Quiet in the Library [Active, Open]

Character(s): Belle, open!
Content: Belle busies herself in the library.
Setting: Os Dias Sao a Noite.
Time: Morning, Week 31
Warnings: None.

From the very beginning of her stay here, Belle had called the city's library a haven. Neglected and generally ignored, the place had become dusty and musty. But with careful patience and the love that came from a lifetime of reading books, she had cleaned and scrubbed and dusted every corner. It had been a labor of love, extending over several weeks.

It didn't speed things along when she kept reading books she was cleaning, either.

She was doing just such a thing now, sitting on one of the long tables in the center of the room, her bucket of water and dishrag ignored in favor for yet another fascinating tome.

Given the various interactions of the castle and those who were in it, it had been quite some time since Zexion had last found the time to come and visit the library. Strictly speaking, of course, he had no real need to visit the town library. There were books enough for him to find elsewhere, should he desire a moment free of the threads of intrigue that wove their way through the city. And sometimes he did spend days away from the city save for a watching eye.

But the town's library had one distinct advantage. It brought together a variety of people, and with the demands of the city dying down for the time, it was time to see what all could be made of the intrigues of the city.

Of course, even then he wasn't about to show up as he truly was. No, for this it was time for Ian to his favorite haunts - and run into a few friends while he was at.

"I'd imagine it would be faster to clean first."

Well, he certainly couldn't blame her for that. He knew all too well the perils of a thoroughly intriguing book. It was the fate of bookworm, after all and not necessarily one that was less than enjoyable, at that.

"I've been well," he answered with a smile. "Keeping to myself, mostly."

"You'll never want for warriors, here," Zexion answered wry smile. True, most of them were bound within their books, but the books themselves could make for a decent enough weapon in a pinch. And he did have to agree about it being a place that felt safe, although he wouldn't have been to explain quite why.

"Nor do I think anyone would wish to be caught up in darkness."

"I'd be glad to," he answered, with a slight nod. There wasn't anything else immediately pressing he needed to get to, and one advantage of his status within the Organization was the fact that few people truly saw a need to interrupt him. Assuming they even recognized him in the persona he currently wore.

Besides, there were books still to be taken care of, and he carefully picked the nearest from the stack.

It was a good question, to be honest. He'd never seen fit to ask about the finer details of the city. It hadn't seemed terribly necessary at the time, and really, a library was a library. At least, in as far as the basics went.

"Perhaps they come like we do," he answered, gently dusting off the book in his hands. "It would explain the variety."
