Who: Aya Kimura and Contessa Hart (Roulette)
What: Aya goes to pick up a held book and meets Contessa
When: Wednesday afternoon
Where: Library
Rating: Probably low, Aya isn't much for high ratings.

Aya could pretty well be left to her own devices without too much trouble. She did miss spending time with her brothers, but she didn't need them around as much as she wanted them around. She spent most of her free time these days experimenting with new recipes or just reading a good book. Both of these activities had taken her to the library a lot recently, and now she was making another trip to the building, this time for a book she had had on hold.

She made her way toward the library, thinking about the things going on in her life. There wasn't much compared to Riku who had gotten a girlfriend, changed claimers and was now in the process of making a baby with her due to the new mandate. She felt bad for Riku and Kitty having to deal with this so early in their relationship, but she supposed that for some it was worse. Those, like her, who didn't have a boyfriend at all and were chosen to have babies. She was glad she hadn't been one of them.

Once she arrived at the library, she stepped inside and walked over to look at the shelves to see if any other books caught her eye. She didn't have any checked out yet, so if she left with just the one, she'd probably finish it in a couple of days and be back soon. Not that that would be a bad thing. She was there a lot as it was and it didn't really bother her.

Seeing nothing that really caught her eye, she made her way to the desk and caught the attention of the woman behind it. It wasn't the blonde she was used to seeing there, this woman was younger--probably around her own age give or take a few years--with dark brown hair. "Excuse me, I had a book on hold and I think it's in?" she asked in her generally soft tone of voice. She didn't tend to get loud unless she was around those she knew well. And those were few and far between.

Contessa had been fairly busy at work; it seemed as if the whole town had decided to return books this morning and there was a small shipment of new books to add to the Library's collection so between returning each to it's proper place and adding the new to inventory, she had her hands a little full.

Her brown eyes were fixed on the screen of the computer she was working at, glancing up on occasion only to note the people entering and leaving the building, and making sure there was no extra items in their hands on the latter part of their trip. It wasn't as if she thought someone would really steal a book, but then again, you never really knew!

She had greeted the girl entering the Library, but lost herself back in her work for a few moments until the same girl approached her again with a question. "Okay, can I have your name?" Without leaving the chair she was in, she scooted backwards and to the side a bit until she was seated before a separate counter which housed a few books with a sticky note on the covers. She looked back up to the girl, easily being able to see her from this location as the Librarian counter was clear and open.

Aya knew the process of picking up a hold too well, as a matter of fact, she knew the library too well. It was usually Darla she saw at the counter, though she knew that the blonde wasn't the only one who worked there. A part of her still wasn't used to giving her name. Usually, Darla would pull her holds out as soon as she saw her walk in. "Aya Kimura, sorry," she told the girl. "Darla knows me, so I'm not really used to giving my name."

She tilted her head slightly, wondering if the girl was new there or if she had just never been there at the same time as her. "How long have you been working here?" she asked curiously, hoping she wasn't prying. It wasn't necessarily a personal question, but she didn't generally like asking questions when she didn't know someone. One never knew what someone else would consider prying.

Some people were very private. Aya could identify with that herself. There were a lot of things she didn't like to be asked about. Her family life for one. Her brothers were an okay topic, but if it got around to her parents, it got much more personal for her. Mostly because her mother was dead and her father was too drunk to ever be around. The Kimura siblings had basically raised themselves.
