[ nerd. he is not at all surprised to see her here, but he is a little caught off-guard by being blasted with both anxiety and anger. it means that libby gets a jolt of surprise that kind of shutters away as he waves back slowly. ]
You know, I'm not sure? Libraries and I aren't exactly close friends. [ stupid. ] But I thought maybe since it's here it might have some kind of answers for what's going on here. Or at least history about past games.
[ a glance at the books in her arms though. ]

--first of all, yes, that is literally all the time though. But considering that's probably not what you mean...yeah, a little. Like...last week, okay, it took a long time to figure out anything was going on but this is a little more immediate. Like they're not...
[ "like they're not mine" is what he means, but he thinks it sounds crazy instead. ]
[ libby. libby no. the minute he feels the alarm and concern he forces himself to calm down further. it's not going to help if they're both confused and a little freaked out, after all. ]
Like whatever I'm picking up on isn't mine. If that makes sense.

[there's a sense of alarm and growing dread as she realizes what he means.]
But they can't just - they can't do that.
