[ heading to the library in this thread]

[godwinner]

What are you going to look for first?

[mind_over_metal]

I don't know. Whatever I see first!

*dragging Erik inside with him*

[godwinner]

[ your wish is his command, basically. :< ]

[mind_over_metal]

*slows down to a normal walk again once they're in the library, looking around quietly, craning his neck to see the top shelves*

[godwinner]

I'm here to fetch you the high ones, aren't I?

[mind_over_metal]

*pulls out a book at random from the shelf nearest to him.

once it's off the shelf and in his hands, it's pretty clearly some sort of illustrated inter-species sex manual*

[godwinner]

What was that you were saying about whatever you see first?

[ just smirks like a bastard and waits to see what you'll do with it ]

[mind_over_metal]

*looks up at Erik and defiantly tucks the book under his free arm.*

What's up on the top shelf?

[godwinner]

[ pulls one out and holds it up for Charles' inspection:

The Care and Feeding of Camp Fauna ]

I believe we're in the section with books specific to this place.

[mind_over_metal]

We should try somewhere else, then. Maybe over there.

*turning around to look at another group of shelves, he doesn't see one of the books from the camp section start to slip threateningly off the shelf... as though moving on its own...*

[godwinner]

[ he does, of course, and quickly reaches out a hand to Charles' arm to jerk him out of the way. ]

[mind_over_metal]

*jerks away from him and throws up an arm to shield himself from... Erik, apparently, as if bracing himself against being struck*

[godwinner]

[ is still for a split second, then closes the distance to his raised arm and hauls Charles out of the way just as the book snaps at the space where he was standing ]

[mind_over_metal]

*apparently oblivious to Erik's pause (and the reason for it), his head whips around at the snapping noise to stare at the vicious book*

That's- The book!

[godwinner]

[ bemused ]

Careful.
