[Thread] “I'm quite illiterate…”
Who: Fai frigid_joy and Kurogane sword_miko
What: Research time! Then Kuro-bell comes as a much needed distraction.
Where: The Library!
When: Mid day!
Warnings: A short bit of angst, Yelling, Shushing
She once liked the library. Her father had a large one in his home and allowed her free range in it. She would to spend hours and hours just curled up in a chair with a pile of books. Father would scold her about wearing out her eyes. Then bring her another blanket, quietly pointing out which book she was reading today that he particularly enjoyed.
Now Fai hated the library. This one was bigger then her father’s, less stories and more facts. Which is what she needed really. But it would still fail her… No. No it wouldn’t. It couldn’t. She had to…
Fai shut the book of medical flowers of the high mountains with a sigh. She’d been coming here every day she could to look through these books. And nothing. She couldn’t handle more then five hours a day in this place. It was so quiet… Fai hated quiet. It was quiet after her twin was taken away. Quiet when she walked through her town as the others stopped talking to stare, fearing too much contact with her would kill them. Quiet after Father killed them. Quiet when she put him into that sleep.
She reached out slowly to pull a book down from her pile and opened it to the first page. Fai shivered, pulling her lighter coat closer as the silence continued to eat at her being. Maybe she’d go back to the inn soon, at least there were always some sort of noises there.
