[It's not at all strange to find people in the library. In fact, it might be the most normal, mundane activity a character can do. Aster is one of the people who enjoys sitting and reading for hours on end, researching every little thing he can get his hands on.

So it's not at all strange to find piles of books, nearly resembling a fort, in an

[Matti was just looking through those books when she heard the voice. She looks up and immidiately manages to send herself into panic mode.]

A-A-Aster..! A-are you... I-I mean... h-h-how did you even get up there...?

[ainsophaured]

[Where's that voice coming from? Oh. He looks over the edge and smiles down at her. Aster doesn't look too concerned about his situation as he waves.]

Hello, Canada!

I believe there was a ladder at one point. It seems to have gone missing now.

[notameliajones]

[And she thought sis was thoughtless.]

D-did you really go all the way up there for some books....? O-oh maple....

[ainsophaured]

Of course! They looked interesting.

[Still smiling away like nothing's wrong.]

How are you?

[notameliajones]

G-get down from there before you hurt yourself...! Th-then we can chat...! [Aster doesn't have to worry, because Matti will worry enough for the both of them, and then some. That's how it usually is.]

[ainsophaured]

[Canada it's going to be okay. It's not like he's deliberately hanging off the edge or something inane like that.]

Don't worry. I won't hurt myself. I'm currently trying to think of a way to do that.

[It would be easier if he was willing to leave the books behind.]

[notameliajones]

[After the general insanity she gets from America,England, France, etc, she can never be too careful.]

U-um... c-can't you just... throw those d-down here, then c-come down...?

[ainsophaured]

[Poor Canada. She never catches a break.]

I could, but it's possible I could damage the books that way.

[notameliajones]

F-forget the damn--.... I-I mean... o-oh maple...

J-just... I-I'll try to catch them... o-okay...? [She sets her notebook on the floor to prepare herself, but looks nervous about catching falling objects without using her face.]

[ainsophaured]

[It seems Aster has a habit of unintentionally frustrating people. He tilts his head and looks down at her open hands. Seeing her get hurt isn't in his plans for the day.]

Are you sure? I don't want to see you get an injury either.

[notameliajones]

Th-those should be worth it... i-if I do get hurt, I mean... [She gulps and tries to look determined. It kind of works.]

[ainsophaured]

Nothing would be worth that. Let me see...

[The only way to test if she would be able to catch them is by trying. He pulls something harmless out of his pocket; a scrunched up piece of paper.]

Here. Catch this first.

[notameliajones]

[She just barely manages to catch it and holds it up to show him.]

N-no problem...

[ainsophaured]

[EXPERIMENT COMPLETE: RESULTS? Throw the books of course.]

Alright. Are you ready?

[notameliajones]

[She's a little bit too nervous to speak now, and just nods and tosses the paper aside.]

[ainsophaured]

[He takes his time, looking to find the most important book first, and then carefully holds it out as far as he can. When he thinks she's ready to catch it, he says]

Here it comes.

[And down it goes.]
