Library, Sunday 10/02

All things considered, the good was definitely outweighing the bad this weekend. True, things had been tense between Karla and Surreal's visitor (understatement of the year), and there was no sign of her mother (which she hadn't held out much hope for), but she hadn't sensed the presence of her brothers or any other unwelcome visitors, and best of all, Jono was visiting.

She really didn't want to tear herself away to go open the library, but she couldn't shirk her duties either. And anyone coming to visit the library today might just get an empathic taste of the good mood she was projecting.

"I understand that," Raven said. "I have the same sort of memories of my own actions. But that does not mean I wish to know about what you and he did. He told me that you had an...encounter, and that is enough."

"Yes, ma'am." There was a nod, and then Seifer held up the books. "I should probably check these out and go bother Squall now."

"You do not need to call me ma'am, Raven will do," she said, taking the books and scanning them into the computer under Seifer's name.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?" she said, giving the books back to Seifer.

Seifer really shouldn't ask for a book that would explain to Squall why watching porn with your girlfriend's ex wasn't exactly done, but he doubted they made it.

It was still amusing and slightly confusing to think about. "Yeah. Do you have a book that will explain Squall?"

Raven wouldn't be sure just where that book would fall under the Dewey Decimal System if it did exist.

"I am not sure what you mean," she said. "Explain what about Squall?"

"Any of him, all of him. How his brain works?" Because he was betting he could turn it into a best seller back home.

"Sometimes I think he's cool with me being here, other times I think he's just an inch from running me through with one of his swords."

"He is difficult for me to understand," Raven admitted. "I sometimes sense his feelings are very strong, but he masks them. But he has become more open about them. I do not know him well enough to know the reasons why, however. I have only glimpses into his life."

"You've gotten more than the rest of us. For a long time after I first met him, I thought he couldn't talk."

And there was that whole standing in the rain thing. "Sometimes, I wish I was a telepath."

"He is very taciturn, yes," Raven agreed. "Though with people like that, when they do speak, it is usually to say something important."

She gave Seifer a curious look. "Telepathy can be more trouble than you might expect," she said. "Do you wish to read Squall's mind?"

"Sometimes, when he does that staring off into space thing, and you know he's having this long rambling conversation in his head, yeah."

Just so he could know what conversation had him saying 'whatever'.

"I have the advantage of being able to sense emotions, but not the reason behind them," Raven said. "It has made me wish sometimes that I could know the thoughts as well, so that I would better understand."
