Twenty-ninth Spell

[courageous_wit]

[Hermione has been doing what she does best: researching in the library. She has taken up an entire table with books. She dips her quill into some ink to take another note]

I think I'm onto something... But I can barely keep my eyes open. Maybe just five more minutes...

[open for the library or on journal]

Dictation

[cyan_maid]

Gosh, um...if you're really that tired, it would probably be best for you to get some rest.

Dictation

[courageous_wit]

Oh... I didn't realize my journal was open.

Dictation

[cyan_maid]

Oh! I'm sorry for disturbing you, then...you just sounded tired, is all.

Dictation

[courageous_wit]

I've been working hard trying to do some research.

Action~

[losteveryone]

[Once Carol had found out that there was quite a large library here in the castle she just had to go and check it out. It had been such a long time since she had the chance to read anything never mind have such a large choice.

So, here she is browsing some shelves of books when she spots her looking extremely tired. She's never really one to pry but she's a little concerned.]

...Are you alright? You look a little worn out.

[courageous_wit]

[Hermione rubs at her eyes, smiling at the woman]

Oh, yes, I'm all right. I've just been so focused on research I lost track of time.

[losteveryone]

[Carol looks down at the books set in front of her and then back up at Hermione. She smiles a little and nods]

I used to lose track of time when I was reading all the time. [It's not the same thing but still..and she's not trying to sound like your mother Hermione, promise.] But you shouldn't let yourself get so worn out, it's not good for you.

[courageous_wit]

Yes, I know. I'll just put these away and go to bed.

Dictated

[forsometimenow]

Onto what?

Dictated

[courageous_wit]

Some answers about the castle.

Dictated

[forsometimenow]

Wouldn't that be nice? Has it taken very long to find anything useful out?

Dictated

[courageous_wit]

Unfortunately, yes. But compared to where we started, we've made loads of progress.

dictated.

[shrugs_a_lot]

You're overdoing it. [At this point, he's sure that telling her against it won't work. It doesn't mean he's a little concerned about her though.]

dictated.

[courageous_wit]

I know... [but it's easier to get buried in books sometimes]

dictated.

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Don't let him know books are a good way to block the real world or he'll never come out of the library either...]

Do you want some help?

dictated.

[courageous_wit]

[they can build a book fort and be book hermits together]

I could use some help putting these away.

Action;

[huffythedragon]

[Suddenly there is a little dragon standing on the table in front of you, and he's made you a cup of hot chocolate. Why? Because he's the best librarian ever that's why]

You look pretty tired. Maybe you should go get some sleep. I can make sure you keep all your places in your books.

[courageous_wit]

[blinks at the dragon, and the hot chocolate]

Oh, is that for me? That's very kind.

[huffythedragon]

[He places it carefully in front of her]

You looked like you could use it.

Written

[kidwiththeleash]

What are you working on?

Written

[courageous_wit]

[some time later]

Oh, Integra. I was just reading up on the First Gens.

[kidwiththeleash]

[She must have fallen asleep! Integra knows the feeling.]

I've heard about them before, a little. What did you learn Hermione?

action;

[whitecovered]

[Here, have a somewhat concerned book floating by. Still, it must be interesting for her to get so buried in it...]

Oh ho? And what is this something you speak of?

[courageous_wit]

[blinks at the book] Hello...?

[whitecovered]

Hello.

[Nothing wrong with a floating book, right?]
