"I'm guessing the library here is underfunded?" Mary asked. "Being way out in the sticks and all."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
"Absolutely," Sadie agreed with a nod. "The school library is nearly as big, and that's saying something... I guess I should say that it's nearly as small as the school library. What they have is good, but they've barely expanded at all in my entire lifetime it feels like. Nearly no modern fic at all."

She wrinkled her nose. "That's the worst. Good for you for working to change it!"

"Thanks!" Sadie grinned. "If you've got suggestions for things you'd like to make sure they have, feel free to let us know. I have a wallet." She patted Meyer's arm playfully and he chuckled and rolled his eyes good-naturedly.

"Definitely get some Calvino in there if you can," she suggested.

“I don’t think I’m familiar, sorry.” Sadie shook her head. “What genre is it?”

"Poetic prose. It's kind of hard to explain--Marco Polo describes cities to Khubilai Khan, but he describes them in strange ways. A city that's a maze, a city where it's torn down every few decades and moved to another place, a city that hangs suspended over a chasm."

"That sounds fascinating," Sadie said genuinely. "Calvino?"

“We’ll get some.” Sadie nodded once, deciding. “And then I’ll read it and then donate after.” She smiled.

"It's great stuff. Kinda weird at first, but don't let that stop you." Mary returned the smile.

(I just got home from the most incredible first date) (I made a 3 hour round trip to go meet her lol and then our date was 4 hours long and ahhhhh)
“Oh, I won’t,” Sadie promised.
“Weird is kind of her vibe,” Meyer commented. Sadie wrinkled her nose at him. He smirked. “Monty Python…”
“Is premier entertainment.”
