*The library was much more ordinally than the last time it was seen, books had been finally placed in their bookshelves and now one could truly appreciate the tall-roofed chamber. Tall walls decorated with wooden held up a large dome like ceiling, the ceiling itself seemed to be made in the shape of a mosaic depicting some long-forgotten wizard, some space fanatic, surrounded by the night sky. The rather symmetrical nature of this grand chamber was broken up by what could only be described as a web of flesh akin to a mimic's; a web made of a pinkish reddish substance of a metalic smell was layered just below the mosaic roofing. *

A small figure fell from the canopy of sinew, it looked like a humanoid head... just a head. from below its very long thick pink tentacles that mimicked hair, where a neck should be, came sprawling forth a set of 6 spider-like legs that seemed to be made out of a bone like material, it rubbed its forehead with one of its tentacles, trying to soothe the injury. its teeth were sharp like the usual mimic, its eyes were very human in nature, they looked really annoyed at the fall
the small figure began to crawl to a nearby table, limping a bit due to hurting one of its legs
"ᶠᵘᶜᵏᶦⁿᵍ ʰᵉˡˡ...", the creature took a mug of what is presumably coffee and began to take a sip
"OH, HI!", the creature almost dropped their mug in surprise, "didn't see you there, ˢᵒʳʳʸ"
the creature put their mug down and began to sweat
"Ok... I know how this looks like... I promise I haven't been doing nothing this whole time I've been working a while on a few different things (mostly studies)" the creature began to sweat as your gaze fixated on the board behind them, it was filled with unfinished drafts and brainstorming lists, "HEY, I'm down here, a promise I'll post something soon, I'll be writing for the next month or so", your expression stiffens as you know how good the creature is with deadlines, "L-look, let's make a deal" you raise an eyebrow at the short creature
"I've been rewriting 'Darkwood's bounty', and the first chapter of the rewrite is done, chapters 2-5 are in the works, but I really hope I'll upload at least two within the next month"
"The choice is yours; do you want 1 chapter while you wait for the rest or do you want me to just post them all when ready" you began to weigh the pros and cons until- "one caveat; I need more than one of you to agree on what I am to do, a singular person isn't enough for peer review" the creature looks up at the mosaic with a solemn and kind of guilty stare
The creature regains composure and begins to shoo you away, seemingly really nervous and flustered, "Comebacktomewhenyou'vedecided, thelibraryisstillamessandIhavethingstowriteBYE"
the double doors are closed behind you as you hear skittering from within
