Library, Sunday

[unusual_sith]

Lana came in to the library today and had barely settled back with a book about recent Earth history when another book...peeked, if one could call it that...over the edge of the desk. Then another.

She set her current book down. "Yes? Can I help you?"

They both immediately threw themselves on the desk hard enough they slid right off the other end and into her lap.

"Oh! Did you -?" They both fluttered their pages and settled in.

Lana blinked at them. "Well, all right."

She picked up the book she was reading and went back to it. After a while, another book came up to the desk and dropped into her lap. She sighed, but let it. Apparently that was her lot today: being slept on by books.

But the library was open! If she had to kick them off, she would.

Sidon had some books to return tucked under his arm, suspected he'd leave with perhaps a few more, and he'd wanted to speak with Lana, besides.

"Hello, Lana!" he greeted her as he came in, forgetting, as always, that a thing like library voices existed. "How has your day been? The books aren't giving you too much trouble, I should hope?"

Honestly, half the fun of coming in to the library was discovering what hopefully harmless trouble the tome were getting themselves into on any given day.

"Hello, Sidon." She smiled up at him. "Not too much trouble, but they apparently want to sleep on me."
