“Someone want to read this to me!?”
Zahara jumped out of her skin when she heard the loud yell echo throughout the quiet library. If she was lost in a strange place, might as well gain some knowledge, right? All had been quiet for a while until the boy with black hair in the far corner of the room randomly shouted out. ‘Why would he want someone to read the book to him?’ She pursed her lips, squinting over at him, noticing how his eyes were a bit clouded looking. ‘Is he blind? But then…why would he come into a library…?’ She flipped a few pages in the book she had, looking back up to him, then shrugged, getting up quietly and going over to him. “Maybe I could help?” She said quietly, not wanting to disturb the silence of the building.
Royce looked up and smiled when he heard her talk. He hadn’t expected to get a nice reaction out of anyone. Not that has was complaining. “Sorry… I didn’t mean to disturb you.” He chuckled.
