It’s time for us to peek in on Ari’s first meeting with the librarian. Which clearly goes well for our favorite nymph…
“Hello? Is anybody here? I’m looking for the some books on—”
An irritated hiss came from somewhere under the desk, startling Ari into silence. She took a long step backward and waited for the beast attached to that sound to pop out and attack her face.
Instead, a dark eyed woman with a mass of wild curls appeared, frowning. “You need to wait your turn.”
Ari looked carefully at the empty area around her—curiously devoid of all student activity, now that she thought about it—and blinked. “It is my turn. There’s no one else here.”
“Really.” The woman drew the word out into at least three syllables. “And since I’m so clearly not doing anything else—for example, fixing the computer that the lackwit volunteer helpfully scrubbed for me, therefore deleting all the database files I’ve been building for the past month and a half—I should drop everything and help your precious self immediately.”
Ari thought this might be a trick question. Not that she’d heard a question in there, but…
“This is the help desk.”
“Yes.” The woman’s smile was sharp enough to cut glass. “And I live to help. Please, tell me what it is you can’t find.”
