Book Haven, Friday [5/9]

Liir got there exceedingly early, which gave him the time to do a thorough dusting, a sweeping, and a check over the shelves to make sure everything was in it's place. By the time he was done, it was about time for opening, at which point the tea came out along with cookies and a couple of brownies he'd had left over from baking this week. Quite content (mostly because he'd resolutely banned all negative thoughts from his mind, from missing Andrew to... well, to everything else), he went in search of something to read before settling down with a very interesting book.

He was, however, still wearing black.

The Book Haven was open.

He was a little tired since, regardless of what mental barriers he'd put up, he couldn't sleep very well.

But he looked cheerful enough.

Ino? Totally totally showed up way early, before she'd gone to the picnic, bouncing in the door and darting over for a hug.

Someone was over-excited, yes.

He caught her with a laugh, closed his book, and kissed her hair.

"Should I stick a candle in one of the brownies for you?"

She clung to him, giggling. "No! I don't need the sugar," she didn't need to be more hyper. "Guess what?"

He rolled his eyes a little before laughing.

"I couldn't dream of what it could be. What?"

"I'm a big sibling!" Ino was very very gleeful about this. "I haven't met him yet, but the school gave me another sibling!"

He smiled at her.

"Well," he said, all bluster, "I'll have to check this young jack's credentials. See he's proper material."

He was laughing, though.

She laughed. "No scaring him! Be nice"

He pouted playfully.

"I doubt I could scare a flea. I'm the most harmless creature you know."

Beat.

"...and of course I'll be nice."

"I know," she assured him, still grinning. "But I want to make sure. What kind of a sibling would I be if I let my big brother scare my new brother on his first day?"

"...a very poor one," he agreed with a faint shudder. It's gone after a moment, genuinely unimportant even if the echo was unavoidable.

"What's his name? Where's he from?"

"Richard Grayson," she chirped, hugging him tighter for a moment. "And I don't know anything else."

"Well, he sounds like someone from Earth. It's got that sound to it," he commented. "It's just a guess though."

Ino shrugged. "I just hope he likes me," that got a nod, "because that'd be sad if he didn't."

"What's not to like?" he pointed out with a bemused smile.

"You're totally biased," she said, grinning.

"I had to get that way," he pointed out.

"Well..." she considered that, "true, I guess."

"Exactly."

He gave her a squeeze.

"So I suppose I should go to the picnic after work so that I can see you and your new sibling?"

That earned a bounce. "And to meet all the new people!"

Ino totally totally loved new people day.

"I'm not allowed to hide in a tree?"

"Liir!" Ino laughed. "No hiding! Absolutely not!"

We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.

...blame the iPod
