Library | Saturday | July 23

[therewaslife]

It was still cold which meant Bod was toting a thermos of hot chocolate with him today. He made sure to keep it away from the books so any possible spills wouldn't ruin any literature but he felt like he needed it to keep himself warm today. After shelving the books, he tucked himself up behind the desk with a book and imagined a fireplace going behind him to keep the feelings and thoughts of warmth nearby

"New tights, socks, underwear..." She shrugged gain, taking a sip from the thermos. "You know. Stuff like that."

"All right," he said, holding up a hand. "Did you have an enjoyable time once you got to the mainland?"

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"Well, I had to dump like ninety percent of my clothes once I got there," she pointed out. "But after that, it was fun. I mean, dress shopping usually is."

"For you, perhaps," Bod laughed, smiling. "What are your plans for the rest of the day? Staying warm in your room?"

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"For most of it, anyway," Kate shrugged. "I'm still debating going into town for the evening."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

"To the party?" Bod wondered, looking mildly surprised.

"Well, it's actually more like fifty fifty between that and the Devil's Nest," she admitted. "Or, I guess technically more like twenty-five twenty-five, since one fifty is already taken up by just staying home."

"Caroline came into the diner yesterday and asked if I would be coming," Bod shared, reaching for his thermos so he could take a few sips.

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"Oh?" she asked, neutrally. "And what did you say?"

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

"I told her that I might," Bod replied. "She wanted to hear me sing and to try to get along with you, apparently. I told her I wouldn't be singing."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"I'm liking the odds of that other thing, either," Kate drawled. "I guess you sorted out your... thing, with her, then?"

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

At that, Bod shrugged. "I don't know. I mostly just had a pleasant conversation with her. It was nice. I told her I might stop in and then teased her about joining the military."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

Kate may have had Feelings about that, but she was being a good girlfriend and not articulating them, for once. "Okay then," she said lightly, even if it barely meant anything. "So, how's your day been so far? It doesn't look too busy in here."

Such a smooth transition from one topic to another, there.

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

Yes, Bod noticed that oh so smooth change of topic too. He let it go though and shrugged a shoulder easily.

"It's never too busy," he replied, glancing around. "It's quiet and I read a lot but other than that, what you see is pretty much what you get."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"Well, it's a library," she noted, reaching for the hot chocolate again. "I mean, the stereotypical thing is that even if there's people, it's quiet."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

"I know that but you did ask how my day was going," Bod pointed out with a light smile. "And I was just telling you that it's been quiet and non eventful. I suppose that's a good thing."

[Storm! BRB!]

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"And I was just noting that your day's pretty much been what could be expected," Kate retorted. "That's all I was doing."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

"Well, fine," Bod laughed, reaching out to flick her nose. "My day has been quiet but good as expected."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"Well, good," she replied, wrinkling her nose when it was flicked. "I just wanted to check. You know, to make sure you don't come back from work all bummed out or whatever."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

"Would you try and make me feel better if that happened?" Bod asked, smiling at her.

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"Of course, and for purely selfish reasons," Kate teased him. "You're staying in my room. I don't want you bumming me out."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

"Am I ever that sad even when I'm genuinely upset?" Bod wondered. "I try not to show it."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"What, you think I don't notice anyway?" Kate snorted, because she liked to think that she did. "Gee, thanks."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[therewaslife]

"That...isn't what I said," Bod replied, frowning. "I was just making a statement of how I cope. You do the same thing."

Re: Bod [Lib 07/23]

[vanillajello]

"Yeah but that doesn't really work on either of us, does it?" she returned, slight frown and all. "So, bumming out can still happen."
