Library, Sunday 04/15

Raven had heard about the meeting at Town Hall and was concerned about what it might be about, but she didn't want to abandon the library, either. She made a note to find out what was going on later unless someone came by later to share the news.

In the meantime, she busied herself with putting books away and generally tidying up the library before settling at the front desk to take yet another look at the recipe she had planned for the night and make certain she had everything she needed.

Yes, Jono could totally see how having a surprise ruined on him could be bad for his personal safety.

Oh, Raven.

"Well, then I'm looking forward to it," he decided, nodding faintly. "Whatever it is."

"I am certain you will enjoy it," Raven said happily. Once she got a few details hammered out.

She glanced about the library; no one other than Jono had come in all day, and from experience she didn't expect anyone else to come. "It is quiet and late enough that perhaps I can close down the library now," she said. "Has your kitchen been cleared of all life other than what belongs there?"

Jono grimaced a little, and then offered a shrug that was almost apologetic in nature, there.

"I did most of the cleaning last night, but there were still a few more things I had wanted to scrub down before dinner time," he admitted. "After the broadcast it was straight to Town Hall, and then from there... more or less in this direction. But if you wanted to come back with me now, you could pull up a seat while I finished up, if you don't mind just sitting around for a while."

"I must go back to my room to get a few things," Raven said. "I could take my time."

Her tone was still light and teasing; she suspected Jono was going overboard just a little with the cleaning.

Well, perhaps. He'd finished Rinoa's paperwork, and had found himself getting twitchy last night with nothing actually productive to distract himself with.

It was called a 'displacement activity.'

"No, no need," he sighed. "I don't think anything's too likely to come crawling from the garbage disposal, Fandom's insanity notwithstanding. I'll just give the kitchen another quick wipe-down, and it should be set for cooking in."

Raven understood the need for busy work. She'd spent more than one Sunday making sure the books were obsessively organized on their shelves to distract her from other things.

"Do you want to wait while I fetch what I need from my room then?" she said. "So we may walk to town together?"

"That would work," Jono decided, nodding faintly. "Might as well enjoy one more walk through town before all hell breaks loose tomorrow. I can entertain myself for a few minutes with whatever needs to be re-shelved, in the meantime."

Displacement. Activity.

"I will be right back then," Raven said. She took a step back and vanished in a puff of black smoke.

A few minutes later, she reappeared the same way, a bag slung over her shoulder. "I believe I have all I need," she said. "Are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be," Jono replied, setting the guitar magazine back down on the trolley that he'd pulled it from. Of course. What else would he pass a few minutes with in a library? There hadn't been all that much left in need of re-shelving, unfortunately. "Lead on, Sunshine."

Raven turned off the overhead lights and made certain the door would lock behind them, then offered Jono her free arm.

"Let us go, then," she said, as they began the walk into town.
