"Luckily for you you have to wait long," Chi An called out, bringing the stack of books she collected and setting it upon the table that was close to the front of the shop. With a thump, the tomes she gathered landed upon the surface.

"Would this do for now?" The librarian asked, spreading out all of the books upon the table so all of the covers could be revealed to the newcomer. 

"All right, then." His voice held the softness of consolation, though inside he was more than a little disappointed at not being able to help — for a moment he entertained the idea of throwing all caution and his pet to the wind, having him fly from his hand, both unencumbered.

"I will just wait here." He was already curious about the books, but — not yet.

"Alright then, i'll keep that in mind," Chi An asked, holding up a thumbs up to the other. Ah well, at least she had someone to help her with this...Well, maybe. Slowly, she shut the door to give herself some privacy, making sure it was securely shut before stripping from her own clothing to put on the attire Arthur had spared her. 

Arthur smiled before stopping at a door, “Heres one of our empty rooms. Take your time and if you need anything, please let me know.” he said tucking a strand of hair behind his ear

Arthur then looked down the hall after hearing another door open, “I’ll be right back.” he said before walking off in the opposite direction

"Well I can't let their skills go to waste after all," she replied, letting out a slight laugh. It was best to have them practice what Arthur taught then anyways, just in case if they ever needed it.

"Good. Good. I’m glad they’re practicing." he replied with a proud grin, "I’m a little surprised you have been letting them practice." he teased pressing a kiss to her ear

[a-black-lotus-archive-blog]

"...Oh. Right." She coughed into arm to clear her throat quickly. Now was probably a good time to get over there, for every passing second was considered crucial in such a matter as this. Well, to Chi An this was an important matter anyways.

"...Yes please, I'd like to leave for the Book Case..." The librarian added, nodding over to the faerie before tucking  a strand of her hair behind an ear.

Gone {quietfaerie}

Le was slow to nod. Family. The subject was too uncomplimentary to the situation despite her intentions to make the air less glum. And Chi An’s earlier smile seemed to agree. The twins…

She wanted to try. Thoughtless, thoughtless, thoughtless. 

Using one finger, Le adjusted her cup by its handle, a half circle on its spot atop the table so that it would face the tea pot. “… I am sorry Chi. Would you like to leave for the Book Case now?…” 

[a-black-lotus-archive-blog]

"Ah, that's right..." The librarian nodded, sending the other a weary smile. As she listened, she placed her teacup upon the saucer on the table, listening contently.

"Hm? Oh I suppose so...I mean I haven't met all of my relatives, so I think... I've known at least my mother's side of the family, and half of my father's..." If she remembered, all of them added up, along with her direct member's of the family, wouldn't even be half of the amount of Le's siblings. 

Gone {quietfaerie}

"She is a second cousin. I was very surprised on discovery days after my arrival." Le chuckled over the table, pot and cup clinking to the tune of its soft inflection. "I’ve a large family, and we’re all fragmented.” She returned to her spot and sat with a fresh share of tea, sipping surely. “Is your family large, Chi?”

"Oh they're doing quite well," she replied, raising a hand to rub it against the side of her neck. Generally they've been working on their aim for throwing kunai, which gradually improved over the past few weeks. 

"Bin Bao's gotten a bull's eye, you know," she added, leaning in so her voice was almost barely above a whisper, as if said child was beside them. 

"Oh…" The librarian stifled a laugh by raising a hand to cover her mouth. Oh she remembered when Arthur’s hair was tainted with blue, which was maybe about a few weeks ago. 

"At least you got it out," Chi An added, clearing her throat as some sort of attempt to get rid of the little giggles.

"Yes. Well he is quite skilled with magic especially explosive type magic…" he muttered with a small smile, "That’s why my hair was blue the last time…"

Adorable, Kind Lenalee Lee

Not a single volume has been opened. That’s a great shame. There’s something sad about an unread book.
