[We have a library!!!! Rita's already got a mountain of science textbooks and research papers gathered in her arms. Perhaps too many, as the tower of stacked-up books and papers wobbles precariously, and a heavy book on the top slides off... right as she's passing by Temenos.
If he's smooth, maybe he can catch it. If not, rip to this dude she hasn't even talked to before.]
[ girl you are so valid? rita has scholar written all over her.
disaster strikes near where temenos is also camped out with a large number of books, sitting at a table. and truthfully, he is not the most physical of a person, but his reflexes are decent! (🎲 sisi 🕯👁 temenos mistral rolled: 18 🎲) which is a miracle which means that when the book falls, almost reflexively, he reaches out to catch it with both hands.
it is, however, much heavier than he's expecting, and he makes a less than dignified - ] Oof. [ noise and manages not to completely drop it on his hands but does wobble with it before he brings it back up to the surface of the table. ] Ah. Careful.
his books are a variety of topics! history, science, modern technology, mythology, even a bible? and the one he has open in front of him looks like some kind of astronomy text. ]
Oh, a variety of things. [ he pats his star book though. ] At the moment, I'm trying to get a better understanding of the world around us. No better place to do it than a library - it looks like you're much on the same page?

And while she's doing it, she might as well snoop and look at what he's reading.]
