T&C, Tuesday, 5/25

Didi had to open the store because Apu was out of town (something about his octuplets -- she lost track, and Apu just looked harried when she asked about them). As she approached the store, she was surprised to see a tall man clad in a kind of toga made from a stained beach towel prying at the door. He cursed at the lock under his breath, but worked away at it with certain fingers.

She watched him until he got the lock open, then spoke up from the shadows. "You could've just waited for me to unlock the store, y'know."

Henry turned to look at her with wide eyes verging on panic. He'd spent the last day in 1983, had gotten into a fight, and was generally not at his best. He didn't want to deal with the police today. He licked his lips and said, "I like a challenge."

"I can see that," Didi nodded slowly, not seeming especially bothered by all of this, and went past him to open the shop door. "Come on in, claim some clothes..." She paused midsentence, recognizing the man. "Oh. You're Jono's boss at the library."

Henry could have really dealt without knowing this girl knew who he was, but he was game. "Ah, yes. Yes I am. May we continue this conversation after I'm dressed?"

The human insistence on modesty was still a little weird, but Didi shrugged her assent and watched the librarian stride purposefully, if bare-footed, into the racks of shirts. She wondered why the naked people always showed up during her shift.
