a startled blink at the other,  posture stiffening in surprise before forcing herself to relax.  indeed,  a dryly forced smile touches her lips.  “apologies.  i don’t mean to look so sullen.”

"someone" ..      hm,    of course i could help you.   will it only be these books?

“i was just lost in my thoughts for a while.  though if you aren’t busy would you mind helping me return these books to the archives?  usually i have help but someone seems to be hiding away again.”

@femmeitae         ✴︎        no, no. i thought i’d being these for everybody here, especially since i’m barging into this place. and in case i end up meeting somebody who wants to kick me out.  [ she shrugs a little, still offering out the pastry. ]  you can take two if you’d like, i baked them myself. :D

eden smiles subtly.  perhaps she’s just as guilty as being  “so serious”.  “that’s true.  it’s hard to smile in these walls.”  her eyes widen a fraction as the container is shoved close to her.  “are these for your friend?  i’d feel terrible taking one if these are theirs.”

@femmeitae        ✴︎      it’s alright, i don’t usually find myself having fun here. everyone is so serious..  [  amélie trails off, eyes lighting up suddenly as she thrusts a container that was opened to the lawyer. ]  i came with some sweets. do you like éclairs?
