Sunlight filtering through the windows of the library awakened the man slumped over a large book on one of the tables. Slowly opening his ice-colored eyes only to shield them from the onslaught of light brought by the dawn, the pale, blonde man groaned sleepily and shifted in his chair. After a moment, his eyes adjusted, allowing him to see properly, and he lifted his head, yawning loudly as he stretched. Looking around, he found that his glasses had fallen from his face and were now resting just over the side of the book his face had not just been plastered to. He picked them up gently and examined them, luckily finding no scratches or cracks. [i]I must have fallen asleep while reading...[/i] True, he had stayed up quite late researching a new lead for one of his theories, but he had no idea he had been so tired as to fall asleep in the middle of it. Although, this wasn't exactly a new thing for him; he had done this several times while pursuing a topic, often staying up all night until he could find an answer to a question or proof for his theories. And often times, he would wake up in the exact same position: With a large book under his head and a slight ache in his back from sleeping in a chair instead of lying down like a normal person. Or at least, he assumed that was how normal people slept. The cat ears on top of his head twitched as he thought this over. [i]When was the last time I was out of this library?[/i] Standing up to fully stretch out the kink in his back, he decided that today might be a good day to venture outside. Whether he had been out recently or not, his stomach was reminding him how necessary food was again, and he needed to restock. If he went now, he could come back sooner to open the library and possibly return to his research. So, after placing the glasses back on his face and marking his place in the book, the man readied himself to go out. As he walked out into the sunlight, he found himself needing to take a moment to readjust his eyes to the change in light. Just how long had he been in the library? He would have to take some time in the evening to enjoy the summer weather... Speaking of which, wasn't it a bit cold for summer?
