4|| Let's Fix This

The morning of the next day found Elizabeth running about the school library like a madwoman while Silver and Jumbe followed her around.

"Why are we here again when you should be out in the courtyard making friends?" Silver questioned, watching sleepily as Elizabeth browsed through the titles.

"To finish what we started yesterday," Elizabeth answered confidently, her pointer finger trailing the covers of the books as she read them. Jumbe helped out by looking through the titles in the highest rows of the bookshelf that Elizabeth would struggle doing on her own. Silver was supposed to look at the lowest rows so Elizabeth wouldn't have to bend down. This way, they could move through the shelves efficiently until they found what they wanted. Elizabeth stopped for a moment to look down at Silver. "Just because I'm staying in Paris and doing other things like school and patrols doesn't mean that I can forget my original objective," she explained, returning to searching when Jumbe noticed and complained, "helping kwami's will always be my top priority, no matter what."

Warmth flooded Silver's body as she gazed up at her holder. Her blue-on-blue eyes watched as Elizabeth happily skimmed through the covers, not minding one bit that she was spending time that she could use for her own purposes, like bonding with people her own age, for the betterment of others.

She truly was one of a kind.

"Silver!" Jumbe scolded, causing her to blink and look up. His orange eyes glared down at her in annoyance. "Stop zoning out and get back to searching! We only have until the bell rings, you know!"

"Sorry," she called up to him. He rolled his eyes and went back to his task, grumbling incoherently to himself. Silver shook her head, but got back on track.

Five minutes later, Elizabeth found something that fit what they were looking for. "How does the title, 'A Detailed History Of Southern Asia' sound to you guys?" she asked, pulling out the book and waving it around a little.

"It sounds worth a try," Jumbe admitted, glancing down to look at the book cover, "just check the table of contents to make sure India's in there."

Elizabeth nodded, flipping the book open. A moment later, she declared, "It does! I guess we're in luck today, huh?"

"Don't jinx it," Silver warned her. Elizabeth saluted her jokingly and placed the book on a nearby table that was already occupied with her messenger bag. The young girl then quickly walked over to the railing and looked down at the floor below, checking to make sure that the librarian was still down there, which she was.

When she came back to her kwami's she noticed that Jumbe had pulled out a book. "This one probably has some information as well," he told her, flying down and giving it to her. The title read 'The Intriguing Past Of India'.

"It definitely sounds more promising than the one I had found," she remarked, adding it to the pile.

"I think two books is a good start for history," Silver piped up before the two could go back to searching. "We should go check out the myth and lore section too. That's also bound to be helpful to us."

Jumbe and Elizabeth agreed with her suggestion, and so Elizabeth picked up her things from the table and they began the hunt for their next section. To the relief of all three, it didn't take them very long. The myth and lore section was also on the second floor, though much, much closer to the railing.

"You'll both have to be careful," Elizabeth whispered, eyeing the librarian below, "I don't want you to be seen."

"We'll just stick with you this time," Silver replied, speaking for both of them. Jumbe flew up and once again claimed the spot next to Elizabeth's neck. Silver decided to float in front of the girl so that Elizabeth's body blocked her from view.
