With a scoff the man looks away, a smile creeping up to his lips. " Yes, yes, Roland. My first thought upon the slightest mention of a threat, at every time, is Angela. But of course. " Two can play the game of being annoying, smug little rats every now and again. α

the mention of angela briefly breaks contact with hokma's own, resignation falls right at his feet. he returns with a sense of neutrality. ' naturally. ' it's spoken confidently, feigning nonchalance. ' wouldn't you think the same? ' α

" It's as if there is a coin flip every time this man appears. Either he will be bothering me until I am begging for him to leave, or he will offer me a ear for my ramblings. " " ... A good man, despite it all. " α

" Yet, your main concern is Angela herself. " His lips move upward just slightly, before returning to that natural grumpy expression. " Considering what we have gone through already... I am confident we will be alright, there's little for you to worry about. " α
α
α
' i doubt it. ' the topic is shut and sealed. ' i have a hunch that we'll be getting some more interesting visitors. should be fine. just so as long as they're not going to mess with the director or the library. ' α

A chuckle tries to make its way out of his throat, but stays in place. " How nice of you. " The man got up, walking over and staring at the bruise himself, then a gentle hold... " And I thought it was a serious injury from this little girly scare of yours. " α

@CH0KM4H β¦ [ No reply. She simply walks away. Hastened in each step. Tears begin to swell as she draws further, fading into the warm lights of her floor, cowering behind each shelf of knowledge. ] [ Such a crybaby, you. So pathetic, you. ]

" From what I heard, I doubt it was a real choice. Perhaps it was forced, or a decision taken on impulse. They cannot even speak properly outside the library. " " ... But I will not gossip about others, as long as they don't bother me. " α

' they're interesting, by chance, i managed to actually talk to them. they're a manager or something, but my biggest question is who and why the clock head. ' scratching his cheek. ' you're right though. ' α

" This has been happening too frequently, we must have a conversation with our assistants. It is not only with you that this has been happening. " His dry lips spoke, getting up from his position and carefully analyzing the books, making sure of their contents. α
α
"Yes, um, sorry. One of my assistants assumed these were just stories, and n-not um, Religious text." Hod crouched down, to pick up the books she dropped. She had already placed Hokma's books on his desk, so these were just a random assortment of genres. "O-oh, thank y-you..."

" Understandable, coming from you. " Nodding along. " ... The timepiece. They have been around here quite frequently. The ticking gets quite bothersome, but their presence seems to have improved some of the moods from the librarians. Such a strange individual. " α
α

' a few, yeah. i'm not so sure how i feel about a few of them. but angela i think sees the reasoning behind them, so i just follow along. ' he could go without a few of the guests though. ' any stood out to you? ' α

A sigh. Did he really look this vulnerable? The man got up and walked over to the clumsy librarian, picking up some of the books himself. " I was not asleep, I only had my eyes closed... These books, I assume they got on your floor by accident? " α
α
"AH!" A loud, sudden scream came from Hod's mouth. Who knew such a meek girl could yell that loud? The jump made her drop some of the books she held, them hitting the ground with a thud. With a heavy breath, she spoke. "O-o-oh, I'm s-sorry I woke you, Mr H-Hokma."

The steps were enough to alarm the old man, who then sat more properly. " Hello to you too, Hod. " A snarky little comment... but he still seemed quite calm. α
α
Hod quietly stepped into the room to deliver some books. She had ended up with some religious texts by accident. She was about to speak, but seeing him "asleep" she paused. After quietly placing down some of the books, Hod tried to sneak out without waking him.

" Not much, so far. " Adjusting himself on the chair, more prepared for an actual interaction. ...It's a lie. A certain date is coming, and he's been thinking about it for some reason. " ... We have had quite the interesting guests lately, don't you think? " α

' it feels like the old man enjoys rambling sometimes. ' roland sat opposite to hokma with relative distance. his head tilted curiously. ' what's the topic on your mind today? ' α

" ... It's nothing too interesting, I assure you. " Indeed, it was nothing. Just reading, thinking, pondering... perhaps a card game every now and again. " Still, I appreciate the curiosity. Would you like more ramblings from an old man? " α
α
α
α
' well when there's snacks and drinks, i can't help but linger. ' just a big and greedy man. ' also, i just want to. does a reason need to be there? i guess i'm curious of what you do while in here alone too. ' α

A roll of his eyes, finally acknowledging Roland and now staring at him. " For what reason? I thought you'd take more enjoyment out of being with Angela, or any other of the patrons that may offer you something. Like coffee, or tea... " Jealous, much? α
α
α
α
' no, just thought i'd visit to make sure you didn't expire overnight. ' a hand held him up against the edge of the table. ' actually wanted to try my hand at hanging out on this floor, i know, you're probably thrilled. ' α

It's easy to notice when Roland of all people is around. The usual sound of his shoes carelessly tapping against his floor is one he has, reluctantly, grown used to. His eyes open, looking at the other. " You are awfully quiet. " α

Eyes opened, not looking at the man, yet noticing his presence. " Do you need something. " α

waving his hand silently and within a normal distance, wondering if he was actually asleep the whole time. α

Sitting on his chair, eyes closed, he seems calm for once. It almost looks like he is sleeping. α
