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.

"Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about," Peter said. "I mean, no way would I ever read them because my brain goes numb if I try to read the blurb on the back, but still."

"How are they funny?" Peter asked, making sure to use the plural pronoun.

Peter just stared for a moment. "Let me see it," he requested. "I want to see this historical silliness."

Peter flipped to a random page. After reading for a minute, he looked up and asked, "Where is this set?"

"Okay," Peter said, thinking about this. "Then why is there a grizzly bear in this part? Grizzlies aren't native to Florida or Brazil."

"Where did a pirate get a grizzly bear?" Peter asked, letting a small laugh escape.

"Sure you don't," Peter said, smirking. "But I'm really curious about this. Will you tell me where a pirate got a grizzly if I bribe you?"

"I have three bucks on me, compliments to spare, and a kiss all ready to go. Any of those work?" Peter asked.

Peter leaned over the desk and kissed Zero. When he drew back, he asked,"So, how about that bear?"

"Where did an evil sheikh get a grizzly bear?" Peter asked.

"That... makes sense, I guess," Peter said, struggling with the logic.

"Well, where else would an eighteenth century evil sheikh get a grizzly bear who would later be a pirate's pet?" Peter asked. "The amount of sense it makes is completely relative, but it's there."

"I'm glad I could help with the swoo," Peter said, unsure of what he was actually saying. "Unfortunately, I think that's all the time for swooing I have. Class." He frowned slightly.
