[Buffy strides briskly towards the library, determined to maintain poise even in the face of her injury which, with a little help, has been healing quite nicely. She's decked out in a fashion that she certainly has never before worn in Luceti's streets. The Slayer is rocking the tweed skirt suit with thick leggings and high boots to match.

[At the library, Bellis is searching for books for her new career choice. Seeing Buffy, she assumes that Buffy must work there, or at least visit it enough to know where things are.]

Excuse me, where are the books on psychology?

[Action] slaying January 30 2010, 00:38:14 UTC

[She looks up, eyes slaving to focus as she had been so lost in the book.]

Psychology? Uhm. [She looks over her shoulder. Shouldn't there be someone else who works here who could help with that?

But then, of course, she remembers Giles. He managed it.]

Sure. Right this way? I think.

[She stands.]

[Bellis follows her. Buffy doesn't seem like the most professional person, but Bellis likes her outfit.]

[Action] slaying January 30 2010, 01:24:27 UTC

Psych...ology. [Buffy breezes through a few shelves, tipping some titles towards herself and sneering at practically every one.]

I've got something on astrology. Will that do? It's kinda in the same rough area.

[Action] msblackandblue January 30 2010, 01:33:44 UTC

[Have a glare.]

The two aren't remotely similar.

[Action] slaying January 30 2010, 20:54:37 UTC

They're not? [She sighs.] Maybe some thing's nearby, though.

[Action] msblackandblue January 31 2010, 00:01:58 UTC

[Bellis decides to take it easy on Buffy. She used to work in a library and she knows it can be hard to find the right book.]

Are the books organized entirely by subject? Or are things like language or world of origin factored in?

[Action] slaying January 31 2010, 03:16:09 UTC

I..don't actually know. [She turns with a tight shrug.] I don't actually work here. I'm just...researching.

[Action] msblackandblue January 31 2010, 03:20:12 UTC

[It's rather embarrassing that Bellis made that mistake. It's also irritating that Buffy let her carry on for so long.]

I see. My apologies.

[She turns to walk away.]

[Action] slaying January 31 2010, 03:31:46 UTC

Wait! I--[she pauses, shaking her head]--I knew, no, I know a librarian back home. He's kinda like a mentor.

[Action] msblackandblue January 31 2010, 03:34:34 UTC

[Bellis turns back.]

...And?

[Action] slaying January 31 2010, 03:50:00 UTC

And I'd love to be as good as him but--honestly? I'm kind of a work in progress.

[Action] msblackandblue January 31 2010, 03:57:49 UTC

Being a librarian, and performing research are both jobs that are more difficult than most people realize.

[Action] slaying January 31 2010, 13:51:04 UTC

Apparently so. Giles always made it look so easy.

[Action] msblackandblue January 31 2010, 21:26:40 UTC

You have to be able to find a lost book somewhere on a thousand shelves. You have to know how to properly sort and catalog books of all varieties.

[Action] slaying February 1 2010, 16:26:03 UTC

I don't suppose that's the kind of thing I could learn in an afternoon, right?
