WHAT IS LOVE etc etc

Characters: Lambda-11 and OPEN, followed by Lambda-11 and Akiha Tohno
Date: Sunday, September 9th
Summary: Lambda reads some books and asks some questions.
Warnings: Should be nothing. Will update as needed.


Love was proving to be a very complicated topic. Things Subaru said conflicted with things Urd said. Things Urd said contradicted with what Akiha had mentioned before. And, having no real frame of reference of her own, it was hard for Lambda to determine what information was the most correct.

Obviously, then, the best course of action would be to give herself a frame of reference. Under normal circumstances, she spent very little time in the library, but reading the literature located there seemed like a good way to do this. So, that was where she chose to spend her afternoon, barefoot and clad in her standard leotard as she paged through book after book.

Most of them were proving less helpful than she had hoped. After finding herself unable to parse the pertinent information from one, she would set it aside and pick up another, her demeanor growing a little more frustrated each time. She seemed oblivious to the way her brow had begun to furrow.



So, when the library proved not to be very much help after all, she returned home to the Tohno Mansion. It was evening by the time she did so, and once inside she decided to stop by Akiha's room on what was almost but not quite a whim. She trusted Akiha more than anyone else in the Gardens, so if she was confused about something, it seemed right to make her the one she asked.

She hesitated outside her door longer than was typical, seized by an uncharacteristic feeling of uncertainty. Then, she lifted a hand and knocked.

"They told me what it feels like when you're in love. Where you feel really happy just to be with that person, and you want them to be happy no matter what, and you think they're one of the greatest people ever. They make you feel special."

It hadn't been terribly clear to Chihiro either, at the time. But, Fionna's words had been a start, and something to mull over.

"You could read a play. A lot of them are about love."

"Yeah. I read some of them. They were all a little strange. But, they were all about love." And here Chihiro makes a Face. "Love is pretty strange anyway.

Um...'Romeo and Juliet'." Chihiro slowly ticks off each one on her finger as she laboriously recalls the titles. "And...'I Want to Be Your Canary'. And...'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.

But it looks like someone's written in some of them."

"Yeah. Written in it. Like you'd write in a school book, if you want to underline something to look at it again later. Or cross something out. Or make little notes to yourself if it was really hard to understand."

It seems rude to do that to a library book especially, but even Chihiro kows that it's something people do.
