Library [12-8]

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

Dan didn't know why he braved the stinktastic bog outside the school to come here today. Maybe out of some nerd loyalty. Whatever the reason, he was here and pretending nothing weird was going on because denial was the best medicine. Or something.

Jono considered that one for a moment, as well. And then he shrugged his shoulders, a little bit lacking in the enthusiasm department, now.

//If they wanted any of us dead, they wouldn't be bothering to kidnap us,// he reasoned. //There's been no random demands, and nobody has really sustained any major injuries. I don't believe his life is in immediate danger.//

Ask him again if the sirens start.

Rinoa gave Jono a wry smile. "It's Squall," she said. "You don't think he could have thoroughly pissed them off by now?"

Maybe by trying to escape, maybe by ... well. Being Squall. Probably both.

//Point.//

Squall was... Squall. Yes.

//Yer not going to have an easy time of it, are you?//

Rinoa shook her head again before returning to her book.

"I'll be okay," she said. "Christian's helping, too. I need to learn to control this. I might as well start now."

She was going to control it, because she had to control it. Period. The end.

Jono contemplated that for a moment, and then nodded a little.

//Is it just self-control that yer worried about for now...?//

"Mostly," Rinoa said, lifting her shoulders. "That and, getting them back safe and sound. That's more important, isn't it?"

Really thin ice. She could tell just how thin. Dammit.

"Why?"

Re: Mod the Library

[furnaceface]

Lord, Rinoa. That was thin.

//Have you asked anybody for help, in Squall's place? Not to be yer knight, obviously. But at least somebody who can give you a touch of guidance...//

He didn't finish that sentence. The rest of the sentence would have been something like, 'in not going power-drunk and killing us all.'

Rinoa looked up at him, frowning.

"... Edea?" she said. "We can't talk to anyone off-island. I tried."

Edea had told her to get a Knight. Edea hadn't explained what to do when your Knight was abducted by goblins. Small oversight.

"Do you ... know someone?" she asked. "Here?"

Please? Because it was really thin, and all she had was ... the vague notion that she really shouldn't give in.

//Nobody that I've gone to personally for help with my own... troubles...// Being on fire? Troubles. Same thing. //But I do know that there are several students who would trust Professor Skywalker with any of th'same.//

Raven kind of swore by him, was the thing.

Re: Mod the Library

[angelo_wings]

Professor Skywalker. She recognized the name, and had a feeling she might even be able to put a face to it.

"I might ... go talk to him," she said.

It seemed weird, to dump her troubles on someone she hadn't exactly met before, but these were troubles that could easily be everyone's troubles, if she couldn't keep it together. Maybe Professor Skywalker wouldn't mind taking one for the team.

"Thank you."
