Library, Sunday

[genesishero]

If anyone needed Evan today, they would have a little bit of spelunking to do. He'd come in to the library and immediately made his way into the stacks. He was going to hunt down mis-shelved books, that was what he was going to spend his way doing. Just looking over books. Alphabetizing. Mindless busywork.

And maybe hiding. A little.

"Hi-hi!" Merry said, snuggling a cheerful Ozzy in her arms. "Are you here to find my dad? Hi, I'm Merry!" Inspiration struck right then. "And I'm a junior librarian!"

"Are you?" Yeul laughed softly, clapping her hands together. "I am sure you're a very good junior librarian. I'm Yeul. Have you seen your dad around?"

"We're really looking for Mom," Flicker said, giving the girl a doubtful look. "Have you seen our Mom? And are you really a librarian? Aren't you too small?"

"Well, your mom's not here," Merry said, making a face. "The only people here are my mom and dad."

So take that, doubter face.

"And I'm no smaller'n you. Are you saying you couldn't be a librarian?"

Jackie might have taken after Ma the most, but Merry had flashes of her, too, when warranted.

"I don't want to be one," Flicker said haughtily. "That's boring."

"She's lying," Shard said, looking up from a magazine that he'd grabbed. "But you're not being very nice either."

"She started it." A common refrain, especially when one was siblings with Jackie. "Who're you?"

She was just going to ignore the girl. At least until she apologized.

"Shard Ballad," he said, holding out his hand to shake. "How do you do?"

Flicker sniffed and crossed her arms.

"That's Flicker," Shard continued. "And Mom says that blame doesn't help anything."

"Jackie Merry a Wade, but you can call me Merry," she said, shaking his hand. She couldn't expect him to know anything about Tryad naming conventions, after all. "Shard's a cool name."
