七十二 [library action post]

[revengeisalie]

[Sometimes, the library gives you very odd things, and other times, very rarely, it gives you just what you need.

That's right, Rin is at the library. She's walking around, gaze darting to and fro with an almost nervous air. Whenever she meets a person, she backpedals just a little. Slung tightly into her arms is a bunch of books, and she's taking care to cover their titles with her limbs and clothing. Still, an attentive eye might maybe catch a glimpse -- but oh!

Now she seems to have found out where she wants to go. She's retreating into the desolate areas of the building, where no one else cares to sit. There is no table there, but a lone chair next to a window. Rin shoots a last look to the left and one to the right, then she turns the chair around so that it faces the window, sits down and puts the books down on the windowsill.

Revealed is the title of the book at the top, which reads: "Sex For The Clueless - An Illustrated Step-By-Step Guide On How To Please Your Partner". Make no mistake: Rin is doing research.]

(OOC: Awkward teen time is GO. Feel free to stumble upon her at the library.)

I'm told the only real way to figure it out is to just do it.

[Rin first jumps at the voice suddenly coming from behind her - so close, too! - letting out a little scream, and then nearly falls out of her seat while trying to cover up the incriminating evidence. She is blushing furiously, too. Then she turns around to him, giving him a sort of embarassed glare.]

U-uh, Rokuta! H-hello, ahh...

What'cha doing?

[Meanwhile, she's still busy trying to gather the books in her arms and covering them with her wide sleeves.]

Trying to read, and I'd like to do so in quiet!

[kirinofen.livejournal.com]

Go for it, I won't say anything. Pretend I'm not even here.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Do forgive my rudeness, but... [here, have another sharp glare] why do you insist on staying?

action;

[kirinofen.livejournal.com]

I'm bored. There's no one around.

[Siiigh.]

I'm sure someone can be found. Who isn't trying to read in peace.

Reading your dirty books where no one can see them, huh? Lemme have one, I'll give it to Keiki and the look on his face will be priceless.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

[His words make her blush furiously. Again.]

T-they aren't dirty. Besides... that's kinda mean to Keiki-san.

[kirinofen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. It's "educational", right? What're you looking it up for anyway? I'd think by now you'd know how that stuff works.

It's either that or I make him spend a day with Shouryuu. That'd scar him for life.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

[And another one from Rin, too! Then she looks at her toes, flustered.] You're being a little intrusive here, you know.

[That last sentence earns him another sour look.] Does it have to be one of these?

action;

[kirinofen.livejournal.com]

Oh? Am I? I guess you don't have to tell me.

Well, considering it looks like you took just about every book from that particular section... yes.

action;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

[Sputter"] Yes, you are!

[But she gets herself back in check and now speaks clearly, with a slightly exaggerated air.]

I meant, do you have to either give him one of these books or subject him to Shouryuu-san?

action;

[kirinofen.livejournal.com]

I could do both?

action;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

How about neither? [Looking ever-so-slightly exasperated here.]

action;

[kirinofen.livejournal.com]

Where's the fun in that?

action;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

H-hey! [She yelps and grabs the book in his hands, yanking at it. And she also can't help the words that escape her mouth next.]

Aren't you too young to be reading that?

[Finding medical references in this place is a pain. Chase has found himself at what must be the last bookcase in the place, pulling out books at random because it seems as good a system as any.

This time he gets... Kitten Care: An Illustrated Guide.]

Damn it.

action;

[kirinofen.livejournal.com]

Who're you talking to here? I've lived with Shouryuu for five hundred years. You don't do that and not know about this stuff. Whether you want to or not.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

[Oh god, was that someone talking she heard? Quickly, Rin gathers her books back up and sits up straight and stiff, trying to look inconspicuous. It isn't really working.]

action;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

[Rin lets go and flushes a bit. She forgot the really-five-hundred-years-old bit for a moment there.]

Uh. Sorry. I forgot.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

[He skirts the edge of the shelf, arriving on her side and dropping the kitten manual on the table beside her without a glance at her books. It's her super-tense panic pose that he actually notices, and frowns at.]

Sorry, am I... in your way?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

[Almost unconsciously, she wraps her arms even tighter around her stack of books. If that's even possible. She turns to him with an awkward look on her face.]

No, no! Go right on ahead!

[kirinofen.livejournal.com]

Not to mention I visit modern Hourai all the time. They're not that discreet with this stuff either.
