The library's air conditioning was a welcome reprieve from the heat. Normally, this time of day would've found Lillian camped out under her tree with a canvas tote full of art supplies, poetry books, and whatever novel she was currently reading but the weather was too warm, even for her. The library worked just as well, especially with so many of the students gone for summer. There was even more peace and quiet here than usual

Once inside the study area, Rolf stopped to survey the tables. Most were empty, and while he could dump his books onto one of those, he couldn't help but spot a certain someone at a certain table by herself. He should've known his tutor would be one to hang out in a library and space out like that. Though, she could be a little more inconspicuous about it.
He veered towards her and once he was close enough, he thrust an open book just inches from her face, holding it there.
"There. Now everyone will think you're studying. Carry on with the spacing out," he said with an easy smile.
"You're always obvious," he sighed in mock disapproval as he set himself down across from her.
"This. This is research for a surprise paper in Choir, of all places. I only signed up for that class because it was supposed be paper-free!" And no, he wasn't ashamed of admitting that to Lillian, who knew best that he wasn't as studious as he should be.
Another sigh and he settled down, leaning back against his chair. "Anyway, what're you doing in here? Find an interesting wall to sketch?"

"I didn't realize I was that obvious... Hi, Rolf," she replied, smiling back. She nodded toward the books he held. "What's all of that?"
