[The two recruiters will probably find Giles shelving books around about the time they go hunting for new members.]

[squaring]

[Well, someone who so clearly cares for books like this would be a great addition to the club!

On the other hand, he's much older than him... whatever, small child approaching!] Ah... hello there! [Why is he so nervous?]

[consultmybooks]

[Giles looks around and...hello, small child approaching! Well, Giles does work at a library. It's not necessarily an unexpected occurrence.]

Hello?

Anything I can help you with?

[squaring]

Ah, well... I'm recruiting for the Book Club here and you seemed the type who'd be interested so...

[Never has Aoba felt so insecure about his height. It's a little hard to stop fidgeting!]

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia can be found wandering up and down the aisles, putting back some of the books she's borrowed over the last few days while looking for any new books that sound interesting.]

[alreadyknowsyou]

[Someone putting books back? Good enough for Nodoka! Clearly they have borrowed them and must enjoy reading to some degree...

Deep breathe, working out what to say in her head first before diving in... Ok... Ok she's got this. Let's do this Nodoka!] U-Uhm, hello! Do you need a hand there?

[shadedsunlight]

[Despite the pile of books in her arms, Ginia looks over and gives a small shake of her head. There's another pause as she finds an empty spot on the shelves to put everything down on, then grabs a notepad and pen out of her satchel.]

I think I got it, though thanks for asking. Do you work here?

[alreadyknowsyou]

[Oh dear, she didn't know Ginia communicated like that! Now she feels like a bit of a bother.] Ah, s-sorry, but if you're sure. I don't mind helping out if you would like me to.

[Rubbing the back of her head with a shy little laugh.] N-No, but I'd like to work here at some point. I'll have to ask Estelle-san regarding that. I'm actually finding members for a book club today.

[bloodypocket]

[Eyes can be found in a more reclusive corner of the library, idly flipping through the pages of one of the novels he found.]

[alreadyknowsyou]

[Hope he doesn't mind a shy little librarian coming up to bother him! She's going to have the courtesy to wait until he finishes the page he's on however, it sucks to be interrupted when you're getting into a story after all. Even if it is just idle flipping--] Oh, hello!

[bloodypocket]

[While he had taken note of someone approaching, he only looks up when addressed directly. Nodding once to let the girl know that he has at least acknowledged that she is speaking to him, and may continue.]

[alreadyknowsyou]

Uhm, so I noticed you've come here to read. [It's kind of awkward to get the ball rolling on this sort of thing, stating the obvious and what not. Of course he's reading. Anyway.] Do you enjoy reading?

[ishisfriend]

[THERE IS A BOOK TOWER IN THIS CORNER.

If a book tower could ooze "I'm reading, DND", it would. Except that that would require, y'know, effort that isn't reading. Whenever anyone manages to spot the reading boy behind the book tower, though, you're welcome to say something...or actually, it may be better if you wait for him to say something.

He does hate interruptions.]

[squaring]

[Too bad! Aoba, giddy as he is to be part of the recruiting team, doesn't even think to be courteous as he heads on over to the tower. Wow, someone who likes books this much would be great to have in the club!

... Of course, he remembers to keep his voice down at least.] Oh, hey! [THE MOST MUFFLED EXCLAMATION.]

[ishisfriend]

["...and then Sir Fratley said--"

No, it wasn't 'Oh hey!'.

He glances up with a rather bemused look. This guy looks familiar...]

Yes?

[squaring]

[He nervously begins to scratch the back of his head as he prepares to sell this random guy on the Book Club!] Eh... [Hang on... that voice!?]

Wait, is that you, Leo-san?

[neoslaying]

[Yeah. She likes books too. She's here in the library reading a big old book on American history. Seriously]

[alreadyknowsyou]

[Hello there person she recognizes! Don't worry, she's wearing a bit more clothing today.] Melaka-san! Long time no see. Do you enjoy reading too? [Asking, despite there being a big book in front of her. Yup.]

[neoslaying]

[Glance up and that's... picture her with less clot- oh!]

I guess?

[alreadyknowsyou]

I-I see... [Standing there awkwardly, shifting from one foot to the other.] Would you say that you enjoy reading enough to join a club focused on reading?
