[in her room on the first floor of the library there is a Methuselah, reading a book, her tiger curled up on the floor by her bed]

[do you know where your children are? . . . well, one tinyknight at least is outside knocking on the door]

[astalavampire]

....?

[gets up and opens the door and. looks down.]

Hello, Suzaku.

[oneknightstands]

[beaming]

I told you I was gonna come!

[astalavampire]

[asdfjk; YOUR CUTE TOPS ME. WRY.]

Yes, I guess you did.

[moving aside and opening the door wider; her room has NO WINDOWS BY THE WAY]

[wriggling inside and glancing around at his surroundings]

It's okay, right? I made sure that the sun was all the way down like you said. . .

[astalavampire]

[it's actually quite cozy and homey because Aziraphale decorated -- not sparse or unwelcoming]

I appreciate that -- I'm not usually very awake or alert until then.

[oneknightstands]

[totally exploring! curious child is curious.]

Usually I'm just the opposite. But 'cause I came to visit, I won't fall asleep!

[astalavampire]

[lots of books! and... probably some girly things around, like a jewelry box and girly clothes in the closet and. you know. girl stuff! oh, and probably the sword of Gae Bolg, which mostly looks like a very plain, very short silver rod. also, watching him, clearly amused and bemused at the same time]

I see. Well, that's very polite of you.

[oneknightstands]

[investigating the books, staring at their titles curiously.]

Have you read all these?

[astalavampire]

No, not all of them. Not yet. They were here when I moved in. The head librarian helped arrange the room, so he probably made sure it had plenty of books.

...Suzaku, can I ask you a question?

[oneknightstands]

[looking up from the book he was glancing at]

Yeah?

[astalavampire]

...Why is it, in a summer camp with dozens of kids your own age, would you want to visit a windowless room in the library to look at books?

[oneknightstands]

It's 'cause it's Miss Asta's room! So none of that matters, right?

[astalavampire]

[asdjfka;dlkjajdkf;ajdkf;lakj;lkjad]

.......O-oh.

.............who told you that name?

[oneknightstands]

[b-blinking]

No one did -- your name's pretty long, you know. So that's what I remembered!

[astalavampire]

Oh. I. Oh.

That was... what I was called when I was a little girl.
