“So you understand my conundrum, then.” He responded with a small, rare smile as he adjusted his hold on the books to avoid an accidental topple of the small tower.
At her apology, he shook his head a little in place of waving it off. “It’s fine. There was no harm done. I tend to get a bit distracted when I’m caught up in research.” She wasn’t used to running into others around here? Hm… That was a sad thought, but not surprising. Places like this were the haunt for particular kinds of people, and even if there might be a few in this world… It was easy to miss people in a library this large. “I see… I would hope people would utilize a place like this frequently, it’s conveniently place on top of the impressive selection.” Which was to say, she could probably expect to see him around frequently between the immense selection and not having arrived with any of his own books.
Interesting was certainly a word for it and complicated another. “The library is one of its better points, certainly. Especially if you’re looking for books on various kinds of magic. Though I believe the people who work there would be somewhat jealous of this place if they saw it.” It was slightly more than a clock tower, but at least Mitsuru would not be disappointed to find the main academic building actually was a small clock tower that resembled the city’s more famous Big Ben.
Now that it had been pointed out, he couldn’t really deny the pile he had was excessive. As was the collection he’d already gone through back at the table... “You do make a good point, but I figured it would save me the trip going back to grab the others as references to the main books.” He added with a slight awkward almost shrug. “Your looking into mirrors, though, I see. Is that concerning the mirror situation I heard happened just before my arrival?” He had covered the one in his apartment with a sheet. Hadn’t liked what he saw.
He started walking, if only because his arms were getting tired given he wasn’t particularly strong as people went. Waver was going to need to put them down in his space before he dropped them. “And I would agree, there is comfort to be found in knowledge for a few reasons.” That was part of why he was there now. The temptation of new or lost knowledge, and the comfort of something familiar that he was good at, instead of driving himself mad over the events he’d been pulled out of.
