If he could get along so fine on his own, why did he need her to run around the entire goddamn library for him? Hmph. Be incompetent or condescending: pick one.
It took Bree the better part of an hour to get all the damn books together. She had to wheel one of those goddamn ladders around with her, because while she was perfectly capable of clambering up the sides of shelves without damaging them, that sort of behavior was frowned upon. Why did she wear skirts again? She was always paranoid someone would come up underneath her. Right. Professional attire, or whatever. There was a wider range of outfits she could get away with if she wore skirts and dresses instead of trousers. Really, though, if she was going to be dressing like this, she should invest more in leggings and less in garter belts, no matter how much cheaper stockings were.
She thumbed through the books idly as she gathered. What would be more interesting, if this was a pen name, or if it was one extremely old person? The information was so esoteric and ranged that she suspected pen name, but honestly? She knew weirder people now--well, one weirder person. It was possible that it was one person.
Also, the information seemed crammed into these books. And didn't look like utter garbage, from what little she knew of witchcraft. ...What? She was cursed, obviously she'd done research. She didn't have a magical bone in her body, though, save perhaps for the extra vertebrae magic had caused.
She hummed to herself, tapping thoughtfully on an illustration of a dissected crow. And he was a professor? She would definitely be taking note of his name and field... and address... Just as a precaution, of course. One had to avoid trouble, after all.
Finally, she had all the books stacked at the front desk. How in god's name was he even going to carry fifty-ish books out of here by himself? She was going to need to get him a box or something... She fetched that; she could stack them into it as she scanned. Lord. He'd better have all his shit on him, after all this. She was not going to spend the rest of her day reshelving because this dumbass forgot his ID. Unless exactly that happened, because it was well and truly out of her hands.
She found him still on the floor, still surrounded by books. Barefoot. Had he been barefoot the entire fucking time? She didn't make a habit of looking at--wait, no, there were his shoes. She wasn't even going to bother. She wasn't paid enough to ask some weird professor slash witch slash idiot to put his goddamn shoes back on and act like a civilized person.
"The books are ready for you at the front desk," she said instead. "Whenever you're finished. I left a note on them for my employees, so take your time." Please. Take so much time.
