Library, [11/17]

[furnaceface]

Okay, so Jono was a little late getting himself into the library today for his shift, what with having to travel back from Vail and all, but he showed up as soon as possible, considering.

So soon, in fact, that he still had his bag of laundry and his guitar with him, both of which were sitting behind the desk while he set to work, re-shelving books and silently, very silently, chuckling to himself.

Once again, it looked as though he'd gotten off easy today, didn't it?

[Open library is just that! Open!]

"The island being what it is," she said dryly, "is it wise to say such a thing so loud?"

Was he attempting to give the island ideas?

//I'm under no illusions about the island, trust me,// Jono replied. //It'll get back at me somewhere down th'road for even thinking it. It always does. If nothing else, I suppose it keeps me on my toes.//

And made him miserable, generally.

"At least something does," Rosalind said, almost lightly. If you squinted.

//Takes a bit, dunnit?// Mmm, self-depreciating conversation. Jono was all over that. //A week off didn't hurt much, either. Though it looks as though th'library was quiet, too. Not much work here t'do, really.//

"With most of the island off at the resort?" Rosalind shook her head. "I would have been surprised if it had been busy."

//Well, it's... th'library.// Jono faltered a little, shaking his head. //Right, right. Break week. Even I wasn't here for it. But I'm not much of a fan of seeing all of these books ignored for a week like that.//

So sue him.

"They're books," she said incredulously. "They do not have feelings."

//Tell that to th'ones that were making music the other week,// Jono noted. //Or that amorous one about giraffes that followed me about that one time.//

They were books, sure. But they were Fandom books.

"Next you'll be buying them chocolate and flowers," she answered, dryer than before.

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//No chocolate,// he replied, casually. //They'd get it all over their pages, and they'd be entirely illegible. I'd have to replace them. Flowers... maybe. For the encyclopedia sets and other heavier books, perhaps.//

They were the best books to press flowers in, after all.

"And for the others?"

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//I suppose you'd give me a nasty look if I suggested that giving them bookmarks would probably be about the equivalent of gifting them with fancy underthings, mm?//

It seemed about as much to Jono, at least!

"I am not even sure I care to know the logic behind that particular decision," she said, sounding disapproving.

//Then I won't share,// Jono replied, because he was a kind individual, really.

And also because he didn't want to get smacked.
