Library is Open, 4/5

Zero opened up the library, as was usual for her on Wednesdays, and briefly disappeared into the stacks looking for something to occupy her time. She returned with The Pearl Blade, the third in the "Jewels of the Caribbean" series by Angelica Demesnes, her new favorite author.

Rory shuffled in, looking both tired and blotchy, and carrying a huge cup of coffee.

She took a seat and proceeded to stare blankly into space, ignoring even the glorious nectar of caffeine before her.

Rory shook her head and wrote something down, sliding the paper over to Zero.

Broke up.

Rory smiled, scrawled something back, and passed it back.

Nah. I broke up with him. No need to be all mean and mallet-y

But I don't want a new boyfriend.

Rory drew a little sad face beside the statement.

Angel came in on a quest for more research. Spotting Rory, he swung by her way. "Hey. How's it going?"

"I'm fine," she said.

Didn't take a genius to figure out she was lying.

Angel, who actually hadn't noticed her being off before, did a double take now.

He sat down across from her. "What happened?"

Rory repeated the process she had gone through with Zero moments before, and wrote something down on a piece of paper, sliding it over to Angel.

Anakin and I broke up.

It was by sheer miracle that the tiny gerbil that powered Angel's brain remembered that he shouldn't reply to that comment out loud.

Instead he grabbed a pen.

Why?

Had a fight. And Obi-Wan's coming, and all. Right thing to do.

Rory chewed on her lip as she slid the page back over.

Angel quirked an eyebrow at that.

Fight?

About how it's my fault, and stuff.

Both eyebrows now.

How is it your fault?

It just is. I should have stopped it. I knew better.

Rory gave a helpless little shrug.

Angel seemed remarkably calm all of a sudden.

That's what he said?

Rory nodded.

He's right, though. And he was kind of drunk.

You okay?

Arguably a stupid question but sometimes you had to ask anyway.

Rory went with honesty this time.

Not really, no.

Angel shifted over to sit beside her.

Hug?
