Parents' Weekend Meet & Greet, The Park, Friday Afternoon

The day had dawned crisp and clear, but by the time afternoon had rolled around... it was really still kind of ridiculously warm for fall. People could probably get away with not wearing a sweater, even.

Which made rather good weather for a picnic, convenient since that was the traditional way of kicking off the Fandom High Parents' (and assorted other relatives, friends, acquaintances, or sometimes even enemies, but that was harder to fit nicely on a banner) Weekend. So there were rows of picnic tables decked out in blue and yellow, laid out with just about any sort of foodstuff one could imagine. And just in case there was any lingering doubt as to the purpose of the picnic, a glittery banner (Petra's work, naturally) adorned the registration tables:

She was talking to him! This was progress! If they were really, really lucky, maybe they'd even go several more minutes before they started yelling at each other.

"A junior librarian, huh?" Fury asked. "So, what sorts of responsibilities do you have?"

"An aide," she said, setting her chin. "I work at the circulation desk, and I organize shelves when it's slow. It means I get to read whenever things aren't busy."

He ... didn't remember that was important to her? That shouldn't hurt.

He just hadn't put together "library" with "reading for fun", that was all. To Caraway, libraries were places to do research, and that was it.

...Okay, and he had forgotten that Rinoa liked to read. But as soon as she said it, it conjured up memories of her as a little girl, curled up on her mother's lap with her nose in a book. Those were happier times, and he couldn't help but smile. "You always did like books," he mused.

And that time, a very small smile flickered over her lips. "I still do," she said. "So ... so I'll show you that, then. The library. Maybe my teachers."

She wasn't sure about her friends. He didn't like Seifer. That could get messy.
