For that we might need a guide.. ;; with Asami

He'd seen her hanging around here rather often for the past few days now; a fellow intellect who appreciated the peace and quiet only this library could provide, no doubt, so Lelouch naturally remembered her face. Though, the lady seemed to constantly be in quite a state of distress- and, for the lack of conversational topics and the likes, Lelouch had never quite found a chance to approach her.. Of course, it would be a lie to say he wasn't interested in the blueprints she wasn't all too bothered about hiding, but that was hardly the nicest thing to just approach her for. Not when she probably- well, hadn't quite noticed him at all, Lelouch was pretty certain.

This afternoon, though, the chance did come to him- with the dull thud of a notebook falling to the ground by her table, though it would seem the lady herself was too engrossed in her work to notice. The noise first made him look up, hands already habitually closing his book, but when he noticed that she hadn't realised, Lelouch wasted no time in standing up to pace over, and to carefully pick the fallen notebook up while glancing over at her work. So he was right- the blueprint was a detailed map of the facilities they were held captive in, and the lady had been diligently marking out possible exit points, it seems, although..

"Here, you dropped this," Lelouch commented softly by her side, though instead of handing the notebook over, he was already subconsciously pointing towards her blueprints, fingertips tracing the dried ink of careful scripts and symbols. "And in this area, the staircase leading upstairs seemed closer to the kitchen rather than where you've already marked.. And you've missed out another staircase here."

        A significant amount of time since arriving was spent on finding something less dull to do, and whereas the computers in the rec room served to occupy his attention for an hour or so, the technology was outdated by comparison of what he was used to and ultimately only concluded in furthering his agitation with this place. He was accustomed to this sort of thing, though, due to certain events where he came from making him far more tolerant. What bothered him most was not knowing just what would become of him and everyone else here. The idea that led him to seeking out a way to satiate his desire for knowledge pertaining to this place. The only sensible thing to do seemed to be to venture to the library for the time being and hope for the best.

        As expected of a library it was quiet; even if that hadn't been the case there was plenty of space, making it all too easy to avoid any other person in sight. Not that he particularly minded to that extent whether or not someone approached him, and surprisingly he had the intention of seeking someone out. With the library being so large, it would only be a pain trying to look through everything himself, especially not knowing if any of the books here contained information concerning what was going on.

         Due to the vast room being fairly empty, it didn't appear he'd have much of a choice in who he approached. Asami seemed to be the best option, as the other two sitting across the room seemed to be conversing quietly amongst themselves. He doesn't hesitate in approaching her though he is a tad apprehensive about this; not wanting to seem like a moron should she know anything but simultaneously wanting to avoid speaking with as many people as possible. This would have to do, and if she rejected helping he supposed he'd scour the library on his own as much of a pain as that sounded. 

         He flicks his wrist in a curt waving gesture before speaking; brow furrowed and frown ever-present upon his face, certainly not serving in making the gesture appear friendly in the slightest.

Reunited || Asami

    Korra is understandably still adjusting to her new surroundings, although it is obvious she prefers the outside area in comparison to the indoor facility. It's far too cramped for her tastes and while she does enjoy visiting the gym regularly, fresh air is far more appealing. After all, she spent weeks living in a swamp alongside the wondrous Toph Bei Fong, so perhaps it's not all that strange she develops a liking for resting in the tallest trees she can find.

    It's the quiet she longs for and it also gives her plenty of time to let her mind wander, but that isn't always a good thing. Korra finds herself missing her friends and her family more than ever; she curses herself for not at least making it to Republic City before she was taken here. At the very least, she wishes that she could have reunited with Asami, Mako and Bolin after three long years. A part of her hopes that they too were brought here, but she knows the chances are highly unlikely. 

    A muffled voice somewhere below the trees immediately snaps Korra out of her meditation. Normally, she's able to tune most of the strange voices out without a single problem, however this one is different than the rest— it's familiar. Incredibly so.

    "That's... That's got to be Asami!" Korra says under her breath excitedly.

    Hesitating, she can't help wondering if it's her imagination playing tricks on her. There's also the fact that she hasn't seen her best friend in over three years. What if she hates her for disappearing without a word of notice? Inhaling deeply, Korra pushes all her doubt away and in one precise leap, she lands on a lower branch. From where she kneels now, she can see Asami a few feet away, apparently talking to herself.

    "Asami!" she shouts loudly. Before her friend can properly react, Korra's running in her direction the fastest her feet can carry her. She wraps her arms around Asami in a tight hug, grinning like a happy fool the entire time. "I- I can't believe you're here. It's been so long... How are you?"
