Library, 3/21

Angela gets to the library early (for her) and (mostly) refreshed.

Of course, the enormous coffee she's carrying might help explain why she seems refreshed.

She's brought in some donuts from Jeff, God of Biscuits to share with the other aides, and maybe any friends who might stop by. She hopes she'll get to talk to the new librarian some more as well.

The library is open for all your bookish needs.

"Yeah. That's about where I'm at." Parker hugged herself again. "I just-- it's important. Maybe I don't have to tell him what's going to happen. Maybe I can just tell him what not to do? She didn't make me promise anything about that."

"Maybe?" Angela said. "But what would you do if he asked you questions, and answering them would break the promise?"

Parker's shoulders slumped. "I don't even know if it would make a difference," she said, mostly to herself. "Or if I want to break the promise to get back at her, or because maybe it's the right thing to do." She looked tired. "Right. Must think about this some more." She found a smile, and took a bite of her donut. "It's not urgent. There's still some time. He's here 'til May, it won't happen before then."

Angela nodded. "Think about it. I mean, who knows, you might help him?"

Then she noticed the cat hair on Parker's slacks. "Hang on," she said, and went to get a paper towel. "Did you visit Rory or Angel or something? Because there's hair all over you."

"What?" Parker looked down, then stood up, cursing. "Oh, god. M. That's been there all this time? Oh, fabulous."

"It's only second period?" Angela said hopefully. "I'm sure nobody noticed. Who's Em?"

"Jarod's kitten. I must have sat on something at his place, or she brushed against me last night--" Parker facepalmed.

Angela's eyes went very, very wide.

"You were at Jarod's?" she squeaked.

"Sshhhh! Do you mind?" Parker gave up and sat down, glaring at the cuffs of her slacks. "I fell asleep, it's no big deal."

Her voice is calm, her expression is fine, and she's slowly turning fuschia.

And, because she really, really likes Parker but is still a tiny bit afriad of her?

Angela doesn't say anything, at first. She just squeaks and bounces again.

Then she attempts to compose herself. "Oh."

But she's still grinning.

Parker is looking everywhere but at Angela, and just kind of muttering. "Damnit. Go to all the trouble of fixing the hair, getting a new shirt, rushing to class, and Agent M thwarts me. Definitely Jarod's cat." She rolled her eyes.

Yeah, that's magenta.

"Soerry?" Angela said. "So nothing ... happened, with you guys."

"What? NO!" Parker puts her hands over her face. "I would have planned it much, much better than this! For a weekend! With a satin nightgown and a change of clothes and... Maybe I've given this too much thought."

Angela held up two fingers, a tiny bit apart, and slowly nodded. "Tiny bit," she said.

"And for something which I have no indication will ever happen? That's just sad." Parker put her head down on the counter. And started laughing.
