimistic person so far as such things went. //But I imagine if any show up, I'll be able to deal with it today.//

Which was to say, he'd woken up this morning not feeling as though he wanted to crawl under a rock and stay there.

//... Probably.//

"I'll be back in my office if you need me," Henry answered, trusting that probably as much as he could. "Or I might go out into the shelves and see if I can teach them Simon's solo work. One of the two."

//Well, unless you decide to run off with th'books to form a cover band, either way I'm certain I'll be able to find you,// Jono replied, nodding a bit. //Thank you.//
