Library is Open, 4/5

[swerval_zero]

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 would have pointed out that water is often bad for clothes, and she would have felt badly.

But she wasn't so she didn't.

Angel would've pointed out that clothes could be replaced if they had to, but Rorys were one of a kind.

Had she mentioned it, which she didn't.

Re: Fifth Period

Rory would have still felt bad. Because she's Rory.

But she wasn't crying, so it didn't matter.

And that's why her shouder's weren't shaking at all. Really.

If they had been, Angel would've stroked her back and her hair.

Rory lifted her head and totally would have swiped at her eyes if she had been crying at all. Which she hadn't.

"Thanks," she mumbled.

Re: Fifth Period

Angel gave her an extra squeeze. "Just a little thing I do."

Re: Fifth Period

"You didn't have to, though," she said. It might have been a sniffle.

Re: Fifth Period

"Not to make fun of you or anything but boy you could not be more wrong if you tried, Gilmore."

Re: Fifth Period

"It's true," she argued. "You don't have to put up with me being all sad."

[*scurries off to yay birthday fun, will be back later omg*]

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nope, wrong, wrong, wrong," Angel said. "Queen of wrong. It's very sad, really."

[ooc: yay birthday!!]

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"How am I wrong?" Rory asked, confused.

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Because this is what Angels do," Angel said. He then mock-waved it off. "It's a whole destiny thing, really. Not worth going all blah blah blah about."

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Cute play on words," she said quietly. "Thanks, anyway."

She shook her head. "Being emo sucks."

"You should try brooding."

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'm better with whining, really."

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Never really got into whining," Angel admitted. "Too Anne Rice, you know?"

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nodded solemnly. "Works for me, though, as I am wee and pale and all."

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Ah, see, being pale I'm very good at," Angel said. "Lotta practice there."

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Rory asked, cracking a tiny smile. "You know, they have those spray-on tan things now."

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but orange isn't a good color for me."

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"They don't end up orange if you do it right."

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Hey, if I had a tan I could wear shorts."

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory paused.

"I think it's good that you stay pale," she said seriously.

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel gave a wry grin. "Really don't want to see me in shorts?"

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Do you want me to want to see you in shorts?" she replied, wrinkling her nose a little.
