OOM: Milliways Library, for Dixie

[ikissdhimbck]

It's not just any library. Sure, as you step in it looks fairly ordinary - books, chairs, tables, so forth - but as you browse the aisles they seem to go on without end. Volume after volume, any book you could imagine and more. A universe of information crammed within these walls

Dixie's a surprisingly well-read sort of gal. You'd never guess it just by looking at her, but she has to keep a sharp mind to attract more generous patrons. Even freedom isn't free, as the old cliche goes.

She's got her nose buried in the Jules Verne, and is currently wondering how far into the future she should peek when she spies Kate. She approaches softly and then pokes Kate's shoulder gently.

"I don't think that'll turn them into diamonds. Not that I'm sure I need many more," she smiles.

She jumps, noticing movement from the corner of her eye moments before Dixie's gentle prod. Her hand goes to her hip on instinct, but she relaxes once she recognizes her companion.

"Miss Dixie. Lord have mercy, y'must've crept up on cat's paw!"

She resolves not to scold herself for her inattention until she's alone later.

Dixie can't help but smile back lazily. "More like sauntered, but I suppose it could be considered a creep," she smiles lightly. "Where has your mind gone, Kate?"

She lets out a long breath. It's not hard to pick up on the easy, calm aura Dixie's putting off. She knows when to take her cue, and twists her lips up in a smile.

"Good question," she chuckles dryly. "With a lotta answers. Though, I reckon the simplest is: I'm jus' distracted thinkin' 'bout other things."
