6/19: waver

[randori]

[ Library. Library library library—-

Natsuo had gotten the tip that Waver can be found here often- he wouldn't know, as much as he stops by sometimes to see what people are reading, he doesn't have that much interest in the books themselves- but he hangs around the library as much as he can, weaving in and out of the rows of shelves to find who he's looking for. ]

Lord! My Lord!! Hey!! Psst!

[ Is he calling out to him? Trying to keep it a secret? Who even knows. ]

Mnh...wait.

[ however, waver doesn’t hand it back yet. there’s something about it— as if clouding waver’s mind. maybe it was just hastiness to get natsuo off his back, or stress from these two weeks.

but as soon as that memory clicks, natsuo will see waver turn pale, eyes wide in surprise. waver feels like his chest is . ]

I know this. Where the bloody hell did you find this?

[randori]

[ He knows this. But it's hard to feel excited when Waver looks like he's about to keep over right here. ]

The library! Here in the library— are you okay? You know this?!

[londonstar]

Yes, yes, I know this, idiot!

[ waver drags a hand down his face, doing his best to steady his breath and keep himself together. it’s fine, waver velvet. it’s fine.

there’s something more important at hand, anyways. ]

The library, huh? [ he frowns, giving natsuo a tired glance. it’s as if everything is clicking into place in his head. ] You’re one of them, too, aren’t you? A historian.

[ —ugh ]

'cause there's no other way I'd be in the library? [ Like... there's at urge that always draws him here, even if he doesn't want to stay. ] "Too" mean you're one too, right? The last one!
