Library, Sunday

[gavegoodface]

Unlike last week, Face was not napping during his shift today. Instead he was alternatively browsing through various books from the poetry section and engaging in some very important research. Research that occasionally turned the tips of his ears pink.

"Isn't it merely your job to check in and check out books?" Cassandra asked. "In fact, I had started to believe it largely involved sleeping."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Way harsh, Cassandra.

"And to make displays," Face said. "I have to read them to know what to put out."

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"And you were planning to make a display of smutty poetry?"

Admittedly, that kind of thing would be rather popular under a subset of the student body.

... including Cass.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"It's a work in progress." Well now that he'd talked himself into a corner he was. "Of course I'll need some second opinions on what works."

Maybe that pirate girl who kept making the radio with her flirting would have some ideas.

Re: Talk to Face

Cassandra rubbed at her forehead. "You cannot be serious."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face only gave her his most innocent expression in reply.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"Ugh," Cassandra said. Predictably. "Give me the book."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Whatever you say," Face replied offering her the book. He had others.

Please remember you weren't allowed to stab school property, Cass.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

She wasn't allowed to stab some of the extremely valuable maps belonging to the Inquisition either, but did you think that had ever stopped her?

Cassandra took the book, squinting at him. "Is the school actually paying you for this?"

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face... had no idea.

"I think I get extra credit?" Not that marks really mattered at this school.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"That makes this somewhat more bearable," Cassandra muttered.

Somewhat.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"You're saying you don't like these kind of poems," Face asked.

So very, very innocently.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

Cassandra coughed.

"I am saying they are... inappropriate for your work hours."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face propped his chin up on his hands. "And my non-work hours?"

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"...T-those are not under discussion at the moment," Cassandra said.

She was trying to keep her Very Cross look here, Garik.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

That'd probably work better if Very Cross looks were more effective on him.

"But they could be."

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

Cassandra's answering disgusted noise was less of an 'ugh' and more of a 'grlkggkjlsjsdkjlsk'.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

It was probably a good thing that Face had enough self-control not to start giggling.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"I am leaving," Cassandra told him firmly.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Without even a goodbye kiss?"

Face Loran, you did not deserve one, you little shit.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

Cassandra rolled her eyes at him.

Then whacked him very lightly with the book.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face did start laughing after the book made contact. "Sorry."

It works better if you actually sound sorry, Face.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"You will make this up to me later," Cassandra said firmly.

Because she did not actually enjoy being cross at him and would welcome any excuse to stop being it.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Of course," Face agreed easily, because he enjoyed teasing her, not actually making her upset. "Just let me know what you want me to do, in my non work hours."

Or possibly he had a latent suicidal streak.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

Cassandra sighed loudly, wished briefly for a dagger she could deposit in the desk, then spun around and stalked out of the library.
