Just outside of Special Collections and beyond [Wednesday late afternoon]

Belle couldn't believe it had taken her this long to think of this. She blamed the exhaustion clouding her brain, but a possible answer was looming there at the other end of her library.

Of course they hadn't found anything, out here where the books she understood lived. But why would they? These books dealt were normal, and while they spoke of otherworldly things, Belle knew where the dangerous material was kept.

So she'd emerged from her office (nearly tripping over Gabrielle's gift (and her heart melted a little at the thoughtfulness, but this wasn't the time), tying her hair back and looking more awake than she had in a week. She stopped by the circulation desk to tell Gabrielle to keep things under control here as she moved towards Special Collections and stopped at the edge of the entrance in.

She wasn't stupid enough to go in alone, but she also hardly wanted to drag anyone else in. So she cast a glance around, hesitating. She'd only pause a minute, but she needed to see if there was anyone else she could or would take with her. The idea of bringing in students caused her to pause a fair amount.

[for our intrepid team, and please hold for OCD is up, even if lj bloooows.]

"Then it'll survive contact with my foot, unless it doesn't listen," Parker responded. "For all you know, that book could be poisonous. Or possessed. I wonder if that copy of the Necromicon is still in here?"

Feel the withering look, Parker. Feel it.

And now Wesley was just going to go ahead and speed up. Oh, how he disliked her already.

Parker smirked. Hey, if she couldn't torment the one who blamed Zero for turning into a cat, might as well irritate the one who was right there.
