Summary: Reno is doing some research on the network. WHY IS HE ALWAYS DOING RESEARCH LATELY.

Ow! Reno ground his teeth and rubbed his arm, being careful of the bandages. Moving it still hurt after that little incident that shall not be named. He had been through a lot worse, though; this wasn't too bad as far as 'injuries sustained in the line of duty' went. It was certainly the reason why he was taking it easy today in the Floor 3 Library rather than off kicking monster butt.

Today, his research on finding a way home was taking a backseat. Scuttlebutt had it that there were some interesting things going around recently and he scrolling through all of the posts he had missed during the incident that shall not be named. One rather strange habit Reno had picked up turning his internment at the tower was that of making hideous faces while reading the posts. Eye scrunching, lip biting, you name it- he was doing it.

So far, he wasn't getting too much on any details, but that wasn't going to stop him.

"Don't try it. Just do it." Though he sounded a lot more sure of that than he should be. "It's your head, right? You're the one that should be callin' the shots."

Well that sounded exactly like something Nezumi would say, don't try just do it. Stop making things difficult for himself. "I'm not sure... that's how it works..." But he had stopped shaking and was breathing easier so perhaps it really was.

He concentrated fully on Reno and nodded.

"Are you kidding me? Of course it is. Hell, even I got some discipline." Hearing Reno say that, a few people back home might have disagreed with him. "Now, don't you have a job to do? You're a librarian, right?" He turned Shion around and pointed him at the stacks.

"Go do it. Focus on what you're doin'. It'll be good practice. Otherwise you're not gonna go far with any kind of training."

Shion blinked, but nodded. After all Reno knew much more than him and was probably right and he did have a job to do. "Okay..." He managed a smile and went back to work, picking up a stack of books to go put back on the shelves. "Thank you..." He called back over his shoulder.

Shaking his head, Reno returned to his efforts with the network, leaving Shion to his own devices.
