Corwin has definitely learned his lesson in “be careful what you wish for,” and instead of wandering the city aimlessly and complaining about how dull it is here (or hacking at trees), he’s managed to find something to occupy himself with

Spencer had been filing some books on the other side of the library, when the faint scent of something burning caught his attention. Following his nose, he happened upon Corwin sitting in the back with a cigarette in his hand. Spencer coughed as he inhaled the carbon monoxide smoke. He wanted to be straightforward and tell him to put the cigarette out, but these words came out of his mouth instead.

"Six minutes."

[OOC - Just FYI, I'm insanely busy during the week so tagging will be at molasses speed lol, but I couldn't not tag this post. XD]

Yes. Yes I did. Problem?

[patternal]

Something registered--someone talking--but he'd always had that problem: with a book, he was in another world, absorbed by what he was reading. Depending on who one was talking to about it, it was a problem--a shortcoming of his--but it just made reading that much more enjoyable.

Even so, it took a few seconds longer than it should have before he realized that he'd been spoken to, even if he didn't know what had been said.

"Hm?"

((No problem, bb~ <33 ))

Spencer sighed and gazed down at Corwin in the chair in front of him.

"Six minutes. Did you know that every cigarette you smoke takes an average of six minutes off of your life?"

Oh. So that's what that was all about. Corwin shrugged at the question, noting the page he'd left off in the book before closing it and turning to face Spencer.

"Nope. Thanks for the trivia."

"It's not just trivia."

Spencer had told his mother that information whenever she lit up a cigarette, but it hadn't ever stopped her. She finally had to kick the habit when she'd been institutionalized.

"You probably shouldn't smoke in here anyway."

"Believe it or not, I do care about things like books and I'm not planning on setting fire to the place." Never mind that he healed quickly enough from the damage caused by the odd sporadic smoke or two that it didn't actually matter. But apparently around here it was going to be more trouble than it was worth.
