DAY 36: LIBRARY

[adorkabledragon.livejournal.com]

Keman retreated to libraries almost instinctively. He liked books. Books were simpler to deal with, and they didn't change. No matter what, the ending always stayed the same. Even if it was a bad ending, that ending was still a constant. Constants were good. They didn't surprise him, didn't show up out of nowhere and throw everything off kilter.

This had.

His mother. They'd taken Alara and done horrible things to her. Made her forget, fed her lies. He wouldn't wish it on anyone, not even Myre. And that was what would happen to him, too, if he wasn't careful. He'd lose himself completely. He was already slipping, already more halfblood than dragon. How long before halfblood turned to human, and Keman became Calvin?

At any rate, he needed to tell Shana everything that had happened. Alara was her mother, too. Keman left a note for his sister on the board, letting her know where he'd be, and then pulled the largest book he could find off the shelf: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. It looked to be a massive collection of plays and poetry. Good. Opening it to a random page, he settled down and began to read.

[for Shana (and Valyn and Shadow?)]

"Oy! Watch it with the Mrs.!" Donna snapped immediately at the woman, but she was soon trying to pull the Doctor away from her. Oh, there'd been an announcement. Right, then they had to go or the nurses would get their panties in a bunch. "Right, later," she sighed but agreed. She didn't think he'd be more given to talking around Rose, but maybe she was good at getting him to talk. She'd see.
