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.

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

"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."

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

She shook her head. "Being emo sucks."

"You should try brooding."

"I'm better with whining, really."

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

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

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

Re: Fifth Period

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

Re: Fifth Period

"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."

"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.

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Not really," Angel admitted. "I'm not much of a shorts guy. Don't have the knees for it."

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Few do," Rory said solemnly.

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Ain't that the truth?" Angel sighed. He gave her a look. "You gonna be okay?"

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'll be fine," she assured him. "Seriously. Big girl, been through this before."

Re: Fifth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Call me if you need anything," Angel said. He got up to go because his player had to go to bed

Re: Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Will do," Rory promised with a thin smile.

Re: Fifth Period

Angel left.

Once his back was turned to Rory though, his face looked much more grim and serious.
