He glared at her, then turned and stalked off in the opposite direction. See how she liked figuring out praying to foreign gods on her own. It wouldn't turn out well, he knew that much.

Gaius didn't turn back; he was going back to bed to try and learn how to sleep in this new state. He could visualize it if he tried hard enough, but most signs pointed to a restless night.

Ky angrily stalked towards the stairs then started up towards the third floor for the library. The bastard was sorely mistaken if he thought she was going to grovel and beg for his all knowing omniscient bullshit help. There must be a book about sacrifices. Or perhaps she’d find Severus.

He made it upstairs and into his room, where he got back into his nightclothes and took off his leg, laying down beside his wife and children. His arm brushed Mattathias as he did so, and a dream flashed into his mind--a simple dream, not much to it other than contentment and warmth. Gaius pulled away all the same, flinching despite himself. Was he never going to be able to hold his children again? Could he kiss his wife? He wasn't sure he wanted a confirmation of what he suspected.

Ky stormed into the library and headed to the section on the gods, not even trying to hide her pissy aura. No one should be awake but the ghosts. And Septimus could bite her if he didn’t like her being pissed at Gaius. She was done with him.

There were a few ghosts wandering the library. Septimus was reading in one of the back corners, and Severus was up on the third level.

She decided to scour the books first and pulled the ones that looked most promising and started for her table, slamming them down a bit too heavily.

Septimus stirred, and two of the ghosts near by shushed her, giving her haughty glares.

She rolled her eyes and flopped down in the chair, cracking open the first book.

The only sound she was making was slightly heavy breathing, but it was subtle. Despite her attempts at defiance, she was still socially anxious and fearful of upsetting the ghosts further, so she tried to be silent.
Though she tried to hold on to the anger. She was starting to feel like an asshole, and didn’t want to deal with that. Best to keep the anger alive. Though she needed a release… somehow. She was dangerously close to angry tears.

Septimus rolled his eyes and went back to his book.

Ky skimmed through one book then realized the other two she’d grabbed were in Nortung and huffed a sigh, then got up to return them all.

Septimus made no comment and remained immersed in his book.
