Library [10/21]

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.

"There's nothing wrong with reading novels," William said quickly. "Really, I mostly take issue with the idea that the act itself is not an enjoyable activity. Why, so long as one is reading..." he trailed off, realising he was about to go off on a tangent.

Hopefully he wouldn't find out about the existence of the Dusk series too soon, or he might revise his opinion about all books being equally valid.

William... was fairly sure his father wouldn't know what to do with a book if one were placed in front of him. "So, let's see this list you have so far, then?"

Rilla's list, written in a neat hand, trended heavily towards romantic poetry and Arthurian legend, with a smattering of Grimm's Fairy Tales.

"What else should I add?" she asked.

"Is Faramir from... this world?" William asked. The words still felt a bit odd on his tongue, even after nearly two months.

Rilla shook her head. "His world has elves in it!"

"Elves?" William echoed. "Truly? As in the creatures from stories that... make shoes and the like?"

"I asked, and he said he wasn't altogether certain of their workaday habits, though they were accounted great craftsmen," Rilla replied. "I asked him about Santa."

"You didn't!" William gave her a delighted grin. "And what did he have to say?"

"He didn't recognize the story, and then we got a little distracted as I explained the North Pole," Rilla replied.
