*pauses and listens to the rustling of the paper*

What is going on in the world?

Nothin' much. Trying to get through this dumb book but it's boring.

What about you?

*shrugs, using her cane to find the wall he is leaning against*

Nothing much, leaving a dinner.. didn't feel like waiting for Nate to finish talking so...

There is a coffee shop up here right?

Your boyfriend talk too much? Whatta drag.

Yeah. It's right around the corner. You want me to show you?

*shrugs again* Its not horrible, I just got tired of sitting and listening to something un-relatable, so I told him I'd meet him there.

*smiles quietly* If you don't mind, I keep thinking I'm going to run into a pot-hole or something...

What was your book about?

What were they talking about?

*he puts her hand on his arm* Sure, no problem. In this neighborhood you're more likely to trip over somebody.

*chuckles a tiny bit* A plague, go figure. 's nothing really. The librarian is just running out of stuff to recommend.

How a certain chemical= zytacotomine or something...and how it is affected by light... Don't really care to much for chemistry to begin with, and that was just... well-boring.

*smiles again* thank you, that'd be just my luck too.

A plauge? I thought there was only the Black Plauge or whatever it was...

Never was big on chemistry myself. Anatomy's always been more my thing. People over chemicals, you know?

Well, the plague. Lots of people dying, all the usual. It's a big downer.

I think I like Jane Austen better than Camus.

I know what you mean, at least I can listen to people- chemicals? Not so much.

Thats not very entertaining.

I'm sorry, I know I've heard of Jane Austen somewhere, but never Camus- who are they?

It really isn't.

Writers. Austen's really girlie and Camus' all about the angst.

I'm starting to run out of stuff to bring out with me.

What'd you do for fun?

Oh, I see.

Oh my, thats not very good.

Listen to music mostly, reading books are okay, its just not very easy to get a good copy and I don't know anyone who'd actualy enjoy reading a written-word book to me...
I mean- I'm sure Nate would ya know? Its just he is always working and I don't want to bother him with something like that.

I'm currently listening to Purcell's Fairy Queen....

Someone like you? I bet there's lots of people who would...I mean...yeah.

I've never heard it before. Is that you? Fairy Queen?

*smiles softly* I'm sure there is, everyone is just too busy, and I don't know about paying someone to...

Me? Fairy Queen? *laughs* nooo It's a retelling of A Mid-Summer's Night Dream
I like to listen to an album until I have the music memorized...

I would sometime if you wanted..

I liked that. Shakespeare is always good. I especially like the bit Oberon does about I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine: There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight...

*stammers kind of to a stop* ...sorry.

You would? I- really?
That would be amazing.

Don't be sorry, thats beautiful...

*stumbles a bit, grabbing onto his arm*

*starts to nod, but realizes it's not that effective* Yeah, I would.

It is, isn't it? I mean he wrote all this amazing stuff. I love reading him. He covers everything - love, hate, passion, war, greed, power, grief everything.

*steadies her* Sorry, I should have been paying more attention. We're almost at the coffee shop.

That would be lovely.
I believe I may have to ask you to do that every now and then.

*smiles* I fear all I have ever heard of him is some interp and a few operas...

Thanks, I'm sorry... thank you.

No problem.

Maybe if you wanted I could read you some?

I was too busy looking at you...

Really? That would be wonderful. *grins*

*pauses*
I'm sorry, what did you say?

*scrunches nose* What's THAAAT?

~~young!Saxsice/Cassie, because wee!Robber is just that awesomely adorable.~~

Boring, boring book. Don't know why the librarian thought I'd like it.

S'cause librarian's are dumb. They just wanna get rid of their borin' books and hope you lose them so they can make you pay for it.

I think maybe she's just running out of stuff for me to read.

You like to read? *scrunches nose*

*stuffs hands in his pockets* Got a lot of time out here with nothing to do.

Oh. You got nowhere fun to go?

'm kinda working...

What about you?

*snorts, points at very pregnant stomach* Yeah, like I can do anythin' fun with THIS.

I wasn't gonna say anything 'bout that. Boy or girl?

*giggles* Then you're waay nicer than most people. They usually stare at me for a while, then ask how they can help. I usually tell them by steppin' off.

*shrugs, rubs stomach* I dunno. Just call it 'baby'.

Isn't it kind of hard to help when it's that BIG?!

'Baby's a good name.

*face falls* It is big, isn't it? *sniffles, miserably* I'm a WHALE.

*shrugs* Don't get to name it. The father does.

*looks a tiny bit panicked* No! No! No! Nonononono! I didn't mean that!

I just meant you gotta be due soon, yeah?

*wipes eyes, still sniffling* Bout a month. *soft sob* Which I'm totally DREADIN' cause it's gonna HURT.

*catches a glimpse of him and tilts her head, cherry lollipop in tow*

Isn't there something more interesting you could be doing?

*stuffs book in his coat pocket along with his hands*

Uh-uh...hey. I was just waiting...

*almost laughs and presses her side against the wall beside him*

*grins* Hi. *eyebrows* Waiting for what? *tosses her lollipop away*

Uh, waiting for, um...friends of mine to get done working. I just sort of hang out until they're done for the night.

*watches the lollipop fly off* What're you doing tonight?

So you hang out- *reaches into his pocket and grabs the book, pulling it back out again* with your nose in a book?

Well, right now I'm talking to you. *smirky grin* And blowing off something I'm sure to get yelled at for tomorrow.

*gulps a little bit* Yeah, most of the time. It gets kind of boring out here.

And I'm glad you are. You're better than any book. *maybe a hint of a blush* What're you blowing off?

But you're the boy who likes to read, *slips the book back into his pocket* I almost forgot about that. *purposely quiet*

*flashes him a smile* Oh? *smiles wider when she catches the 'hint' of blush* And an extremely boring benefit dinner thing.

You remember, me that I read?

*dazzled* Yeah, you are. A lot better.

*frowns* Why're you going to a benefit dinner thing? Aren't those for old people?

Of course I remember ~~you~~.

*leans over and kisses his cheek* You're a little flatterer. I like it.

*rolls eyes* My father likes to 'keep up appearances'. That means I get to sit and be on my best behavior for hours on end. *grins* If he sends people looking for me, wanna help me hide?
