Damsel in the library’s distress // @vchyunjae
It had been hard being cooped up in the underground through out the winter rolling through the city.
“It’d be best for you, especially now to just stay out of sight,” is what they’d told her. She fought it, much too restless in her temporary home but she listened to them as her father had told her to, in short becoming more of a live in babysitter for the time being.
They’d finally been blessed with some warmer whether, and with the carnage and chaos of the past week or so coming to close, she found herself wanting to break out of the initial harem of being stir crazy.
She adorned herself in a cropped sweater that she’d come to knit, sliding a pair overalls over it. It still clouded her senses to slip into those Burks but the glasses she was given at her arrival were able to help her through the snuffing out of how she got around.
The leopard cub rolled at her feet, wanting her to stay and tend to it, forcing the demi-god to roll her eyes, “you have to come with me, so calm down.” Molan said cooing at her, it licked at her skin, and stood to her feet as she grabbed her bag, making her way from the makeshift room that had still been called her new home.
Molan had come to memorize the streets closest to her, sure she hadn't had much time to explore, and todays errands consisted of the market for fresh ingredients and the book store that sat just on the corner. The patrons and workers had come to know her by name and she spent countless hours merely browsing usually only leaving with one or two novels.
But todays pick sat much too high for her mere one-hundred and sixty centimeters, bralettes and anklet beads rattling about as she attempted to stand on her toes grasping for the spine of the book though just missing it by the graze of her delicate fingertips.
