[closed to lahabrea] burning the midnight oil;

[titanscience]

[It is late into the night, perhaps even the early hours of morning when Hange can still be found in one of the libraries connected to the research center, energetically scouring the shelves for tomes of interest.]

[This world and its 'magic' has created far too many possibilities! Conjuring up fire? Resurrecting the dead?? But the thing about magic is that people rarely go into detail about how it works, which is what led Hange to here.]

[On tiptoes and head sideways as they attempt to read the spines of various books, one eventually catches Hange's interest and so they reach up for it, though instead of fingers wrapping around the book's cover they are instead met with warmth as the end up grabbing the hand of someone else who was also reaching for the same book. Oops!]

Ah, sorry! I didn't know anybody else was still here.

[Still going to reach for that book though..]

[A sleepy yawn escapes Lahabrea as he reaches for the book. He’s been scouring the library for hours searching for anything referencing the previous seasonal power holders prior to the Tragedy of Greed. It’s been a source of intrigue for him, especially after speaking briefly with others more knowledgeable about that incident. While it’s not uncommon for him to burn the midnight oil researching his passions, Lahabrea just couldn’t shake off the theory that Kamisato shared with him during their brief conversation over the network. It’s a theory he’s very interested in, one that might be worth looking into as a new powerholder himself.

He was just about to reach for another book until he accidentally feels something warm instead of the cold leathery spine of the tome in question. Lahabrea glances toward his left to find a curious individual with dark brown hair wearing a pair of spectacles reaching for the same book as him. He blinks his eyes in muted alarm, his carmine gaze filled with skepticism.

Just why didn’t he notice them until now? Was he truly that engrossed in his literature that he didn’t hear them? Lahabrea lets out a sigh as he pinches the bridge of his nose. He must be losing his touch or something.]

Nor did I. [He answers with a bit of a huff.] Then again, I suppose I should get used to expecting the unexpected.

[titanscience]

Hah! That's the nature of this world isn't it? Sometimes you cannot even expect the unexpected, because it's so unexpected you hadn't even thought of the possibility.

[Hange retrieves the book from its shelf, though rather than simply turn away they glance at the title curiously, reading it out loud before turning their attentions back to the rather tall fellow beside them.]

Are you also researching the history and origins of the 'magics' in this world? This particular volume seemed like it could give some viable clues..
