"I will bring it to you, my lady." The devil bowed. "Where would you like to spend the morning?"
"I guess I'll spend it in the library. That seems like the right place."
"Very good, my lady."
"Lucas?" Mifa bit her lip as the devil looked up. "Where is the library?"
He blinked at her for a moment before smiling. "If you will follow me, my lady."

[a few hours later]
'I'm so bored!'
Mifa moved some of the papers that were near her face. Her head had dropped to the surface over an hour ago after the books she pulled down had lost her interest. So had the paper airplanes, doodles, and the timeline she was supposed to be working on.
"Are you alright, my lady?"
She screamed, jumping up with a book in hand to hit her attacker. The girl tried to calm down when she saw Lucas.
"Jeez," she put a hand to her racing heart. "Put a bell around your neck!"
