Ivan practically lived in the library. He trusted and loved the place so much that he stored what belongings he did have here instead of at home. When one's home is a place where six kittens are growing up in, there wasn't too much privacy. Though Ivan loved his family there was just sometimes where he had to get away.
The young cat apparently had never heard of the maxim of not making a habit of sleeping in one's workplace. The library proved to be one of his favorite places to sleep. Ivan was a notorious sleep-kicker and unfortunately a light sleeper at that as well, constantly waking himself up. However, when he sandwiched himself like a charred loaf of bread in the spaces between books on the shelves, his body usually stayed still enough for him to get a good rest.
That was him now, until Alice's coughing roused him and he grunted, cracking the stiffness out of his bony shoulders. He was always worried about Alice, and treated her considerably more delicately than his brothers. This caused him to be somewhat awkward around her, especially if he was trying to figure out how to properly interact with her. He felt guilty about this, nonetheless, so when he realized she was in the library, he was excited to think he had another sibling interested in books. They were, of course, named after books!
"Hi Alice!" He meowed. Unfortunately, Aurum had stolen the question right out of his mouth, so Ivan settled for trotting over to his sister's side and leaning his head down, attempting to rub his nose against her cheek in greeting.
