After the meal at the tavern, Jim decided to explore the town by himself a little. It would be much easier to hide if a bunch of Marines went this way, and he didn't want anyone to babysit him..
Slowly he opened the door to the libary and peeked inside, and his eyes widened by the look. From the outside it didn't looked so special, but the inside was even bigger than his fathers libary... Jim shivered by the thought of his parents, and stepped inside. The bandage Ed put over Jim's wound was covered with blood, so maybe there was someone here that could help him.
"Hello?.." Jim called out and glanced around suspiciously.
"Is there someone here?"

Fruther dwon a logn corridor, low mutterigns coudl eb ehard, follwoed by books being thrown over the whole entrance, only that the books never touched either floor or wall, and insetad started to float around in mid-air.
"No, no, no, NO!" Loki kept mutetring to hismelf, before moing the ladder over to next shelf and repeat the smae action, sneding more books up in the air.

Jim raised an eyebrow and glanced around to see if there was someone else near him before he went over to the directon the voice came from.
"Hello?!" He said once again and flinched a little when he saw all the books in the air.
"Hey, you..!? Can you help me?"

Loki yellped out in surprise, causign all the books to slam down on the floor and had to grabb the ladder to not fall down himself. Turnign his ehad, he glared down at whoever it was who ahd interupted him in his search. "By Messaline, you trying egt me killed you-" he calem ddown afetr studying the teen quickly. "...you're not from Zion,2 he said bluntly and climbed down until he stodd infront of Jim, inwardly cursing his small size when he saw he was shorter than him. "That depends on with who you are, and with what."

Jim flinched once again by the slam from all the books that hit the floor, but soon he had a blank face and straightened his back so that he looked even taller.
"My name is Jim, and I need help with this." He said and gestured towards his bloody arm.
"Can you help me?" Jim asked politely. It was no idea to threaten him, and since no one knows who they are - Jim and the rest could just pretend to be someone they aren't..

Loki's exrpession stayed compeltley blank, and just stared at other teen for anouther moment. He knew everyone in this village, so it was not had to figure out this Jim was oen fo their 'visitours'. Question is, which one of them? He looked way to ncie to be with the pirates, but looks could be deciving. He knew that from experience.
"Don't know if you hand't notice, but this is a library," he said dryly, but nontheless, gently dragged him towards one of the many chouches to sit down in.

"..I'm not stupid.." Jim frowned, but followed Loki without hesitations.
"It's just that this village lookes like a ghost town, so I couldn't find anyone to help me.. I guess we scared them all away with the crash.." Jim shrugged slightly and held his hand over the wound when another sudden rush of pain went through him.

"Well of course they're scared," Loki rolled his eyes, takign a seat beside him and examined the wound. "We haven't had any conctact with other planets for several hundred tears," he said amtter fo factly.
Ouch, that's rather deep, he thougth to himself while starting to clean it, carefully wrapping new bandage around the wound. "I'm no medic, but that should do the trick for a couple hours more," he mumbled, half glaring with curiosuty in his eyes as he wtached Jim closely. "Dare I ask with crew you're part of?"

"No contact for so long?! Geez.." Jim gasped and couldn't even imagine how boring that would be.. But his thoughts were quickly interrupted when Loki began to clean his wound. When he was done, Jim glanced down with a little smile at the bandage,
"Thanks.. " He said shortly, and thought about his last question for a moment.
"I'm with The Marines. We were chasing some pirates when we ended up here.." Jim lied as he glanced around in the big libary.

Loki shrugged and leaned back agains the the chouch, glancing at the bookshelves. "Well, not many of us complains. That way, we're out of danger. We were I mean..." he added and frowned to himself. "Though I would be lying if i said i wasn't exacited about this turn of events."
Hearign Jim say he was with the Marines, eh felt both relived and supicious. Jim was a stranger, he could be lying. "I see... any reason why you were playing cat and mouse near a dying star?"

"These pirates are the most fearsome in the whole galaxy, so we have to catch them - no matter what.." Jim said, and tries to hide a small smile on her lips. He had choosed the perfect piratecrew..
"What's your name, by the way?" He asked and turned his gaze to the teen again.

"You sound awfully proud of that crew," Loki pointed out flatly.
Yupp, we're in trouble if the pirates are that infamous... Is it bad that only mkaes me more excited? he aksed himself.
"Loki Laufeyson," he answerd with a nodd, as if in mock gretting. "and before you ask, no i'm not ten. And by what name do you go by?"

"I do?.. Hmm.. No, I just think that they are a great opponents.." Jim shrugged slightly and leaned back in the couch.
"Loki, huh? I'm Jim Hawkins.. Nice to meet you." He smiled and reached out a hand to him - it would be best to keep on doing the "nice-guy" thing..
"So.. are you working here or something?!"

"RIght..." he murmured, not convinced by Jim's words, but deiced not to push it for now, just in case...
"No, i just enjoy thrasihg the library for no reason at all," he said with a tone that clealry stated he wa sbeing sarcastic. "Since i helped with your wond, wouldyou mind doing me a favour?" he asked instead, suddnely staring Jim right in the eyes as if daring him to refuse.

Jim rolled his eyes by his sarcastic tone, but just nodded and stood up from the couch.
"Sure.. What do you want me to do?" He asked with a bored voice and looked around.
"Clean up the mess you did with the books?"
