Library, Thursday All Day

[genesishero]

It was probably fair to guess that Evan was excited to be showing up for his first shift as a library aide, what with the way he'd made absolutely certain his hair was a little bit neater than usual before leaving his room. He was also wearing his fanciest clothing... which mostly consisted of his old Jean Grey School uniform, blazer and necktie and shorts and all. The important thing here was that he looked professional, right? His old school's crest wasn't emblazoned on the front or anything, so it would suffice.

Of course, the blazer and shorts combo meant that not ten minutes into his shift, some of the more recent periodicals were sneaking up to his desk and leaving themselves wide open on any section that prominently featured men's fashion. At first, Evan thought maybe somebody was teasing him and just hiding whenever he was looking, but then he actually caught a magazine in the act of scaling the desk, and he sighed.

"It's not that bad, guys."

The library is open! And the aide is wearing shorts whether the periodicals like it or not!

[Open!]

He was lucky that way!

She followed after him. "By the sounds of this," Yeul double-checked, "this is a step above just a picture book, right?"

That was preferable by far.

"It has pictures," Evan replied as they walked, "but it has write-ups on what the pictures are of, too. Planes and cars and scooters and bicycles and what they run on and when they were invented and stuff like that. I think there are even pages on skateboards and rollerskates and horses and wagons. It's simple stuff, but it is educational, I promise."
