The library, Ichabod is finding, could take up his time forever.

He's at a table with yet another stack of books.

"Then we have an agreement."

He smiles back.

She nods, and turns back down the aisle.

"Bloody hell."

They're back at the main reading room, emerging at the opposite end of the table from where they left.

She laughs, turning back to him. "Can you believe this?"

[1stwitness]

Ichabod chuckles, adding a note to his map.

"Well, it is consistency of a sort."

[lady_bols]

"Yes, if you're a ball of string that's spent an hour in the company of a playful kitten, perhaps."

She spins on one heel again.

"But this is actually good. I should get back, and next time, I'll bring a proper notebook. And maybe a picnic lunch."

[1stwitness]

"And next time, perhaps we can take more time with the library's holdings", he suggests. "Now we have established how it functions."

[lady_bols]

"Yes, I like this plan."

She reaches out and touches his arm, her grip sliding down to grip his hand.

"Thanks. For the adventure, and -- for listening."

[1stwitness]

He squeezes her hand, briefly.

"You are quite welcome, my friend."
