Dust filled the air, the smell of old books, ink and paper hanging around her bringing on a sense of familiar comfort. Scattered across the floor and strategically placed upon her desk and bed lay the woman’s personal collection of books and equipment, removed from the shelves she stored them upon so that she could go about cleaning the shelves and then when she got to placing them back to treat the books, making sure that they were in as best condition that she could keep them on. For knowledge was power, not the psychical kind that one spontaneous fist fights, but knowledge gave her control, helped develop her mind and aid her in her thoughts and more complex situations if ever she was to fall within one; if only the rest of the fools could see the benefits of books and information like she, then maybe they'd be less tiresome to deal with.
Cautiously she edged around on of the more unbalanced piles in her room, ocean eyes cast down upon it as she manoeuvred to a more spacious area on the ground, making her way slowly over to the next shelf to be cleaned. Placing a leg on either side of a pile she leant forward, one hand braced upon the rough wall to the side of the shelving unit while she cleaned with the other. Completely absorbed in the task at hand she reacted slowly to the screech echoing through the tunnels. Pushing off the way she gently placed down her cleaning equipment upon the shelf before hoping her way through the maze of piles and exiting her small cave, walking through the tunnels until she located the source of the screech; the young girl, the medic's kid. At the scene of such obvious parental love a soft smile spread across her lips, golden hand placed lightly upon her hip, unwilling to intrude upon what was clearly a family moment.
