“If I find homework attacking anyone I will fight it but I don’t think it will come after me for breaking curfew. Also, learning things is good.”

"Just so." El moves off into the stacks. "If the library's in a good mood it'll be just - there, that's mine."

“D’you want any stuff for it?”

"...it could use a better lamp and one of those stands that keep books open."

Kareen can provide those, although, uh, the lamp is going to be battery operated since she has yet to handle a magical one and doesn’t know how they’re made.

That's fine! "Thank you!"

“You’re very welcome. I don’t suppose anything you’re studying is something I can help with, yet.”

"The languages might be, dunno how that works for you, but I meant to revise for Mal Studies."

“Yeah, can’t help with that. Yet. Oh well.”

"Cheers though." And she pulls out a book.

And Kareen wanders off in search of more books and/or potential ways to be helpful.

"Oh it's you."

“Yep! Do you need anything?”

"I hear you're gonna stay up all night, kill mals."

“I have slightly commandeered a dead student’s room but I don’t think curfew is going to consider that valid.”

"D'you want company?"

“I would love company! If it wouldn’t be a terrible idea.”

"I don't usually stay out all night but I go out after curfew sometimes. When I can't sleep."

“I met a lovely girl with a sleep affinity who helped me take an unusually effective nap earlier, if that sounds helpful.”

"I can't go knock on some girl's door at two in the morning, she wouldn't answer."

“I meant this evening before curfew, if you’re planning to stay up all night too.”

"Oh, nah, I'll probably go crash after a few hours."

“Ah, okay then. May I hold your sword a moment?”

"...what for."

She appears a copy of Suze’s rapier, tosses it between hands, and disappears it. “Anything I’ve held, I can make a copy of.”
