Amelia sneezed, sending clouds of dust into the air. They had been searching in the library for over three hours, 'they' being herself, Lina, Zelgadis, Vrumegan, Sangulous, Xeros, Firia, Valtierra, and somebody who had shown up on the doorstep this morning claiming to be Zel's brother. And he was Zel's brother, and had the name of Elkin.
Amelia thought Elkin was straight-out weird. He not only had red-brown hair and blue eyes, he also had horns and a tail that ended in a little puff of blue feathers. That had gotten him a few odd looks from both Firia and Xeros, but both hadn't said anything.
Elkin was currently digging through a large box, his tail waving about in the air like a curious cat's tail. Xeros was floating along the top bookshelves, idly flipping through a black-bound book he had found. Firia was eyeing Xeros warily, her hand on her mace, for he was floating awfully close to her head.
Zel and Lina were sitting side-by-side on a bench, slowly going through a huge stack of books. Amelia blinked, not quite sure if she had seen that. For a moment there, it had looked if Lina was about to kiss Zel. Amelia shook her head, sure she had just been seeing things. If those two had been interested in each other, surely it would have shown up before now ... wouldn't it have?
"This is ... boring." Lance stated quietly, idly looking through the books on the shelves and finding all of them illegible to him, written in a language he couldn't understand. Hunk looked up from the poker game he had going with Pidge, Arvis, and Janfyld. They looked up as well, curious.
"What's boring, Lance?" Pidge asked, using a finger to push his glasses back into position.
"All of this, the waiting ... there's nothing to do!"
"Well, you could sit down and join the card game."
"What's the stakes?"
"Ummm ... so far, three sticks of peppermint, a gold button, three books of matches, and a dried flower."
"Might as well. I'll add this green and silver marble I found to the pot."
Time passed, dinner was consumed and forgotten, someone threw away Nahga's clothes and causing a major fight, then everyone went to bed. And this was the basic way time passed over the next three days.
