It was the end of the first back to school after Yule and the librarian was getting ready to close down shop for the day when she heard someone enter. Nothing like waiting 'til the last minute, she thought wryly while tugging her purse's strap up to sit more securely on her shoulder.
She had a hot date tonight - with her outdoor tub.
When Rhia came out between the stacks, she expected to see a student but instead, she was greeted by the sight of her father (with flowers) and a centaur. Huh. That was new. She smiled though, despite the unexpectedness of this visit. She accepted the potted flowers with both hands and rested it against her torso. "Thank you; they're beautiful," she said of the vibrantly colored flora. "Perry? Oh, you mean Troy," that wasn't a question; it was fact. Troy and his aliases, the doofus.
"Wait, what? I have a room in Alfheim?" Rhiannon was a bit surprised by the (seemingly) impromptu invitation. "I'll have to check to make sure someone can cover for me here. Otherwise, I'd love to go," she said. It might have seemed like a total one-eighty in attitude but there'd been a lot of conversations with friends and numerous sleepless nights mauling things over the last few weeks for her to reach this point.
