Library, Thursday All Day
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!]

Re: Talk to Evan!
"... Really?"
Look, getting compliments was still a bit of a novelty for the kid. Especially compliments from pretty girls. Doubly so for ones that weren't teasing.
Re: Talk to Evan!
"Yeah," she said, all defiance still. "I do. And you're fun."
So there.
Re: Talk to Evan!
"Oh," he replied, blinking. "Well... so are you. Fun."
Re: Talk to Evan!
"I--oh." There was almost a mental screech as her brain shifted gears. "Uhh, thanks?"
Less like a question, Sholeh.
Re: Talk to Evan!
"You're welcome," he replied, smiling warmly. "And it's true. You wouldn't mind if I were to visit you during your shifts here, would you? I mean... to talk about books, and things? If I'd just be in the way you can tell me, I'd understand!"
