[The familiar bookshelves and furnishings of the library are visible behind Conan as he turns the feed on. He's got a couple of calls to make

Comments

[Action]

[holds_his_hand]

[Wanders into the library on her way to the train station and looks around for Conan. She can hear movement in some of the farther aisles and decides to call out.]

Ah, Conan-kun? Are you here-? [Her question is cut off somewhat short with a cough. It's followed by another deep cough, and she covers her mouth momentarily until the small fit subsides.]

[Action]

[holmes_fanatic]

Elle-neechan?

[Conan pokes his head out of the aisle he's in, blinking concerned -- that's a nasty cough. A cold? It's come on very suddenly -- she was fine last time they talked, wasn't she?]

I'm here! Are you all right?

[Action]

[holds_his_hand]

[Pulling her hand away from her mouth, she gives it an odd look over before nodding slowly.] Oh, yes. I'm fine- it was probably some dust or something.

[And her smile returns.] I was just heading over to the train station, but I was wondering where I could find that man- ah...Grimoire Vincent, wasn't it?

[Action]

[holmes_fanatic]

[That's an odd gesture -- but there's no denying that old books attract dust like its going out of fashion. Conan joins Elraine, giving her a bright smile.] Let's go to the reading room. It's airier.

Grimoire Valentine -- Vincent Valentine is his son. Though maybe you should call him Professor Valentine until you meet him. His lab's in the ShinRa building, but it might be hard to visit -- ah, I should let him know you want to visit!

[holds_his_hand]

[She's not entirely familiar with the library, but she nods at Conan to take the lead.]

Eh? O-oh, so that's it! [Laughs a little out of embarrassment.] Professor Valentine... Ah, yes that would be really helpful, Conan-kun. I don't think I've talked to him yet, actually.

[Action]

[holmes_fanatic]

[And Conan leads the way to a room with more chairs than shelves, and currently has a couple of futons folded up in one corner. The windows have already been opened, so Conan simply climbs into a comfortable armchair.]

I'll make sure I mention you to him next time I'm talking to him then!

[Action]

[holds_his_hand]

Thank you, that would be really helpful... [Despite the change in location, she can still feel the tightening in her chest. It was a definite concern, but worrying Conan was the last thing on her list. Instead she blinks at the futons and gestures towards them.]

Have you been staying here, Conan-kun?

[Action]

[holmes_fanatic]

Then I'll look out for Professor Valentine right away!

Ah -- Since Ran-neechan's so new, I thought she might be ... surprised if she stayed with me with the Cybertronians. [Not to mention that the closet was not big enough for both of them.] We've been staying here until we think of what to do.

[holds_his_hand]

Ah, that makes sense... [Remembers when she first saw Silverbolt on the network.]

Do you have any possible plans?

[holmes_fanatic]

They're really nice and they'll want to meet her, but ...

Well -- the apartment above yours is still free, right? Does it need much repaired?

[holds_his_hand]

She'll meet them eventually though.

Eh? [Thinks for a moment.] Yes, it's still free. I'vee been keeping it clean too, so it doesn't need that much repair.

[holmes_fanatic]

She will.

Keeping it clean -- ah, you have plans for it?

[holds_his_hand]

Not really...It's just been something to do when I'm not busy. If you do want to use it, most of it is already set up.

[holmes_fanatic]

I'll let Ran-neechan and Hattori-niichan know.

[holds_his_hand]

Alright. [She nods a little and covers her mouth with another small cough.] Ah, sorry. I should probably head out now...

[holmes_fanatic]

[Conan slides out of his chair to walk Elraine to the door.]

You're not coming down with a cold or something, are you?
