Library [07/05]

Rory was only there because it was her job and she had to be. Had she had a choice, she'd have been at the hospital, library or not.

As it was, she was sitting behind the desk, attempting to read.

[up before bed so's I don't forgetinate! will pick up tags in the morning.]

"I know the feeling. Is everything okay?" she asked, slightly concerned.
nadiathesaint: (you don't know me)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"No." She shrugged. "Yes. I don't know. Did you listen to the radio last night?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"I caught the podcast this morning before heading in here," Rory replied, thinking hard about what she'd heard that wasn't about the beach party. "I was at the hospital last night...is this about Walter leaving to go on a mission thingy?"
nadiathesaint: (independant)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. A mission to Poland during World War II which, heyhey, it turns out really isn't a very nice place to be." Nadia sighed, shutting the book she was looking through. "And congratulations on the new sibling, by the way. I'm glad everything went okay."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thanks," Rory said vaguely. "Poland? Why? I mean, of all the places to go during that particular war...." She shook her head. "He'll be okay, though."
nadiathesaint: (emo)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"He will. He'd better. I know he can take care of himself, but. . . ." Nadia shook her head. "He's from that time period. And his boss back home wanted him to go on this mission to Poland. He really wanted to go, too. He was excited about it." She flipped the book back open, finding an image of the Warsaw ghetto. "He was excited about going into something like that. I just don't get it."

"I don't get it either," Rory said, shaking her head. "But then, if it's what he loves to do, it's a little easier to understand. At least, that's how I think of it when friends of mine and stuff go off and do dangerous things and try to give me gray hairs at the ancient age of seventeen."
nadiathesaint: (sad yet sexy)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Nadia sighed. "Yeah. It seems like a lot of people around here are like that." She closed the book again. "I've lived on the streets. I know that there are places that aren't nice in the best of times, and Argentina was just as bad as that not too long ago. I don't want him to have to deal with that stuff, but it's his choice."

Rory felt very silly for asking, but..."Does he have a way of contacting you to let you know he's doing all right?"
nadiathesaint: (emo)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Nadia shrugged. "His employer can always contact him, but I don't know if he can call or anything. It's not like they have email."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Rory sighed. "Well, that's annoying. Any idea on when he'll be back? 'Cause with the time flex, he could leave now and be back here by tonight, and have been gone for weeks and weeks as far as his perception goes."
nadiathesaint: (what?)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"He could?" Nadia shrugged. "He said he'd be gone for about a week."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Rory nodded. "Anakin was gone for about a month over winter, and it was three months where he was. And if Walter said he'll be back in a week, he'll be back in a week. And he'll be careful, since presumably he knows what he's doing."

"I hope so. He's kind of got a big ego, and he might underestimate whatever he's up against."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Rory smiled at that. "First rule of combat is to survive. He'll be okay, ego or not."
nadiathesaint: (split smile)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Nadia smiled back. "Thanks."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not a problem," she said. "Can I help you find anything else while you're here?"
nadiathesaint: (what?)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Can you tell me anything about the special collections? Jamie said that it had things about prophesies about the students and stuff."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"It does. Anything we have on record that's about another student is in there, anything dangerous, anything pornographic," Rory replied, ticking them off on her fingers. "But it's kind of dangerous in there, and students need a pass from a teacher to go in."

[Running off for a few hours; will pick up when I'm back!]
nadiathesaint: (emo)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Nadia nodded. "Good to know. I think I'll stick to the normal stuff for now, then."

[cool. talk to you later!]

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wise move," Rory told her with a nod."Last time I went in there, there was a genie who gave out manicures."
nadiathesaint: (eyebrow)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Manicures are good things, though."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but we almost didn't get to leave at all. Plus there's a dragon in there, too."
nadiathesaint: (Default)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Like the dragons at the go kart race? Or a real dragon?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not made of Jello," Rory clarified. "It was big and I'm pretty sure it breathed fire."
nadiathesaint: (riiiight)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"There really isn't anything on this island that works the normal way is there."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well. Yeah, even the normal stuff is weird," Rory noted. "I've used coffee to battle every single mosnter invasion we've had, for instance."
nadiathesaint: (eyebrow)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Does that really work?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"It annoyed zombies, and melted snow monsters and Jello, so, kind of," Rory said happily.
nadiathesaint: (grin)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll have to remember that." Nadia grinned, suddenly. "Is there anything coffee can't do?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm pretty sure that there isn't anything, nope," Rory said gleefully. "Or so I'm discovering."
nadiathesaint: (Default)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-05 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm going to have to start carrying it around with me."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-07-05 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Rory pointed to her cup. "Always been my philosophy."
