I’m far-sighted. ( it’s a lie, but. he’s wearing the glasses, maybe that makes sense? maybe mondo won’t catch him on it. that’s totally how he found the stuff. totally. he tugs on mondo’s sleeve, starts pulling him off towards the rows where he’d found the woodworking books. a good of a place to start as any, right? )

It wouldn’t be a library if we weren’t allowed to borrow books, right? Just a uh. . room full of bookshelves and books! I don’t think anyone would mind. ( jon releases the sleeve to take off towards the isles, fingers brushing along the spines of several books before he pulls out one of the larger, more advanced copies on carpentry, holding it up for mondo’s inspection. ) This one?
