It's another day at the library, work's never over, more books shoved onto shelves, checked out, sorted, the whole nine yards, and it's slowly coming up on lunch hour, the hour of which people adore, and certainly people in the library enjoyed it immensely.

Usual crowds, checking in books, checking out books, requesting books to different branches, every which way the wind blows, lunch can't come soon enough, and there's already plans made for making a trip to a place outside the library for lunch.

With a lull in business, it gave Bill and Lila time to talk to each other as they manned the counter for their floor, people mingling around the aisles adjacent to them, some sitting at the library computers, or others at the tables with stacks of books in front of them as they quietly read to themselves.

There's excitement coming from Bill and Lila's trying to keep her calm, but Bill's eagerly excited for something she's been set on.

"Bill, calm down, you're turning into a kid who got into the candy cauldron after midnight!" Lila calmed Bill as she's excited about a chocolate focused restaurant, whatever they call those places, opening down the road from the library, complete with a promotion that the first hundred or so customers there before the opening gets a year's worth of free meals, which Bill obtained from determination and sacrificing a chance of putting mousse in her frizzled hair.

It was a worthy sacrifice for free chocolate inspired dishes, that Bill planned on going after work, on her mind what she wanted for her free item of the day.

Pouting, Bill's glossy lips glistened under the soft light as she said, "Hey, it's a free treat every day for a year, how can I not be?"

Touché.

"Yeah, but don't forget the golden rule. You eat there every day you're going to get sick of chocolate, eventually," Lila warned that if Bill isn't careful, her favorite treat in the whole world's going to be something she avoids out of grown disdain due to eating too much of it.

Gasping with her manicured nails shimmering under the light on her chest, Bill exclaimed, "Lila Ann Watson, I'd never!"

If there's one thing about Bill that needed saying, she loves chocolate, and if anyone told her differently, she'd accuse them of blasphemy.

Giggling, Lila mused that when Bill's girlfriend comes down, at least she has a date spot on tap, if Bill shares her spoils with her love.

Eying her disapprovingly, Bill swears that she shares, leading to a yawn as Theodore, wearing an outfit only 80's Don Johnson would approve, wandered over with the empty cart after he returned books to their proper places, overhearing what they're talking about, commenting, "She did almost bite my hand off when I asked for a piece of Lindt!"

Shooting dagger eyes with her dark eyes, Bill swears that she shares her treats with people in the library.

Snorting, Theodore pointed out that when he tried to take a Lindt chocolate from her, she nearly bit his head off!

"You go through twenty before you're finally done!" Bill retorted that Theodore's prone to overeating, that giving him one Lindt results in him eating twenty!

Theodore tried to defend himself, but Lila, in her infinite wisdom, pointed out how she's barely able to get something simple as a cup of coffee without him taking the whole pot for himself.

"If you spent any time in his meetings, you'd want the whole pot, too!" Theodore defended himself against the allegations of taking whole pots of coffee for nefarious caffeine reasons, that it was his brother's fault for causing it.
