002 ♔ accidental video/action at the library

[anelegantmyth]

[You'd think, by now, she'd be floating around like the social butterfly that she was. Chatting up anyone she finds and making new friends here and there.

Nope.

Day in and day out, she'd be working. Classes, counselling or just hiding in some secluded corner of the library with a mountain of books and some tea. Today being no different, one would find her in the library reading...fairytales. She's been reading mythology books all her life. Time for something a little different.

But she didn't really notice her Lucario fiddling with her laptop.]

Lucario, what do you think about this? Princess by day, monster by night. It's basically Lucian!

[Have a soft chuckle coming from this lovely lady as she observes the video.]

A good book I take it Miss Cynthia?

[anelegantmyth]

[She looks around for the source of that voice. Now, she was sure her corner was nice and secluded but...oh look, Lucario was playing with her laptop. Figures.]

Oh! Hey there.

Yeah, interesting for me maybe. I found these fairytale books and these are definitely not the ones I've heard of before.

The academy has fairytale books? Man, I've totally neglected to stop by the library mostly on account of I've had little interest in rifling through the books. Although it's weird a fighting academy would have books on such stories. I'd have thought they'd cater to books with, well, fighting in them?

[She blinks realizing she's likely rambling on off of the subject. With a wave of her hand in dismissal she turned back to fairytales.]

I do have to say, my favorite stories are the cute ones involving romance. I love how the prince always ends up finding the girl of his dreams...

[anelegantmyth]

Well, the academy also has children. Any decent library should have a children's section, and I won't deny that I like rifling through children's books once in a while. Once you've experienced a week's worth of old dusty tomes from the period of creation. You'll yearn for really light books too, and...you know, the general fiction section.

[But the way she talks about romance...]

Do you have a boyfriend?

[Had Mona been drinking a beverage at that moment one could have clearly heard her sputtering out of being caught off guard. Instead she made a loud squeak followed by a choking sound as she flopped backwards in her chair. Good thing she caught the edge of her desk just before falling out of it/.

W-what?! Kind of out of the blue to be asking such a personal question of me don't you think?

[anelegantmyth]

[Well...she WAS the guidance counselor. But really, she could care less if she answered her or not. Cynthia just knows that when someone starts going on about romance novels in that tone. Something's up.]

Hey, you're that one one with the "glitters and ponytas" look in your eye at the mention of romance.

[She composes herself back into her chair, flicking a lock of stray hair out of her face.]

W-well, I mean, when has it ever been a crime for a girl like me to enjoy romantic stories? To dream of romance even? I'm sure all women my age like to indulge in hopeless romantic mush. Doesn't automatically mean I have a boyfriend or I don't you know.
