WORKAHOLIC STARTERS / @silentaura / ACCEPTING !
if i stop now, it'll be like giving up.
LINK SUPPRESSED THE SIGH that built up in his chest . he parsed it into thinner , smaller breaths , and simply looked out at the chaos around them . the arcanus archives had begun to reallocate books and scrolls in the stacks . that was all well and good . . . except that the influx of tomes , books and scrolls from other worlds hardly ever stopped , and with materials arriving and departing the premises — adjusting the categories and shifting through the stacks was an uphill battle . or so he had come to understand .
IT COULD BE DONE . but it was an impressive task to undertake . it had required shelving what had been done and separating from them what yet must be done . that part , he had been regaled , was manageable . organizing the current overflow had led to the bedlam zelda now waded in . for zelda had promised to consolidate the overflow to make room for more . five carts bursting at the seems , and its contents separated into ten distinct categories . all before her shift ended for the day .
LINK HAD CALLED UPON her with the intent of treating her to lunch . now , he looked at the clock overhead boasting an hour left to her shift , and she no closer to taking her break .
STEPPING CAREFULLY AROUND zelda's twin book carts , link moved to collect the books she held into his arms , then deposited her work into its respective place on her second cart .
❝ which of these just need to be ordered by category ? ❞ he asked , already doing rough estimates of time in his head . zelda's shift would end regardless of the headway made to her self - imposed project . lunch , link wagered , would be better spent without having to nurse a considerable blow to zelda's pride . ❝ i can do that , if you want to organize by alphabet . ❞
