”Another time” is what he’d told Gael at Ram’s party when Gael mentioned she was also in attendance and he’d held to that the rest of the night. Basically underwear and a see through dress, and out of respect for Gael’s wishes he truly hadn’t even glanced at Fina the entire night. So why standing outside of the archives did he feel like he was walking into a trap? He’d hurt Gael who’d moved back after massive heartbreak and she was protective. Standing at the doors to the archive he wondered if she was receiving the same information Jani had relayed to him. “I guess that doesn’t matter now,” he mumbled.

He pushed the door open entering a room that looked much like a cross between the reference room of a library with desks at the far end. “Hello?” His voice echoed against the stone walls. Maybe they were on break, or taking a dip? He knew they were selkies but it didn’t make sense that they’d leave the building open while they were swimming in the harbor. He took to perusing the record shelves, would they even have anything about werewolves? He doubted his family would be among the annals if so, but it was worth a look while he waited for someone to return.

After their conversation the night before Fina had put her foot down and said she would spend the day at the archives with Gael. Yes, she had to cry off from a studying session she had planned with some people in the course before their final exam on Friday, but she wanted to be there for her brother. That way he could take breaks when he needed to, and she could study in quiet. She was one of the few regular visitors, so she wasn't expecting anyone else in.

Gael had gone out for a swim in the lake a while back and she had ignored her needs for long enough while reviewing a tricky piece of theory that she eventually had to make a dash for the bathroom. Unfortunately she had forgotten that it would be the time that the boat would be arriving. When she heard the door go she looked at her watch and muttered an oath. The voice said hello too, which meant it wasn't Gael, who would probably have gone with a variation on 'I'm back'.

Finishing her business quickly she called out as she opened the door. "I'm on my way!" she called brightly. She walked quickly from the door tucked away at the far side from the entrance, looking for whoever had decided to come over to the archives.

"Sorry about that," she said, spotting a tall blondish guy looking at some of the shelves as she finished drying off her hands on the back of her jeans. She approached him, a smile on her face even though she was clearly slightly rushed. "Welcome to the archives, I'm not the regular librarian, but I'm familiar with most of where everything is. How can I help you?" she asked.

This was his sister, Fin. A family nickname he'd assumed. Their similarities were uncanny, striking features: dark hair, searching eyes, a similar smile to the one that had drawn him those weeks before at Sunny's. He reminded himself that they'd not met at the party at Gael's request and now he could see why. That night she'd been wearing what Gael had described as 'basically underwear and a see-through dress' and that would not have been good even if their talk over text message might've been sooner and in person. I still should've had that talk in person. He shook the thought from his mind. It would've been harder in person. He would've reached out to comfort him, maybe give him one last kiss. No, he would've hurt Gael more than he knew he already had. All in the name of comforting him.

She wasn't the regular librarian, but did that mean Gael was here? Possibly taking a swim. A tinge of envy bubbled up inside him at how easy their transformations were. He'd have to wait until the next full moon to not feel any of this. "How complete are the archives?" He looked back at the shelves perusing for anything that might look like it was wolf related. "Do they cover the more dangerous supernaturals?" It was different being the dangerous one when you'd taken years of practice to mitigate the danger, but his kind were still seen as uncontrollable, mindless, and hungry.
