Library, [01/09]

[furnaceface]

Jono was perhaps a bit distracted today as he went about his duties in the library, straightening out this and that, making certain that the displays were all in order, checking for overdue books and, failing all of that, dusting.

And if he just so happened to be lingering in sections that had books on things like demonic possession, well, that was purely coincidence, really.

Truly.

//Pillows aren't half as interesting,// Jono pointed out.

Also, he wasn't exactly dating a pillow.

//And I haven't gotten to th'killer pillow section, just yet. I'm not certain where that would be, under th'Dewey Decimal system.//

"Tsk tsk," she replied, slightly amused. "You don't know where everything is here?"

How shocking!

//Well, it is a rather large library,// Jono noted, shrugging a bit. //And would killer pillows be categorized under Science? Religion? It's something of an obscure topic, really.//

"Try the section for 'Weird'," she suggested. "And then narrow your search to 'Fandom Weird'."

Jonothon raised his eyebrows faintly.

Darn you, Rosalind. Making sense like that.

//Well, that's not typical Dewey Decimal,// he settled on. Which made it all better, so neener? //But I suppose yer logic works.//

And conveniently steered the conversation away from 101 Ways You Might Be Possessed.

"My logic always works," she informed him. "As logic tends to."

Which was a lie. Rosalind's logic did not always work according to normal logic.

Rosalind's logic was certainly not Earth logic, at least.

And Gaian logic was special.

//Well, we'll see if there is anything on death-pillows before you start gloating about it too much,// Jono replied. Because he was certain that Rosalind was totally the gloating type. //In th'meantime, I'll let you have th'benefit of th'doubt.//

He was so very kind.

She absolutely was.

"How kind," she said dryly. "How have you been, demonic books aside?"

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

//Aside from th'peculiar reading material? I've been...//

It was probably never a good sign when he had to stop to think about that.

//Sitting at about par with th'usual, I suppose. Only one teacher made horrified faces at me when I spoke this week. That's better'n I expected, really.//

Re: Talk to Jono

"And rude of the teacher," she sniffed.

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

//Perhaps. But I think I put him in his place well enough.//

Because nothing ended a conversation as well as 'good man. Now carry on.' It was practically British law.

"And how did you do that?" she asked curiously.

So sue her, she was interested.

Re: Talk to Jono

Jono actually let himself look a little amused, then.

//I informed him that I simply have a mellow voice, and offered to speak up, so that we could be certain that he hadn't gone dumb,// he replied.

Jono was so very kind.
