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.

"Sparky is one of the pirate's pet."

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

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Zero knew the answer to that question, but it was in one of the previous books in the series, and she was sticking to her 'I haven't read the others' story. "I have no idea."

"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?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"That depends on what you bribe me with."

Re: Third Period

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

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Hmm." Zero pretended to consider. "I guess the third one would be all right."

Re: Third Period

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

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"They rescued it from the evil sheikh."

Re: Third Period

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

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"He bought it from the circus."

Re: Third Period

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

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Really? Because I don't know if it's even supposed to."

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"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."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Ohhhh, of course. When you put it like that, it makes much more sense. Relative sense, of course. I'm so glad I've got you around to give me the swoo."

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"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.

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Yes, class. Which other people who are not me have today. Go to class. Get more swoo."

Re: Third Period

"Swoo will be collected, yes," Peter said. He leaned over the desk for another kiss (this time non-bribey), and said, "Okay. I'll see you later."

And then he went to class, woe.
