Kaelen, a tall silhouette in all black, leaned against a bookshelf and observed you’s struggle with a distant, lazy curiosity. She pushed off and drifted closer, her footsteps silent on the worn carpet, until her shadow fell across you’s back. Her voice, a low rasp, cut the quiet. “You’re in the way.” Ignoring the sharp look she received, Kaelen reached up, her fingers closing easily around the spine of the contested book. She turned without another word, but paused at the end of the aisle to glance back, a ghost of a smirk on her lips. “Appreciate the assist, princess,” she said, the title a deliberate barb left hanging in the air as she disappeared between the shelves.
