[Hermione has finally found the library and has surrounded herself with various volumes and books while quickly dabbing away notes on old parchment. The towers seem to never end, rows of finely stacked books keep filing around her. Beside her on what appears to be a very modified couch rests an empty space. She keeps turning to eye it nervously

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[audio]

[knowledgephilia]

[She just flinches at that voice.]

Such a foul tongue. You must be feeling better.

[audio]

[kuro_hasu]

Tch...

I'm fine.

[audio]

[knowledgephilia]

I'm glad.

[Awkward silence is awkward?]

[audio]

[kuro_hasu]

[He's an expert at making things awkward, thank you. Can you hear that? He's trying to say something but its mumbled at first.]

Matron says thank you...

For trying to help out at the infirmary.

[It's your own fault. Had you been nicer or showed more manners, this wouldn't be the case at the moment. She's assuming he's being stupid again and holding back because of his pride.]

You can tell them it was nothing. I did what I had to do.

[And now she's waiting for something else. Because she doesn't want you keeping your pride unbroken, you wouldn't learn anything from this experience.]

Hopefully I can be trusted now.

[... you're an evil woman. But sorry, this blockhead is tougher than you think. No, really.]

Pheh! You tell them yourself. I'm not a messenger.

And I don't know what you're talking about. Trust what?

[knowledgephilia]

[She's just going to have to crack that skull of his someday, then.]

You could at least spare me your ill moods, foolish boy. You're impossible!

[audio]

[kuro_hasu]

[A short pause.]

Anyway...

Thanks for the help.

Matron, I mean. She... [mumble, mumble.]

[audio]

[knowledgephilia]

Why is it so hard to say thank you to me, do you honestly think I would belittle such a gesture?

[audio]

[kuro_hasu]

Look. [His tone is a bit harsh.]

I'm an Exorcist of the Black Order. What you consider an act of good means nothing to me. I was doing my duty and you happened to be there.

I owe you no thanks.

If you want to make friends, you came to the wrong person. You're all the same to me.

Re: [audio]

[knowledgephilia]

You're duty certainly had nothing to do with almost dying and leaving a civilian in harms way, I'm sure.

If you won't give me thanks than show me respect. I'm no fool.

K-Kanda?

[And a sigh of impatience.]

I am not apologizing, if I offended you I suggest you speak.
