Eela entered the library a bit more hastily than she would have liked. The Librarian, too, seemed somewhat more upset than usual at the outburst. Eela gave a frown of apology and a little nod-- sorry, she would not do it again. With a hand over her lips, Eela more at a more controlled pace into the stacks. The library was always relaxing. The scent of worn papyrill sheets and wood was welcoming and wholly neutral to the world around it. The books held their own stories, why bother with the troubles of other bloblings? The only sounds were whispers and murmurings and the flutter of turned pages. There might be the scribble of a quill against paper, the sounds of creation, but it was a quiet place to fill or empty one's head.
The lavender blobling turned a corner toward a familiar table and stopped. Who was that strange, slender blob? Eela didn't think she'd ever seen him before, but then there must be thousands of blobs she had never seen. Something seemed to beckon her toward him, though. Was it the casual way he floated? His stylish starglasses? Whatever it was, Eela was drawn toward his station and found hat she was inviting herself into his presence, which wasn't a very Eela thing to do. Well, this had already been a strange sort of day
"I think I've made a fool of myself," Eela said. This was even an uncharacteristic number of words! "I brought some Themisfish to the Marble City. A blobling named Reinala lives there. She may be a Godborn. She's so beautiful. Really, truly." Eela put her hands over her face and tilted her head down. "I think I may have even evolved to be like her. I didn't think it specifically! I don't think I did." Eela let her hands fall. She peered up to her companion, who indeed seemed interested. He nodded reassuringly. "I don't want her to dislike me. I probably looked so silly. I worry." Another nod from her green companion. "I don't know why I'm telling you all this." The green, scaly blob smiled. Eela blinked and looked down at her own hands. Her gaze returned to the stranger after a moment. "Thank you for listening." She did feel a little better now.
