Kivin Library Chronicles - Honorary Assistant Librarians

Libby's dismissive tone was rather surprising to Vin, as well. Their head tilted, with ears and headwings flopped to the side.  Maybe she was just in a hurry to retrieve the books,  but maybe she also didn't recognize Kiv?  Vin's sibling did lose a pair of eyes, and overall look quite a bit more sleek and sparkly. 

The pup had to admit, they were a little jealous of their siblings recent changes, but didn't let it get to them right that second.  The Library must be defended!  Vin nodded enthusiastically at their brother, feeding into the excited portion of Kiv's split mental state. "And we'll do a great job, won't we?" Vin replied, and gave him a reassuring head nudge.

"First, we have to look like her." The pup declared, before setting off.  They beckoned Kiv to grab a chair or two, and dragged their own stack of pillows behind Libby's desk.  Then, Vin stacked them on top each other and climbed on top, so that more than just their headwings could be seen from the other side.

Once height was addressed, Vin looked to their evolved brother with a small smirk before continuing their transformation.  They sat tall on the stack of pillows,  chest puffed and wings faintly spread to make themself look bigger (which Vin succeeded in) and more intimidating (which they did not.).  Then, their smirk curved into a scowl & their wide pink eyes squinted, trying to mimic Libby's permanently suspicious visage. 

"...Think I got it?" Vin asked as they looked over at Kiv.  At first they tried not to laugh at how ridiculous they felt, but cracked and laughed a little at Kiv's attempt.  But once he was up straight and at attention, Vin composed themself,  taking a moment to admire their brother's new form.  "Looking quite handsome, Kiv." Vin commented with a smile, before scowling back to attention and scanning the library.  "Now we play the part.  We can't let a single soul take a single book out of here without checking out first."
