Best Weapons in the World -open-

[Deleted]

Books. The best weapons in the world were books. They contained and could change history, told cautionary tales, and brought people on adventures. One could live a thousand life times if they just read a lot. Yes, books were wonderful. An art, a past time, a capture of time... and so Kate found herself wandering around the Academia library, just perusing the vast collection. Gods, she could spend an age in here. She probably would if it weren't for training. What she could do with those hours... probably spend more time with her friends, read, and play her instruments. Camp had been very generous with off time after the war, but it eventually went back to normal. Part of her missed training, still another half of her ever wanted to fight again. Hopefully they wouldn't need to. The horizon looked peaceful... hopefully the fates had their fun for the century. The Legion could only provide so much entertainment and bloodshed before it got repetitious and the fates got bored. It was a common thing used in books: the rise and fall, the climax. In the Legion's case, that'd be the wars and the government intervention. Their intermission was being kind to them, she was still anxious that things would start up again. They always did, just when people thought it had gotten back to normal. She walked along one of the bookshelves, her fingers treading carefully along the spines. How nice it would be to survive her service and then come to this college. Perhaps volunteer or work here...

Ronan had found that he wanted to be in the legion, he was old enough though that he needed to start thinking of what it was he wanted to do with his life. Building things was what he was good at. He wanted create things, but sometimes he worried that his little heat problem could be well...problematic. He couldn't always fight. Ronan didn't want to always fight. He stood looking upwards at the university that stood before him, watching as people passed back and forth through the entrance way. Some of them were familiar faces, people who had recently, and by recently he meant within the past few years, left the legion to pursue other interests. Ronan had picked up a couple of pamphlets at the entry way about courses and degrees offered and wandered into the library. Ronan wanted to build things, he wanted to create things that lasted for ages, much like the builders of the ancient times. Turning down an aisle, he saw another legionnaire,one of the girls from second cohort. He hadn't dealt with Tessa's cohort much, but they were good at what they did. IT was what Ronan had some day aspired to make fifth into. But one of the books he was looking for was right above her head. "'scuse me." Ronan said with a slight smile as he reached up for one of the ancient books that was leather bound, containing blueprints and notes on ancient structures. "you looking for something in particular?" His russian accented voice grumbling like the sound of rocks.

Although fighting was in her blood as the offspring of two Legionaries, Kate definitely didn't want to fight forever. She'd fight when she had to, but once her service terminated, she was done. Of course, if the need did come up… she would of course answer the call, but, she just wanted a calm civilian life. She remained positive, praying that the fates were done, at least in her life time. Their camp had done enough, had paid enough. They had a record hit streak, all under four years. No… time for them to rest. For the healing to continue. After a few more moments of wandering, she found herself in the architecture part of the library. She slid a book out and opened to a random page, measurements, scalings, diagrams, and blueprints jumped out at her. A smile formed on her face. The forgers would love this. It made zero sense to her, but she was sure Redpath or Silverwood could understand it. "Of course," she said, moving to the side. Then she turned to look at the voice… familiar. Then she could have laughed. Speak of the fates, and they shall come. Standing to the side of her was none other than Ronan Redpath himself. "Hi, Ronan!" she greeted. She knew little about the towering forger, but she did know that he was Nova's brother and that he cared about her a lot. Family. Anything like that was good in her book. "No, not really. Just perusing. I was actually just thinking about how much you and Nova would appreciate this section. I can't make heads or tails of it," she said with a slight laugh. "Oh… how rude of me. Sorry, I know you, bet you're not too sure of me. My name's Kate."
