Because this is what the night was originally meant for

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY pattan January 14 2011, 21:52:38 UTC

[Dragging his ass to meet Lemina at the library.]

[In other words, he's LATE LATE LATE.]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY megamagicpower January 14 2011, 23:53:18 UTC

[Lemina's early. In fact, she was a few hours early.]

[She tries to keep her studious nature a secret, her love of stories and thirst of knowledge. But the simple truth of it is that, during those precious hours when she's not in school or making money, her favorite place to be is the library. Which is where she spent this afternoon, hiding away in a secluded corner, reading through novels her eyes had never touched before.]

["I know exactly how you feel", Schmendrick said eagerly. The unicorn looked at him out of dark, endless eyes, and he smiled nervously and looked at his hands. "It's a rare man who is taken for what he truly is," he said. "There is much misjudgment in the world. Now I knew you for a unicorn when I first saw you, and I know that I am your friend. Yet you take me for a clown, or a clod, or a betrayer, and so must I be if you see me so. The magic on you is only magic and will vanish as soon as you are free, but the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes. We are not always ( ... )

[He rushes in, doing his best to keep the door from slamming or to keep from making too much noise. She was probably going to be mad at him for wasting her time and for being late.]

[Figures...she was always so bossy.]

[Well, hopefully, what he had in his hand would cheer her up.]

[He looks around, ducking between shelves piles of books, for any tuft of bright blond hair that would belong to his study partner.]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY megamagicpower January 15 2011, 00:46:22 UTC

[Ah, there he was. Looking around for her? Unfortunately, he's looking in the wrong direction.]

[So, using the best stealth she can manage, she's going to walk up behind him and see how close she can get without him noticing.]

[And then, in a softened voice, she says...]

You're late.

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY pattan January 15 2011, 00:50:13 UTC

[In a flat out shudder that starts at the base of his spine and travels all the way up, he stiffens and shouts.]

I-I'M SORRY!! I DIDN'T MEAN T--

[He is suddenly shushed by ever person in the damn library.]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY megamagicpower January 15 2011, 00:57:01 UTC

[Except the culprit, who is covering her mouth so she can laugh at him silently.]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY pattan January 15 2011, 00:58:51 UTC

[He whips around, cheeks blushing scarlet from the public embarrassment.]

What the hell are you doing?! That's not funny!

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY megamagicpower January 15 2011, 01:03:34 UTC

That's what you get for keeping me waiting. Time is money, after all.

[SO NOT SORRY. The rest of the library patrons will get over it.]

What took you so long, anyway?

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY pattan January 15 2011, 01:05:06 UTC

Um...

[He's not very good at this.]

[So he just...shoves a small to medium sized box into her arms.]

[There's a red ribbon around it.]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY megamagicpower January 15 2011, 01:13:04 UTC

[She's taken by surprise. In fact, she hadn't noticed he was holding this. But she takes it, staring at it, and then staring at him.]

A gift...?

[Didn't the holidays end a few weeks ago? Huh. Well, she is not one to question or refuse gifts. Carefully, she unties the red ribbon, and opens the box.]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY pattan January 15 2011, 01:14:51 UTC

[It's a medium sized cake, meant to be eaten by two people. It even has two strawberries on top.]

[He merely clears his throat and wonders if he has to explain why he got it.]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY megamagicpower January 15 2011, 01:37:40 UTC

[... oh.]

[No, he doesn't. She remembers that whole argument. And she offers him a sweet, forgiving smile as thanks.]

... did you bring forks, too?

[Even though there's a sign nearby clearly stating NO FOOD OR DRINK IN THE LIBRARY. As long as they're careful, it should be fine, right?]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY pattan January 15 2011, 01:39:21 UTC

Y-Yeah, I did.

[He smiles, relieved, that he didn't have to explain why he suddenly felt like getting her a cake.]

We should probably go someplace...out of the way.

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY megamagicpower January 15 2011, 01:50:21 UTC

[She beams, closing the box. And lowers her voice another notch, too.]

Right. I think I know just the spot. Come on!

[Carrying the cake box in one hand and tugging his sleeve with the other, she leads him into that secluded little corner she had grown so fond of, which conveniently has two armchairs positioned near a small table.]

[... the same table she left The Last Unicorn on. Whoops. But hey, there's no way he could know she was the one reading it, right?]

Re: STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY pattan January 15 2011, 01:53:52 UTC

[He follows along through the winding and towering bookshelves, wondering just how big this library was to begin with. It looked like it housed books from all over, from hundreds of different worlds.]

[When they came to the table, he took a look at the book set upon it.]

Hey...I think I've heard of this book before.
