fifth time time tread upon
Aria grumbles, shooing away a pair of pesky 9-year-old kids who seemed to take great pleasure in making faces at her as she picked up her glasses from the snow. They had slipped off a few moments back when they bothered her with the usual nonsense that went along the lines of "Let us borrow game of thrones, Ria! We wanna read about the fighting!" as she argued back that it was much more, and was reserved for a much older audience.
One of the brats stepped on the glasses as she chased them off.
They stuck out their tongues for loud raspberries as their parents approached to scold them and apologize. She simply shook her head, giving a quick bow as she walks off muttering how she was used to it.
She then heads for the usual clearing in the forest by the park, keeping an eye out for any birds who may have stuck around despite the cold. It was far too early for the owls to be out, so there was nothing but a pure, profound silence as she sifted through her bag to pull out a book she borrowed after he previous shift at the library.
A forbidden love story between a human and a Dullahan. Things definitely got stranger the deeper she dug into the dusty old fiction books!
She leafs through pages, eyes darting through the different illustrations swiftly as she admired the art and analyzed, a free hand pulling out a box of little printed bandages so she could tape together the sides of her glasses so she could read properly once more.
