Library, Thursday [3/24]

Cassidy was relieved to find that the library was in a state of peace today. There didn't seem to be any squabbles of any kind going on in the stacks. She was convinced that it was because the different armies had taken her threats of shielding them and putting them in the children's section for a few hours quite seriously.

After she took care of any of the shelving and straightening that needed to be done, she withdrew to the desk with a few books on Akido -- and a travel book about Baltimore.

This could only end well. Really.

He liked talking to Cassidy about this - she had an innocent, naive point of view, which was nice in its way. And since she was a Queen, getting her to really think about it made him feel like he was doing something constructive.

Ben would be happy about that, Ender thought, with exasperated fondness. Then he banished the Jedi from his mind - he dwelled on him far too much these days as it was.

He nodded. "Though I think that might be enough heavy discussion for today," he said, with another quirk of his mouth. "I just tend to have a lot of questions."

She smiled. "I don't mind the heavy discussions. It gives me a chance to think about things from a different perspective or actually decide what I think or feel about the situation we're discussing. Besides, it's rather nice to have someone to discuss them with who has seen different things than I have -- or in the case of Agio, someone who was there."

She shrugged a little. "Besides, I like talking with you, Ender."

And whether she realized it or not, she was learning things from their conversations.

"And since I tend to have questions about everything, that puts you in good company." She grinned.

"It's when we start thinking we have answers that we get truly dangerous, I think," Ender said, shooting her an amused smile back.

Cassidy laughed lightly. "If we start thinking we have the answers, then someone may decide not to let us talk together any longer."

"Probably my roommate," Ender offered. "I think at the rate I'm going he might wind up throttling me one day."

Internally, he facepalmed at himself for hopping back to the topic of Ben that quickly.

Cassidy laughed. "Shira would probably be close to throttling me about the same time. She'd try to forbid us to talk and well, when that didn't work she'd resort to throttling." She tilted her head. "We should never let Shira and Ben talk. That would spell trouble for us for certain."

Well, at least Cassidy would have the advantage of not having a massive crush on her roommate.

Such crushes came with trouble and headaches galore. Ender could tell you all about it.

"If," he segued, neatly, "we ever claimed to have any answers. I think our best line of defense is avoiding the claiming."

Cassidy didn't have a roommate, so she was extra lucky in that. If she ever developed a crush on someone who was in Fandom, then there was the worry of far too many people being interested in those goings on.

If that happened, they could compare headaches!

"See, that's why I know you're a very sensible person," she grinned. "That would be the perfect solution."

"'Sensible'," Ender said, thoughtfully, then shook his head. "I think you just gave my sister an aneurysm."

She tilted her head. "Why is that?"

"Calling me sensible," he said, with a brief smile. "Sibling rivalry thing."

Sort of. Ender's family was complicated.

"Ahh. So she would be like Clayton when someone calls me wise," she grinned.

Well her brother was allowed to tease her like that, but he bristled if people outside of family said anything against her intelligence.
