It is one of the hazards of a library.

[fill_the_blanks]

But now I have nothing to do.

[a_holy_oak]

Pick a different book then.

[fill_the_blanks]

I wanted thaaaat one.

[a_holy_oak]

And it's not here, as you've said, so you'll have to make do.

[fill_the_blanks]

You know one of the librarians right? How long can you check a book out. It's three weeks, isn't it?

[a_holy_oak]

At the most, yes. How long have you been waiting for this one?

[fill_the_blanks]

Eh, half a week...

[a_holy_oak]

Then you're not in much position to complain, I'd say.

[fill_the_blanks]

I don't check out books exactly because I know the library won't get it back if I did, so I'm gonna complain if I want.

[a_holy_oak]

I'm fairly certain Bishop Castor's rigging a system to deal with people who forget to return books after the alotted time. And complaining won't bring you the book you want.

[fill_the_blanks]

But if makes my feel better to share my frustration.

[a_holy_oak]

... you're not five, you know.

[fill_the_blanks]

Wanting others to know your feelings is completely natural at all ages.

[a_holy_oak]

Complaining about it just to share your misery is the province of the very young.

[fill_the_blanks]

And I feel terrible about it, but it has to be done.
