Library, Sunday

[gavegoodface]

Face only acted like a slacker who was more concerned with napping than anything else, okay, he genuinely liked the naps, but still, so while it was unusual for him to be not only awake but actually working behind the desk it wasn't anything to be worried about.

Or was it?

No, no it wasn't.

Re: Talk to Face

Face grinned. "I can think of a few things."

Likelihood of those things happening, kind of low.

Cassandra let out a loud sigh. "That week was not a template for every one of your library shifts," she said.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Can't blame a guy for hoping."

Because that week had been astral.

Re: Talk to Face

Cassandra had not spent nearly as much time in training that week as she should have. Cough.

"Ugh," she said succinctly. "You could at least maintain productivity until the end of your shift."

At which point she might be inclined to go there.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"I can be productive and talk to you." Not really, but he could at least fake it.

Re: Talk to Face

"You will get distracted teasing me," Cassandra pointed out. "We've met."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"We have? And here I thought you were an attractive stranger." Yes, prove her point for her, Face, good job.

"This is what I mean," Cassandra sighed. "It is charming, but stupid."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face looked abashed, really he did. "Here I was aiming for clever and charming."

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"Of course you were," Cassandra said dryly.

She leaned over the counter to give him a quick kiss.

This was not mixed messaging at all.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face somehow kept himself from pointing this out, probably because then he'd miss out on kisses.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

Possibly if at some point Cassandra stopped doing this, he would also stop the teasing she always objected to.

She lingered longer than she had planned, then pulled back and cleared her throat. "... As I was saying..."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"I'm handsome and charming and you're brave and beautiful?"

He was so smooth.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

Cassandra sighed. "Garik," she said pointedly, "How has your day been?"

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face shrugged. "Good," he said. "Better now you're here, of course."

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"Of course," Cassandra said lightly. "Flatterer."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Just because it's flattery doesn't make it untrue."

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"It also does not make it true," she said, shaking her head. "...Garik, what sort of paperwork is it?"

She'd held off this long, but alas.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face sighed and rubbed his eyes. "It's my flight school application," he said. "Well, closer to enrolment, since the only thing they're going to check is my credit and my health, and they're both fine."

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"Ah."

And now Cassandra wished she hadn't-- well, that was not true. Precious little was gained by ignoring reality. "I see," she said.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

It wasn't ignoring it, it was only letting it selectively intrude.

"It's not like I'm even submitting it for months yet," he said. "I just figure I wouldn't have to waste time thinking about it if it was already done."

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"That seems reasonable," Cassandra said, settling some. "You will remain here for the summer?"

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Planning on it," Face replied. "No point in rushing anything."

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"Good," Cassandra said quietly. "We will have to make the best of the time you are still spending here."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face gave her the saddest eyes possible. "Actually I was planning on descending into a pit of angst."
