...don't really look like a library man to you, do I?

I do not think that there is a specific "type" of man, or person for that matter, who attends libraries, my dear.

[insertbaldjoke]

Sure there is, otherwise "bookish" wouldn't be a word. Neither would "geek" or "nerd" or also, didn't I tell you to stop calling me "dear"?

[southern_pansy]

My memory is not what it used to be, it would appear.

But many people who do not fit such broad stereotypes come to libraries as well. You have come, in the very least.

[insertbaldjoke]

What can I say, piqued my interest. Felt like mixing it up some, maybe. What, you saw me coming?

[southern_pansy]

I see quite a lot, Ikkaku.

[insertbaldjoke]

Well, that just makes you sound like a perv. Mr. Fell, shady character! Wouldn't have guessed!

[southern_pansy]

Oh, I wouldn't want you to think of me in that way. I am a very simple man, by any means -- not at all interested in such things.

[insertbaldjoke]

You serious? But they're such! Interesting! Things!

[southern_pansy]

I would assume, with all the time that people spend on endeavoring in them.

[insertbaldjoke]

Guilty as charged?

[southern_pansy]

Then you would know.

[insertbaldjoke]

Know loads of things that wouldn't be in this here library, hey.

[southern_pansy]

Perhaps.

[insertbaldjoke]

And there's that disbelief again. Don't think I don't see it! It's there! Pretty girls don't like ambiguity, Mr. Fell, straightforward's where it's at.

[southern_pansy]

Alas, I have never been one for pretty girls. They are charming, to be sure, and often excellent conversationlists; but I often find myself at a loss of what to say.

[insertbaldjoke]

Didn't have you pegged as the type. So when someone says, "Hey, Mr. Fell, what's your idea of, eh, pleasurable company" you say...
