Gathering stormclouds overhead loudly announced their presence with a far-off thunderclap. Blue eyes shifted upwards just to confirm this, although the tabby was aware that doing so was unnecessary. Grey skies were not uncommon in a swamp, he supposed, and this wouldn't be the first storm he had seen since arriving in Tanglewood.
Unfortunately for Alaric, he had just completed reading another one of the library's medical books. He placed it on the stack of books closest to him and reached for the next in line. He recoiled in surprise as his paw touched bare floor. So this was the last book in his queue, it seemed. That meant he needed more, and with a storm fast approaching, he would need to get to the library and back with haste.
Collecting the books he had not returned in a small satchel, he made for the door of his home. The trek from his house to the library was not long, thankfully, and within minutes he had come upon the structure. As it came into view, blue hues landed upon a bird, who Alaric recognized as one of the several joiners that had come to see Beck. He could not recall the bird's name, though, and although he didn't care to know, maybe it would make him appear a little more... welcoming if he did.
Padding towards the bird, he would say, "I don't believe I ever caught your name." He appeared grumpy, perhaps a bit irritated, but he truly was not.
