Library, Sunday 05/06

[trigons_child]

After making sure everything in the library was in its rightful place, Raven settled behind the desk to go over what she was planning to take with her when she joined Karla in Kaeleer. She thought she could feel a certain malevolence coming from the section containing books on flowers for some reason, but dismissed it as her imagination when no roses or gerbera attacked.

No one had probably noticed it yesterday, but there had been an ape in the library. An orang-utan, to be specific, and he had only been there briefly. But something had brought the Librarian back to Fandom High, and that was the unmistakable call of untended books. Not completely untended, of course, but he knew a library that had been without a librarian for more than a week when he saw one. It turns out that the L-Space provided to be very helpful, and he was back, this time to stake his claim.

So please to not be minding the orang-utan emerging from Special Collections with a bunch of books underneath his arm, swinging up to the aides' desk, and putting them on top of it with a very clear instruction of, "Ook ook. Ook ook ook."

And then he took a second to inspect the aide on duty today, rubbing at his chin with a big finger and gave a relatively approving, "Ook."

Raven was momentarily startled with the orangutan came out of Special Collections. For a brief second she thought maybe the Brotherhood of Evil had come to attack her again, but no, that had been a gorilla, much bigger, and he wasn't accompanied by a robot with an exposed brain. Her canon was cracky sometimes.

"Hello," she said with a pleasant smile. She couldn't understand his words, but she could sense no danger from him and assumed he was a new student. "May I help you? Did you have permission from a teacher to be in Special Collections?"

The Librarian narrowed his eyes at the girl for a moment; he was, after all, part of a very special collective of Librarians that had the ability to cross the L-space; he hardly needed permission to get into the Special Collections. Clearly, he would need to meet with these aides and let them know what was what if he was going to keep this library going.

He sighed, headily, shaking his head, and he patted the books. "Oook ook," he said, pointing to the regular shelves. "Ook ook ook ook."

A few little books had lost their way, and he'd put them back himself if there wasn't a nest to be built in his new Office.

"Of course, I would be happy to shelve the books," Raven said, picking up on his meaning and pulling the books toward her. "It is part of my duties here. Is there anything else with which I can assist you?" The language barrier might be a problem, but she'd do her best to understand.

Nodding in approval of the task being taken up, the Librarian waved his hands a little to show that that was all. "Ook ook," he said, and then put his knuckles to the ground to help him set off in the right direction for the office, where he would be if he was needed for anything. "Ook ook ook."

Raven was about to call out that he really wasn't allowed in the librarian's office, but she sensed his confidence as he moved in that direction, as if he belong there, and her cheeks flushed pink as she realized her mistake. He wasn't a student; he was the librarian. Oops.

Well, she was glad to rectify that mistake. She picked up the books and scurried about the shelves to put them in their proper place, wondering if she should send a note to her fellow library aids to let them know.
