Research!

After finding her way to Milliways again, Iris finally learned about the rooms upstairs.

And there is a library!









A copy of Aesop's Fables gets produced for Iris, and is read several times over with great interest and confusion (at times), before really thinking about the opportunities.

"...Where could I find a scroll on...genetics?"

The book provided by the library engrosses Iris for quite some time - she gives up the attention required to hide her wings from view after the first hour.

After his meeting with the don, Charles has been rereading and marking up the monograph. At one point when walking around the flat, the kitchen door turns into Milliways and most of the seats are full so he heads upstairs.

This ends up getting him a little lost before he felt the shape of Iris' mind, he grins and follows it to find her.

Once he enters the library, he's distracted by all the books and brushes her wings as he finds a first edition of Darwin's Voyage.

He jumps a little at her oh and quickly closes the book, "Do what?"
balancingminds: (confused)

"Oh, I wasn't trying to be quiet, well not anymore than I normally do in a library,"

Though he did know she was here before spotting her wings but then a book pulled him in. The book is getting slipped back on the shelf as she's far more interesting.

He smiles and doesn't quite glimpse the book she's reading,

"Well, I was looking for you and I'm glad I found you."
balancingminds: (not laughing)

[personal profile] balancingminds 2012-04-26 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, I was. Milliways surprised me and then I realized you were around and found you. Keep me company and tell me what brought you to the library,"

It's not a terribly good line but its also completely honest.

He takes the book and has a moment of looking it over as its a beautiful edition,

"This would be where to begin. Mendel helped create many of the underpinnings of my work."

"It depends what you want to understand," As he's probably a better resource than any book.

[personal profile] balancingminds 2012-04-26 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
He blinks for a moment as that's more than he expected and he takes her hand with a smile,

"Then ask me and I'll answer."
balancingminds: (side glance)

"Of course, its a rather unique city that's built around learning. Should I tell you everything or do you want to know anything in particular?"

As he has an idea of how he might show it to her.
balancingminds: (serious)

"I'm a student and a teacher, which keeps me busy. My focus is on my own work but I also tutor students to help them make sense of what they're learning,"

He looks around for another chair and instead finds a stool which he sits on that puts him looking a little up at her.
balancingminds: (skeptical)

[personal profile] balancingminds 2012-04-26 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"I enjoy them most of the time, they're not perfect and we all have our bad days,"

Sometimes he does wish he could just hide in his work but teaching suits him.

"I'm the only one studying what I do and I'm quite good at it,"

He is the best at what he does but he doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself in interactions. That means he's perhaps not as favored as he might be.
balancingminds: (i trust you)

[personal profile] balancingminds 2012-04-26 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, yes, my teachers do in their own ways. Its hard to explain, there are lots of complicated interplays between people in the department. I find the best place for myself."
