Yus. >:3
Kazuki opened his eyes and immediately began to panic. It was dark. His eyes were open and it was still dark. He bolted upright and winced as light finally found his eyes, burning them. There was a thud and he glanced over to see the book lying open awkwardly with it's pages pressed messily to the floor. He must have fallen asleep with it on his face.
He sighed and got out of bed, stretching his arms and collecting the book. Setting it back on his bed, he hurried through brushing his hair and dressing himself before he picked it back up and left for the morning meal. -
Loralei rebraided her hair and got dress, yawning sleepily. She ate something real quick, then went off toward the library. Riot met her in the hallway and walked behind her, hiding when they passed someone.
-
Kazuki set the book down to the side of his plate as he took his seat at the end of the long table, separated from his father by feet of table and linen.
He felt his mind wandering to the story he'd half-completed the night before. He wanted to finish.
"Kazuki."
He looked up.
"Yes?"
"What is that?"
Kazuki followed his gaze to the book.
"It's a book."
His father raised an eyebrow and scowled.
"Right.." -
Warren was inside the library, and scoreless when he saw her.
"You're here early, don't you have a life?"He asked.
Warren was like that, always grumpy and could be rude, but he was extremely smart and could be friendly to those who'd earned his respect.
"I could have one, but I'd much rather spend my time with you."She joked.
"Well, you can't today. I have pressing matters to attend to, so you'll have to work this place alone again today."
Loralei shrugged and nodded. It wasn't that odd for her to be alone in here, and she didn't mind it.
She watched him leave, then went to work sorting through papers at his desk boredly.
Riot curled up at her feet, falling asleep. -
The king never ceased to amaze Kazuki. By the time he'd squirmed out of the dining room, he'd undergone a full interrogation on the subject of his book. His father seemed thoroughly disgusted with it, and for whatever reason, Kazuki was almost happy he'd never learned the girl's name to give to his father when asked where he'd gotten the book from.
He found himself heading back to the library again without any conscious decision to do so, and without any protest now. There were a few words he needed some help with anyway. -
Loralei finished with the papers, and turned to read her own book. She was reading about the history of the kingdom. She found it interesting, although Warren would tease her about it, asking why she wanted to learn about this boring old place.
Riot pureed loudly in his sleep, probably dreaming about fish. -
He entered the library with a flourish, stopping in the doorway and looking around.
"HEEEEEEY." he called loudly, tapping his foot impatiently before anyone had a realistic chance to respond. -
Loralei blinked, closing her book and walking over to him.
"Yes?" She said, surprised to see him back here. -
He held the book out to her, looking irritated.
"Page 93, 14 lines down. Second word on the line. What is it and what does it mean?" he demanded. -
(What is the word?.w.)
She took the book and flipped through the pages, looking for the 14th line. -
Just think a random one up. xD It doesn't really matter.
-
"..Avarice(ohlookpredictable), it means greed."She responded, handing the book back to him.
-
One of my favorite words. x3
He grunted what he considered a thank you and took it back.
"How far into this book are you?" -
"That one? I've finished it." She responded. In truth she'd read a lot of the books in the library, having nothing better to do.
