She was already considering where in the library she needed to go when he started listing. Then he... just kept going.
Oh lord.
She tried not to look too obviously pained. She was an intern. This was, quite literally, exactly why she was here. To deal with the kind of people that absolutely no one else would want to, like girls covered in glitter and asking scared questions about grotesques, and kind of haphazardly dressed men wandering in off the streets to ask about every goddamn neo-pagan subject he picked out of a drum circle.
It was irritating, particularly because she knew they had good resources on some of those subjects, and she probably shouldn't bother to give him any of them. People who weren't idiots might need them.
"No need," she said, pain kept carefully out of her voice. She'd be lucky if she got him through half of that list. "You said phytotherapy to start with, yes? Supplemental and homeopathic medicine will be nearby."
She walked out from around the desk, already running through the exact shelves in her mind, and which books might be most useful to a fool. This revealed that her blouse was, in fact, a dress; not the most common thing for her to wear. She preferred a skirt and jacket combination, but it was a dull sort of brown-grey, patterned thing, and paired with a thin belt, it practically looked like a blouse and skirt combination anyway. And leggings made sure it was professional. Fast strides carried her across the library; she was certain a man with half a foot on her, who appeared to be 40% leg, could keep up.
In the section still haphazardly contained by the Dewey Decimal system, then, 615... .3 and .8 both, probably, yes. It was a larger section here than it perhaps would be in other libraries.
"Here, you should find books on medicinal herbs. Further down, in that section there, you'll find more on homeopathic and traditional medicines." She smiled, which of course came out looking forced, because it pretty much always did. "I'm afraid it's a bit of a hunt to find anything particularly useful. If you'd care to narrow it down for me, I might be able to help you find what you're looking for." So that they wouldn't be here all day, and she could work on her actual schoolwork.
((I normally hide my reference images in the text but here I'll just hand it to you. :P))
