I think people in general tend to automatically forgive other people for the things that happen during curses. Whether you've been here a week or a year. That doesn't really stop people from

Probably enough people have asked if you're alright by now. You need anything?

[primrosella]

I'd like to hope so. Still, I think it bears repeating every once in a while.

Oh, I'm managing all right. I think just staying in and getting plenty of rest will be the best thing to do at the moment, really.

[adamantined]

I think it's nice as far as friendly reminders go.

I heard orange juice is supposed to be good for that kind of thing.

[primrosella]

I just hate to see misunderstandings lead to people feeling so bad, both during them and in the aftermath. And the hardest curses to forgive are always the ones that need it the most, it seems.

I think I have some, and Tamaki suggested soup, so I think I'll have a little of both and that will be just right. For now.

[adamantined]

Yeah, I think so, too. Especially when we're trying to forgive ourselves. More than people forgiving us and curses and forgetting about it, sometimes I think it's harder to do on a personal level than it is on any other. But we're a resilient collection. I think things will get put right.

You sure you didn't just hold your thermometer up to a light bulb to get out of Library duty?

[primrosella]

Admitting that there was really nothing you could've done is always difficult, no matter the circumstances. And I think there'll be a lot of those admissions after the curse is over, too. Still, I'll be glad when all this is over with. Things were going so well this month, too, before all this mess came about.

Oh, I'm fairly certain I did nothing of the sort. I like the Library far too much to try to get out of working there.

[adamantined]

Speak for Messes in this place always have a way of working themselves out, for the most part. Things'll get back to their version of normal eventually.

They're working on rebuilding it or something, right?

[primrosella]

And until then, we'll all just have to keep hoping. It'll be all right.

Yes, and rewriting the books that were lost, too. Half the building was destroyed, and there was a fire that caused a great deal of damage, so we're all working hard to get things set back to rights again.

[adamantined]

I'd say I'll keep my fingers crossed, but that just makes it sounds like it needs the extra luck.

I heard there were monks doing all the rewriting work. Pulling thoughts out of people's heads and stuff.

[primrosella]

After last Friday, I think we could use all the luck we can get.

Yes, they are. And they're rather nice monks, too, just a bit...well, quiet. They don't like to be bothered, which is perfectly understandable, really.

[adamantined]

Don't remind me.

I don't know how much I like the thought of someone pulling something out of my head but... that actually does kind of remind me -

If you're feeling up to it, maybe I could bring by a movie to watch? I owe you the one, at least.

[primrosella]

As long as he doesn't follow you--but no, he wouldn't have anything to suspect by you, would he? And having someone else around--

I'd like that very much, if you don't mind that I might be terrible company. I'm a bit...well, out of sorts today, but I don't think it's anything, er, catching. And I wouldn't mind having someone to talk to, either.

[adamantined]

It wouldn't matter if you had something catching or not, but I doubt you'll be terrible company either way. And that's kind of the good thing about watching a movie. No one really has to talk unless they want to.

[primrosella]

Well, all right, a movie it is, then. I'll see if I can't get some popcorn started, and bring down a few of big pillows, too.

[adamantined]

Do you have any requests?

[primrosella]

...Something with a happy ending?
