23rd Flight: [Action]

[Sitting on the roof of the library is one pink haired witch, flipping her way through a stack of pilfered books.

... Well, she'd say "borrowed", but seeing as how she didn't ask anyone's permission to check them out, it's pretty much the same thing.

She doesn't seem to be putting much importance into hiding her blatant disregard for library protocol, given how she's dangling her legs right in front of the door in. This could possibly be a distraction though, from the smaller stack of books set rather precariously on top of the partly-open door. Caution opening the door would probably be advised.]

[And guess who's coming out of the library today, completely unaware of the peril that awaits him!

AVALANCHE OF BOOKS, DHAOS.

...He just stands there, stunned. Ow.]

[Hee hee, someone must have fallen for her little prank. Arche leans over the roof to see who she got...

Oh. Weeeeeeeell crap.]

Uh... hi, Dhaos.

[...He knows that voice. Dhaos slowly turns and looks up.]

...

[...If it's any consolation, the glare Arche is getting is flat rather than outright angry.]

[Slightly. She's still nervous as she tries to smile.]

Eh heh... how's your head?

...

[Dhaos does a few more seconds of glaring flatly in response before speaking.]

What are you doing?

Er... reading? [She grins, uncomfortably, and holds up her book.]

[...Dhaos would totally point out that it's strange for her to be reading on top of the library instead of inside it, but he's, uh, done that before. Whoops. Instead, he prods the fallen books with a foot.]

These as well?

Those are the ones I finished already.

[Wow, she's one fast reader. Then again, you pretty much have to be if you want to be a mage.]

[Yep, Dhaos doesn't believe it.]

You ought to find a better place to put them.

[For the first time this week actually feeling up to going somewhere. The library wasn't her first choice but she figured it might be quiet.

And then Arche was there.]

Hey. ...What're you doing?

[Looking up from her latest book, Arche gives Sheena a wide grin.]

Hi Sheena. Just making my way through a few books I've been meaning to read. How about you?

I'm finally taking a walk somewhere.

[totally about to push the door open. Arche do you want her to have a concussion.]

[Somehow this idea seems less funny when it's her good friend about to be bookalanche'd. Arche quickly flips over and grabs her by the shoulder.]

Uh, hang on a second, Sheena. I've been putting the books I'm done with on the top of the door, lemme grab those, okay?

Huh? [looking up now with more concentration]

...Were you really putting them there just 'cause you were done with them?

[She gives a slight grin in response to that question.]

Are you implying something, Sheena?

[Grabbing her broom so she can more easily get at the stack (really just five books, and none that heavy, so she can carry them all at once) she picks them up and balances them carefully as she heads back up to deposit them on the roof.]

Yep.

[shaking her head. Oh Arche you troublemaker.

But you saved her life once, so all is forgiven.]

[She laughs, twirling upside down to grin at Sheena like a cat after the books are settled comfortably on the roof.]

Well, I'm not telling one way or another.

[ Coincidentally, Martel so happens to be going to the library today. Luckily, she stops to greet Arche briefly sparing herself of the trap. ]

Oh! Good evening Arche! I haven't seen you in quite some time.

[ Despite the visible stack of books on top of the door, she is completely oblivious of the young girl's mischief. ]

[Why is it that people keep coming by who make the joke a lot less funny? Arche waves down at her with a little smile, glancing at the door.]

Hi Martel! Yeah, I've been... kinda out of the loop recently. Oh, hold on the door a moment, I gotta grab my books.

[She sets the one she's reading aside, carefully, and slips down onto her broom.]

I've been seeing how many I could balance on the door at once. [Yeah, that's not suspicious at all.]

[ Yep! Certainly not suspicious in Martel's mind. ]

Ah, I see. That's an interesting experiment there.

[ A concerned look spreaded across her face. ]

Out of the loop? What's the matter?

[ There she goes. Being all motherly again. ]

[Nervous laugh.]

Well, I had to do something with the ones I was finished with.

[She shrugs in response to that question as she gathers up her books.]

I'm not sure anything's wrong, exactly. It's been a pretty quiet month for me, which I guess is kinda weird, but then again I'm not sure I want to draw attention to myself right now.

[ She's not sure what she meant by not wanting to draw attention to herself but . . . ]

Is it because you miss someone?

[ And would that someone be her boyfriend? ]

[She can't help but blink in surprise at Martel's shrewd guess.]

A... lot of someones, actually.

Oh, so it's your friends from your world you miss?

[ If she had known better, she would have thought that Arche was going to say "a boy." ]

Mostly. A couple people I met here too when it comes to that.

[Are you trying to play matchmaker, Martel?]

Don't worry. You're bound to meet them again. And if that takes too long then you could always come to me when you're lonely.

[ When she mentions Chester's name, then yes; Martel will start playing matchmaker. ]
