The thin slanting light of a winter midafternoon is sifting in through the high windows as two figures step into the main room of the Library of the New Watchers' Council: a vast round vaulted space lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.

Andrew's seen it before; he's looking at Nita, grinning in anticipation of her reaction.

Nita is doing a pretty good job of not looking like a kid who just got handed a king-size candy bar.

Pretty good. Not perfect.

Date: 2008-11-07 04:27 am (UTC)

Not quite perfect.

In a confiding whisper: "I know, right?"

Date: 2008-11-07 04:32 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Mischevious!Nita)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
"Look at all these!"

She inhales deeply -- leather, parchment, paper, dust, ink -- and grins wider.

stilljustandrew: (confiding)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
Andrew beams happily. (He knew she'd react like this.)

"So," still quietly, "do you want to start right in with the Sulcaric syllabary, or look around first?"

Date: 2008-11-07 05:20 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Slight smile)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
"Let's check out this Sulcaric stuff. I can look around afterwards if my brain's still intact."

Date: 2008-11-07 05:45 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (smile 2)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
An aggrieved sigh. "I told you, it doesn't work like that -- Oh, good, Rachel's here."

He raises his hand in a wave to a young woman, about a quarter of the way around the circumference of the room and coming closer.

Date: 2008-11-07 05:48 am (UTC)

Nita offers a bright, friendly grin, hooking her thumbs into the pockets of her pants.

Date: 2008-11-07 05:59 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (serious 2)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
"Hey, Rachel. Um, this is Nita, she's a friend from New York --"

Date: 2008-11-07 06:01 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Slight smile)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
"Dai'stiho," Nita puts in, extending a hand. "Nice to meet you."

Date: 2008-11-09 12:23 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Wizard!Nita)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
"Uh, no -- a wizard."

Date: 2008-11-09 02:56 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (confiding)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
Hastily: "It's a different branch of the Art, you might say."

To Nita, he adds, "Rachel's a witch. Training under Ms. Harkness."

Date: 2008-11-09 03:01 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Slight smile)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
"Oh! Okay." Nita grins. "Always glad to meet a colleague."

Date: 2008-11-09 03:20 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Wizard!Nita)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
"Yeah." She shoots Andrew a glance. "I've got kind of a concentration in non-human languages, so he asked me to take a look at some -- Sulcaric, right? Sulcaric writings."

Date: 2008-11-09 04:17 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (geek.)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
"Do you have the account of the Dustrealm Wars?" Andrew asks, before Nita can answer.

Date: 2008-11-09 04:42 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Wizard!Nita)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
Nita lags a little.

"Should I have held off on the wizard thing?"

Date: 2008-11-09 04:56 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (serious 2)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
In a similar undertone: "No, you're fine. Magic-users call themselves all kinds of things here, depending on where they learned it."

Date: 2008-11-09 04:57 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Slight smile)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
"Okay. Cool."

With that settled, she slips her hands into her pockets and lengthens her stride a little to catch up with Rachel.

Date: 2008-11-09 05:13 am (UTC)
nita_callahan: (Slight smile)
From: [personal profile] nita_callahan
. . . With great feeling: "Oof."

Would saying she looks enchanted be in poor taste?

"Start at the beginning, you think?" she asks Andrew.
