Library, Thursday (11/13)

[wildandbrave]

Johnny's warnings from last night notwithstanding, Cosette came into the library this morning with plans of finding and reading the book that was the basis for the movie that had been on in the common room.

It was funny how, every time she had a spare moment and planned to head into the fiction section to find it, there would be a disturbance somewhere else in the stacks and she'd have to go reshelve books or mediate some petty but contentious standoff between genres.

Not that she was aware of it, but the library was looking out for her. Aw.

"I don't know," Scott admitted. "I'm thinking about going to veterinary school, after I graduate," he admitted. You know, assuming he lived that long given the whole werewolf- thing. "I know a lot about helping animals already- I worked part time at a clinic back home, and for the shelter here for a while. But I want to... expand my horizons, I guess? Make myself look all well rounded and stuff."

"I don't know much yet about how universities here work, I'm afraid," Cosette said apologetically, "but that's all right, we can find that out. So you want to take care of sick animals! That's lovely, I'm glad. There's so many people who think they needn't bother looking after animals as well as they do themselves, and it's awful."

Yes, she was still sad about the Thénardiers' dog, eight or nine years later.

Well, to be entirely honest, Scott wanted to take care of everyone, human, animal, or supernatural creature (so long as said supernatural creature wasn't making the conscious choice to hurt anyone he cared about, which, as already mentioned, was everyone.) But people medical school was far too expensive and besides, there were lots of people who wanted to be doctors already. "Yeah, I've dealt with lots of animals that were just abandoned because their owners couldn't figure out what was wrong and they didn't want to deal with it and it just sucks, you know? Because it's not that hard to pay attention, honestly."

"It shouldn't be, no." Cosette almost never got angry about anything, and she wasn't exactly angry now but there was a definite element of vehemence to that declaration. "You'd certainly think it oughtn't be. Not everyone seems to feel the same way, though."

Which she still didn't get, and which still upset her.

"So I'm glad there are people like you who want to be able to help."
