Taisce Moore is a knight with a shining M4. (taisce) wrote in immune_ic,
"The Death Chamber? That sounds ominous," she laughed a bit and set her pencil down.
"Umm, well, aside from my newly acquired position of being in charge of the supply room," she leaned on the desk now. "I pretty much just help O'Brien where he needs it and try not to go crazy from boredom any other time."
That was the thing that the two ladies had in common, they were both friends with O'Brien. There were a million questions about him that she wanted to ask Ellie. Ellie had known him longer than Taisce, and maybe there was some insight there? Taisce was hesitant though, because she didn't know either of the very well, and really didn't want to cause problems because she decided to be nosy.
She watched as Ellie thumbed through the book, taking in the musty smell of it and the other contents of the box. She had the urge to go and sit in a library and read. Old book smell did that to her. It had been a while since she'd curled up with a good book. Maybe she'd find the series that O'Brien had mentioned he liked. She was more than willing to give a new series a try.
"It's nice to know that O'Brien's well cared for. I have this irrational fear that he could just waste away in the guard tower if he didn't have you, Luke, or myself to check on him." It was silly, and she knew it. But the thought had crossed her mind quite a few times since they'd first met.
