Spoke too soon.

Jii found herself at the library steps for what seemed like the fourth time this morning, a ponderous expression on her face. No matter how hard she tried she simply couldn't seem to grasp the layout of this new place, and sincerely doubted she would be able to of her own accord. Deciding the best option was likely to find somebody inside who would help her in this regard, she took a deep breath and finally tiptoed up to the door.

Once inside, she was in awe of the size of this place, and the sheer volume of books all around. Her mouth agape, she started running through the different shelves just to try and take it all in, before finally remembering why she had come in here. Obviously not well-versed in library etiquette, she abruptly and in a most decidedly outside voice called out a hopeful "Heya! Can anybody help me find my way around!?" Getting a few scowls right away, she grimaced and decided to not say anything else, and began lightly padding around the various areas in search of a helper.

Jii had continued to get nasty glares from everybody, and was becoming increasingly flustered as she walked through the library. She was about ready to give up on asking for help here when she set her eyes on a student who was sat apart from everybody, an old looking tome in his hands. She padded over to him as quietly as she could, and gave a gentle tap on his arm. "Umm, excuse me, but I was wondering if you could maybe help me out in navigating this place? I'm really lost..."

Though he was clearly trying to be as polite as possible, Jii could sense that this stranger was a bit annoyed at her, presumably on her intrusion on his reading time. "O-oh, um, sorry for interrupting...I was just sort of hoping you'd be able to show me to the cafeteria? I think lunch already started." She looked down at her feet after every few words, an expression of obvious embarrassment on her face. "I'm kind of awful at remembering directions and stuff."

She rubbed the back of her neck, clearly flustered. "Umm, well, I've been looking for about twenty-five minutes. My math teacher suggested a leave a bit early in case I got lost, but...here I am." She still was consistently looking down at her feet, both due to anxiety as well as the library's carpeting feeling quite odd on the her bare soles. "I'd really appreciate the escort, if it really wouldn't be too much trouble. Oh, um, I'm Jii, by the way."

Jii's face went slightly pale when Marcus gestured to the building directly outside of the library. She lightly smacked her forehead with a palm, shaking her head in disbelief. "I knew I was bad at finding my way around but now I just feel plain stupid. I guess we should hurry though, if we want to actually have time to eat." Going through the cafeteria door, her eyes widened at the sheer volume of people in there. Ears flattening a bit at the noise, she looked back to Marcus and gave a small smile. "Well, thanks for showing me here, I really appreciate it. I can get out of your hair now, but um...if you want to, we could eat together?"
