Barrett sat in the side room library, feet propped up on the return cart and his nose buried in a book. He wasn’t entirely sure what book this was, it had information on some age old music-oriented celebrity with perfect teeth, but he wasn’t really paying much attention to the substance of the book. He primarily had the book open to appear busy- quite a few people had bothered him today already, and a book was a pretty good excuse for ignoring any other prodding passerbys.
The silence was nice for a while, but he found himself staring at the same word for long amounts of time. To prevent himself from falling asleep, Barrett stood and pushed the cart around, putting books back in their places.
He sighed audibly in response to the voice coming from the entrance. “Yes, go left.”

It was hard not to feel relieved when she heard a response. Wandering around in this heat was bad enough without worrying that she might not find a map anywhere. This was a school, surely it would have a map, right? Didn’t all schools have libraries and information?
Following his directions, the brunette came upon the library and she paused for a moment, glancing around curiously, before she stepped inside. It took her a moment, but once she spotted Barrett, she strode towards him and let out a sigh of relief. “I’m sorry to bother you.. I’m kind of lost… Do you happen to have maps around here anywhere?”
