[ this book would be a legitimate thing to tease him about tbh ]

Oh, this? It's a series about the FBI trying to track down this thief who steals famous works of art! See, this painter here is known for his equestrian oil paintings, so that's probably what's going on... Well, I haven't read it, so I can't say for sure...

[madamemoiselle]

[ She just looks confused, since wow, that's just... weird... It's too weird for her to even know to tease him about it!! ]

Huh. That's what you like to read?

[ But she doesn't sound judging, just genuinely curious ]

[eeek]

[ Garry is insecure and immediately sounds defensive. ] I-I swear, they're really good! Though... I can't say that I'm crazy about this cover. It's pretty strange and cheesy, isn't it?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, I'm not saying it isn't! It's just an odd cover, you're right.

[ She nods, then looks around ]

Hey, where's a good place, by the way?

[eeek]

Well... If we go up one more floor, that's where they store all the research documents and things like that. It's always quiet up there! We'd probably be on our own.

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, perfect! That makes sense, since no one would want to go read that boring stuff.

[ She laughs, because yeah, who would read that junk!! ]

I wasn't paying attention... Which way were the stairs?

[eeek]

That's not what I meant, [ he starts, but... she's kind of right, because he's sure not going to read it anytime soon. Whoops. ] Uh, this way. It's okay, you can just follow me!

[ tucking his new ugly book under one arm, he heads off the way they came, happening back upon the staircase and continuing upwards this time. The next floor is as he said - a little cramped, with loads of books everywhere, but not a soul in sight, despite the warm and inviting light filtering in through the windows. ]

-- Ah. Over here, [ Garry beckons, keeping his voice down simply because it's so quiet already, and starts off again, heading towards a small croft by a window with enough room for two. ]

[madamemoiselle]

[ Diva follows after him obediently, and once they make it to that floor, she sees that alcove at almost the same time Garry does. She's pleased that he had the same idea, and she makes a small, pleased little noise before walking a little more quickly to make it there first. She takes a seat there, then pats the space next to her for him to share.

and the one librarian up there probably made a face of disgust at the couple coming up to ruin the quiet ]

[eeek]

[ she's got it all wrong!! they're a friend couple gosh!!! but still annoying probably... Of course, he readily takes the seat next to her, ignoring any unhappy librarians they may have passed on the way there. ]

Is this good? [ he says to her, keeping his voice low. ]

[madamemoiselle]

[ Diva nods, and she settles herself so that her back is against Garry's shoulder. It's not really a surprise, as physical as she is, but... diva... ]

Mm, it's nice and comfy like this.

[eeek]

[ yeah, he's used to it by now, alas. He offers no resistance, only fidgeting so that he can get a bit more comfortable. ]

Wonderful! Then, let's read something. You said you liked stories about princesses and knights, hmm? [ he holds out a hand to take the book of fairy tales from her. ]

[madamemoiselle]

[ She nods as she gives him the book ]

That's right. I like them because the princesses are usually a little like me, right?

[eeek]

Of course. You're a queen, though, aren't you? You're a step up!

[ he speaks lightly, opening the book and flipping through it with care - he just hates dog-eared pages. ]

[madamemoiselle]

[ She giggles pleasantly, shaking her head ]

Maybe by title, but I'm way more like a princess, right?
