Library, Sunday

For a change, Face was not napping behind the service desk, because Cass had been kind of insistent about that, so instead he'd refilled the caf pot (again) and was rearranging the books on the 'Welcome Newbies' table again (some more).

Lucille had yet to grasp that worlds in this case meant different planets.

"Do you prefer one over the other?" she asked.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Not really." Face shrugged. "Pantolomin's home, but I haven't been back in a while, and I've got family on both."

She gave a small nod in response, and then looked at the shelf, running her fingers across the back of the books. Pulling out one at random, she showed to to Face.

"Have you read this one?"

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Oh, hey, he'd been wondering where that one got to. "I have," he said. "It's more on the risque side than others."

"Oh? In what way?"

No, Lucille wasn't blushing.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"The author is very fond of words like 'turgid manhood" and takes very opportunity to use them."

So there wasn't a whole lot of plot there.

Lucille's blush deepened No, in fact she turned bright red, trying to figure out how to get hold of that book without Face knowing about it. Perhaps it would still be there of Friday?

"I guess I shouldn't... I mean..."

"You know, I just remembered that there was a re-shelving emergency," Face said, because those were very common and an actual thing, yes. Nothing to do with any blushing. "Do you think you can handle checking out your own books while I take care of that?"

Re: Talk to Face

[crimson_sister]

It was kind of him to make up an excuse.

"Oh, of course I can!" Lucille picked out a few other books at random, just so that it would seem less obvious.

"Thank you for your help. I very much appreciate it."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Any time," Face said, with a half bow, before heading off into the stacks.

Lucille quickly made her way to the desk and checked out what had turned out to be a quite large pile of books. It would hopefully last her some time.
