Library, Saturday - 10/2

Not having listened to the radio last night, Blackagar hadn't heard the news about his visitors this weekend. That might have been for the best since this meant he still went to work.

Family was important, okay!

~~Especially the kind that constantly tries to kill you, usurp your throne and marry your queen.~~

So, for now, he was re-shelving a few books that had been singing last week apparently.

With aaaall those awesome books.

He wasn't much of a conversationalist, but he listened well!

Of course Blackagar would end up here in a serving capacity. It made Maximus a little too pleased to see, to be perfectly honest.

"Brother!"

...fake siblings not withstanding, there was only one person who could actually say that to him.

Blackagar peered around the row of books, smiling in a friendly manner when he saw his younger brother. Poor Maximus. It wasn't his fault that the mists didn't grant him his uniqueness.

"So wonderful to see you," Maximus said, keeping that, ugh, friendly smile on his face. "Again."

Not that he had ever visited when Blackagar was in isolation, mind.

Of course not, that was only for Medusa to do!

Blackagar nodded, not making any comment about the lack of visiting because, well, not even his parents really visited that much. Because the Inhuman royal family was kinda horrible sometimes. And trauma was good!

He glanced around after a moment, checking if anyone was with Maximus.

"Oh, Crystal is... somewhere." Probably in some human's bed. Ugh. "But I'm here to see my brother."

He wasn't a creeper at all!

Medusa was blissfully unaware of the younger siblings in their midst. Let's see how long that lasted for. "Blackagar?" she asked, sounding hopeful. "Are we still on for swimming later?"

"Swimming, dear cousin?" Oh god, Maximus. You're such a creeper.

His little brother was here, Medusa! Wasn't that... interesting?

Blackagar waved at her from behind Maximus, trying desperately to apologize for the date no longer seeming quite possible.

~~Creeper~~.

Medusa jumped, then recovered quickly and said, "Maximus! What a surprise!"

It meant, 'What in the names of our ancestors are you doing here?'

"Oh, did Crystal not find you?" Oh, Medusa was so beautiful. She's make a wonderful queen for him.

...oh god, where was she then?

Blackagar was going to have to ask Lockjaw to look for her, wasn't he?

"Crystal? Crystal is here? Blackagar, Crystal is here," Medusa said, sounding just a little strident. This was the worst thing that had ever happened to her. "Where is she?" she asked Maximus. "Can't you keep track of her for two minutes? She's--she's the youngest." That was definitely not why she was so worried.

Maximus just sighed, crossing his arms over his chest like the sulky teenage boy he was. "How should I know? She's the one who wanted to mingle with the humans."

Had he not been himself, Blackagar would have made a strangled noise there. Instead, he pulled out his little notepad and wrote down:

Americans, Maximus.

"Yes, exactly," Medusalith snapped. "She's the one who wants to mingle with the--Americans." Which was why she was a disaster waiting to happen. "Blackagar, we have to find her, and--and tie her to something." If Medusa had heard of chastity belts... "And I have to hide all of my shoes."

"I'm sure she's fine!"

No he wasn't.

"We can still go swimming!"

Blackagar hated his family just a little bit right now.

Putting a hand on Maximus' shoulder, he pulled the boy just a little away from Medusa. Maybe they should let her find her sister now, yeah?

"She's probably polluting the gene pool as we speak," Medusalith muttered, and shot an apologetic look at Blackagar. So much for swimming. "I have to--I have to find her."

His eyes moved just once over to Maximus to explain that he was going to have his hands full this weekend as well. The island seemed to conspire against them having a quiet evening alone.

This island. "Yes, I'm sorry, I--Maximus, it's so good to see you," she lied. "I have to go." And then she hurried off, so distracted her hair was moving quite a bit, trying to think: if she were her sister, where would she be?

That would be a seven-year-old girl -- or at least somebody who looked like one -- bouncing up to him.

"Hi!"

With his brother... somewhere in the library, Blackagar was left trying his best not to be worried about Medusa and Crystal.

So a small child was a bit far from his thoughts at the moment. Though, if you thought about it, Crystal did act rather young...

He waved down at her slowly.

"I'm Renesmee," she announced. "You're my Aunt Alice's roommate, so I wanted to meet you."

It was more talking than she usually did, but he wasn't family and she didn't know how well he'd take to he touching him and projecting into his mind. Plus you just didn't do that to strangers, anyway.

She might have only been a little kid, but even she knew that.

Ah! That made much more sense as to why a small... child was talking to him. Look, he didn't actually have experience with children. And probably never would.

Oh, Marvel.

He pulled out his notepad, writing down a quick:

A pleasure to meet you Renesmee.

"You don't talk?"

And then, a moment later:

"I'm sorry, that was rude." The little girl smiled sheepishly. "I hope I didn't offend you."

If she wanted rude, that would be wandering around the stacks, plotting to murder Blackagar and marry his cousin.

...yeah.

He smiled again, shaking his head before writing down:

I've been like this since I was born.

"Really?" She looked interested rather than shocked. "Is that kind of thing normal where you're from?"

Somebody would teach her not to ask so many questions someday. But not today.

Who was in his office (http://one-who-goes.livejournal.com/6517.html).

Mmmm. Saturday.
