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!]

"I can put up with it for a day," Henry decided. "Thank God Clare left some clothes at my place, or I'd be stuck."

//Mm, I've got no idea what I would've done if this had happened to me too,// Jono confessed. //I was on th'school trip, myself. That would've been... awkward.//

Yes. Catching a portal while on fire with no clothing that fit. That would certainly have been an interesting way to spend his last day of vacation.

"I woke up like this on the train back from Chicago," Henry said wearily. "I had to do some fast talking to convince the conductors not to throw me off."

"How was the trip?" he added. "Before people started waking up with interesting new parts."

//It... wasn't bad, I supppose. I've learned that if I had been intended to snowboard, I would've been born with planks for feet.//

His bum was sore. He was not sharing that fact.

//I did better while I was playing my guitar in th'lobby of the hotel.//

"People throw money at you?" Henry guessed. He'd found Archive Monthly and was flipping through a fascinating how-to on perserving 19th century maps.

//A few, yes,// Jono agreed. //Which... I really wasn't expecting. I mean, I'm not even singing along.//

"Talent will out," Henry answered. "Besides, have you heard how bad most street musicians are? Probably people appreciated the lack of singing."

//Oh, lord. Buskers.// Yeah, Jono had heard one or two, in his lifetime. Here and there. At least. //I suppose that was more or less what I was doing. But without th'shoddy vocals.//

For obvious reasons. Still.

"See?" Henry said. "People were paying you not to sing. It's perfect."
