Library, Thursday [2/12]

[wildandbrave]

Cosette had certainly lived without electricity before, so that in and of itself wasn't necessarily too off-putting for her, and it wasn't that she was scared of the dark, but . . . being mostly left to her own devices in the cold and dark brought her back a little too closely to her childhood.

She had a slightly unhappy expression on her face as she went about her library duties today by the light of a battery-powered lantern (no fire near the books, thank you, and she wasn't going to run down her precious phone battery using that as a flashlight all day), and left the front doors propped open just so she wouldn't feel so isolated.

She was actually glad today that the droid baby kept wanting attention; it kept things from getting too quiet, and helped her keep her mind off of other things.

"Reporters who like to hide and jump out at famous people," Bob explained. "A lot like the squirrels, but more annoying. And human. Supposedly."

"Oh." Cosette took a moment to consider that, frowning. "And take their pictures, do you mean? I don't think the squirrels are that bad, and anyhow, we aren't famous here, not really."

Most of them, anyway. As far as she knew.

"Yes," Bob agreed. "And I suppose we're all famous to the squirrels. We loom large in their tiny lives."
