Library [08/01]

Rory hurried into the library and turned on the fan immediately before outfitting the desk with both a bottle of water and an iced latte.

With these fortifications, she was ready to spend the day there.

[SP from me for a little while - I have to run into work for a couple hours, and I'll answer all tags when I'm back omg.]

"I am going to be very bad at this," says Aeryn.

"Nah. And if worst comes to worst, you could beat up rude customers."

"That is a plus, actually," she says. "I wish I could do that to people now without getting punished."

"You could trick them into sparring with you," Rory suggested.

"I don't think any of them would fall for it anymore," Aeryn answers, sounding a little disappointed. "Maybe with the next batch of new people."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Some of them are stupid," she reminded her. She didn't think she needed to name names. "But yeah, maybe some new people will be better."

"I'm hoping," she says, shaking her head. "Um. Anyway, so, books?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Books!" Rory said, holding up the paper. "Maps are over there, and reference books are that way," she said, pointing. "Need help finding stuff, or want to venture into the stacks alone?"

Aeryn thinks about this, and decides, "You can start me off, how about that?"

Because the stacks are confusing and kind of scary.

Rory nodded, and led the way over to where she'd pointed for the maps. "Okay, Massachusetts is here," she said, pulling down a small atlas.

"Okay," she says, taking it to look through it. "It's very small."

"Most of New England is made of tiny states. You should see where I'm from," Rory replied.

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-08-01 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Where's that?" she asks, realizing that she doesn't actually know.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Connecticut," Rory said, pulling down another atlas. "Okay, this is the entire US. New England is really just best explained as being most of the long stemmy arm-like part of the US," she said, flipping the page. "There's Massachusetts, and there's Connecticut, and down here is Virginia, where we are."

Aeryn studies it, trying to memorize positions of things. When she's pretty sure she's got it, she asks, "Where's North Carolina?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Rory looked for a moment, and then found it. "There. And then below it is South Carolina."

Aeryn's never really studied the geography here, so actually being able to see where things are in relation to one another is pretty exciting for her. Especially when she knows the names of places. "What about Florida?" she asks. "Or Maine."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Florida's here at the bottom, the sticky-out one, and then Maine's all the way here at the top," Rory supplied immediately.

"Okay," Aeryn says, smiling a little as she's finally able to put it all together. "Got that. What next?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Rory gathered up both atlases and led the way over to the other books. "Okay, we have Massachusetts Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities, & Other Offbeat Stuff, and Massachusetts Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places," she supplied, pulling both of them off the shelf. "It's a very interesting place."

"Okay," she says, tilting her head to look at the pictures on the covers. "I think that's enough for now. It might take me a little while to get through them."

"You get to keep them for a couple weeks," Rory said, nodding. "And you can renew them if you have to."

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-08-02 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
"All right," she nods, holding her hands out for the books. "Thank you for this."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
"You're totally welcome," Rory said, handing over the books. "And if you have questions or whatever, let me know."
