does anybody still need a tutor for the exams? I'm in the library and I've got nothing better to do for the rest of the day so let me know.

[Not that anyone usually takes a guy like Jack up on such offers, but hopefully by leaving his name off he might get a bite. He isn't so much hanging out in the library as he is hiding there — people tend not to try starting shit with him here so much, after all — but he still enjoys his time here. He has a good feeling about the next few days, anyway.]

Jack? [ Tessa's head comes out from behind a bookshelf. ] I thought I'd find you here.

[wouldnotkindly]

[He's perhaps more surprised to see her than he should be, but it doesn't show.]

Hey. [He smiles awkwardly at her.] What's up?

[likeboudica]

[ Considering she's always around the library? Yeah. ]

I was looking for a book and found three other ones instead that I want to read. Does that ever happen to you?

[wouldnotkindly]

Heh, sometimes. [Though he really only tends to read for leisure whatever she recommends him, but she doesn't need to know that.] So what'd you find?

[likeboudica]

[ Setting down a pile of books on the table carefully, then sitting down in a chair considerably less carefully. ] That one's just a girly romance novel; I don't think you want to read that. But look, here. You might like this one.

[wouldnotkindly]

Oh yeah? [He leans over to get a look.] What is it?

ignore that change of journal here sup

[modernboudica]

It's about this friendship/relationship between two people. Really well-written, too. [ Pushing it towards him. ]

oh hello

[wouldnotkindly]

Huh... [He takes it, turning it over to get a look at the back cover.] So it's good, I take it.

[modernboudica]

Have I ever disappointed you?
