[She makes the post somewhere outside with the wall of some building as the backdrop. She's wearing a quiet smile as she leans back against the wall. There are no noticeable injuries on her person though she does look a bit tired.]

I hope no one was badly hurt during the earthquake.

[She looks off to a side, thoughtful for a moment before turning back towards the communicator.]

I don't suppose anyone have any books they could recommend? I usually prefer reading about myths and folklore, but I'll give just about anything a try. [Because, you know, she's going to be unbelievably free at least until she's recovered.]

I suffered a mild concussion during the earthquake. The doctors said I should probably avoid any strenuous activities for a few days so I can't do patrols. [Pause.] If you need it, I can come into the office to help. [She sounds almost hopeful about this. It's kind of sad, but having a concussion essentially means she's banned from doing two out of three things she usually spends her time doing. And there's only so much time she can spend reading books until she's gets restless.]

Hey.

[She smiles a little, and angles her communicator away for a moment to show off her new bike before returning the focus to herself. So this was why she made the post outside...]

I got my license.

[This comes in a bit late. He was out the entire day.]

Looking for something to do while you can't go on patrol, eh?

[He knows your type.]

...is it that obvious?

[thewarisover]

Just a bit. It'll be our secret.

[blue_wayfinder]

So does that mean there's something I can help with?

[pawned]

Books, Aqua? Surprising. Are you injured, depressed, or something similar?

[Video]

[blue_wayfinder]

Injured. And why is it surpising?

We first met when you decided to bring a crippled man some clothes in the clinic. I had no pressing need for the clothing, but I wanted them, and you delivered. There's an entire city asking for help some miles away from here and you're staying around, asking for books.

[shrug] It's not consistent with the impression that you gave me and have continued to give me through the past few weeks, that you're a good samaritan and a bleeding heart, eager to help those in need. Hence my question.

[Video]

[blue_wayfinder]

[A sigh.]

As I am, I might just cause more problems for the people helping. [And if that proved that she was a bleeding heart, well, she really didn't mind that much,]

I don't know any myth books in particular, but I know there's a section in the library.

And I'm pretty used to earthquakes--I'm fine. You seem to be holding up alright, too.

[video]

[blue_wayfinder]

I was lucky, I guess. [Well. For a given value of 'lucky', anyway.]

I'm glad to see you're all right.

[video]

[tauborn]

Yeah. Why are you looking for good books? Or... are you always looking and have just run out of familiar titles?

[blue_wayfinder]

I normally read when I'm not doing anything else, but I'm going to have a lot more free time in the next few days because I was told I shouldn't do anything strenuous. [She's not exactly happy about this, but doctor's orders and all that.]

[oblivious_klutz]

Aqua! I'm glad you're all right after everything. Well, I mean, considering. Things could have been a lot worse. You don't hurt at least, right? [She seems to be out and about, at least.]

I guess I should think about checking the library myself sometime. Properly, I mean.

Voice;

[blue_wayfinder]

[Well, her head still hurts a little but they tell her that's normal for concussions.] I'm glad to see that you're unhurt too, Colette.

You should. They have a lot of interesting books there.

Voice;

[oblivious_klutz]

I'm all right. I just hurt my ankle.

I guess they probably don't have books from home, but I would like to learn more about this place and it's history if I can.

[fourleafbrat]

Books?

[Clover laughs a little.] Are you getting bored already?

[blue_wayfinder]

A little. [She doesn't do a lot beyond training and patrols and reading. And now she can't do two out of three of those.]

I don't think I've ever had this much free time before. I'm not sure what to do with all of it. [Does she sound sheepish? Just a little.]

[fourleafbrat]

[There's a shrug as she's trying to decide which books she enjoyed enough to even bother mentioning.]

Still. I don't think free time's anything to complain about, right?

[...heh. Then she thinks of a better question:]

What kind of books are ya looking for?

[blue_wayfinder]

[A small laugh.] I guess not.

I like reading about folklore, but if you have anything you'd recommend that's not that I won't mind giving it a try.

Video | Soob, I totally saw this late ;w;

[recitings]

[He beams at her, even as he was still helping with the relief efforts.]

Good work. I'm proud of you.

[It feels a little funny, saying that aloud.]

Video | never late~ :3

[blue_wayfinder]

Thank you. I couldn't have done it without your help.

[recitings]

I wasn't very known for my skill in teaching, so I'm glad that my instruction did help you. [He chuckles. This place really did have quite an effect on him.]

Interested in folklore?

[Video]

[ih8spiders]

[Whoa, someone's asking about books. This is kind of a rare thing in the network lately.]

Folklore?

[Video]

[blue_wayfinder]

Yes. I like reading about the legends and beliefs of other places.

[Video]

[ih8spiders]

I've read an interesting one, although it was more of an encyclopedia of fact versus myth. Would you like the title?
