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.

Re: Talk to Evan!

Did you know serious conversations were hard to have with kids around, Evan? Because they were hard to have with kids around.

"Hi, Uncle Evan!" Shard said, having followed Mom. "You're so little right now! Are you feeling okay?"

An important lesson to learn! Evan blinked up at the boy and gave him a tiny smile.

"I've been better," he admitted. And he certainly felt small, right then. "But I'll... be fine."

He wasn't completely convinced. But he could smile for the tiny child. That, he could do.

Yeul smiled at the both of them, though her gaze lingered on Evan for a moment longer.

"Evan," she said, "I was actually looking for Sholeh. This is... Shard, her son."

And Yeul's too.

"Oh, um..." Evan gave Shard a little smile. "Hi, Shard. Nice to meet you."

A beat.

"I mean, to see you. Again. Because we totally know each other, right?"

He had just called him 'Uncle,' after all.

"Sholeh's in the stacks," he added, looking back up at Yeul, "so you came to the right place. She came looking for me with some of hers and mine."
