"I got some workout done as a library assistant. They put me in the reference section since I already knew where eveyrhting was."

"And you've never torn a muscle before?"

"A few times. Once while fencing with one of my sisters, once because I was dealing with some horses, and once from carrying tooo many books."

"Hmm." She must have a habit of saying that. She was studying her nails at the moment. "When do you think the police will find you?"

"Depends. Probably les then a week or two." He didn't add that his glasses had a smaller tracker attached after the last time he'd "disappeared" (he'd actually just been in the library way too long but Nicote had still gone nuts and made him let him attach the tiny thing)

"So. I have less than a week to change you into someone else. I can work with that."

"I'm good where I am, thanks. Been there done that almost blew up the restaurant kitchen...twice."

"Have you ever tried dying your hair?" she asked

"Yes. That's why I almost exploded the kitchen the first time."

"How did you manage that?"
