Library [10/21]

[faithandscience.livejournal.com]

William had been surprrised- but pleased- to find a handwaved message from the librarian asking if he was still interested in a position of an aide. Which, really- spend the whole day surrounded by books? Of course William was all for that!

As it was his first day, today William could be found behind the desk, familiarising himself with the tasks required for the job.

"Of course not," William nodded agreeably enough. "But all the same, I ought to haev some experience with it, should I be called upon to assist a fellow student." He didn't neccessarily want to venture in there right now, but perhaps once he'd thought of a suitable topic to research...

Henry put his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels in thought. "Come up with something you want to look for back there, and I'll walk you back next week or the week after," he proposed.

He'd just kind of hope the place wasn't in a hungry mood. Maybe make a few cake sacrifices. Anemone always said it liked cake.

"I shall!" William beamed at the librarian. "Thank you, sir." Not that he'd have snuck in without permission. No, he just would've gotten Mr. Holmes to write him a note for that purpose.

Henry waved vaguely. "Anytime," he said. "Is there anything else about the library I can show you to help you settle in? Coffee pot is in the staff kitchen."

Because lord knew that had been what he wanted to know his first day.

"...Coffee?" William repeated a bit blankly. It hadn't yet caught on outside of certain circles in Canada, none of which a fifteen-year-old orphan belonged to.

"Beverage of the gods?" Henry said, with some alarm. "The only way I make it through the morning?"

He tapped his fingers on the desk. "I can show you how the machine works," he offered.

"I manage quite well with tea- machine?" yeah, figures that that would be what caught William's attention.

Henry blinked. It seemed a pretty small thing to get excited about, but if it floated William's boat...

"Let me show you," he said, and lead William back to the small break room. Where, in fact, a perfectly ordinary eight-cup coffee maker sat on the counter. "You put the coffee in here..." He explained, going through the process slowly.
