[Steve's voice sounds clear and well rehearsed as he speaks into his bracelet, as if he had actually planned the speech before hand to avoid stumbling on his words. Which...he'll never admit to.]

This may sound strange, but I was wondering if anyone is at all skilled in sewing. I have something that needs patching up, but the damage is more than I'm able to fix myself. I would really appreciate it if someone would help me out. I'm willing to pay for the work, of course.

[This is a task he's been putting off, but as things move closer and closer to total warfare, he figures now is as good a time as any to have his uniform patched up.]

...If anyone has any tips on getting out blood stains, that would help a lot as well.

It looks like you've already had a few offers about sewing, and some good advice.

[ She's here all the same, a little hesitant, but - ]

Is this something that's likely to happen again, do you think? The bloodstains.

[Maybe he should have been a little more clear about the stains. Or not have mentioned them at all.]

Well, for one things. These stains happened before my arrival here. I don't what you to think I've been out in the city brawling.

As for happening again...I can't say. We do have a war on the horizon after all.

Oh, no, I didn't mean to assume - I mean, things happen here, I just wanted to make sure you were safe, had a place to lie low if you weren't. I never meant to suggest you were brawling.

[ Way to go Granger. How to make Friends 101. ]

If it needs stitched again - well, I can help. Hopefully we won't have any fighting to do for a bit, but...

Oh. I'm sorry. It's just some other people have made assumptions and I didn't want you to. [Way to put your foot in your mouth Rogers.] I'm fine. The only thing I need to lie low from is my embarrassment.

Well, I've had some offers already. But if nothing comes of those I would be happy to take you up on your offer.

It's alright. As long as no one's actually hurt and it's only your embarrassment. [ She does sound a little happier, though. ] My name is Hermione Granger. If you do ever need help - don't hesitate to ask. I'll do whatever I can.

I appreciate that, Miss Granger. It's very nice to meet you. My name is Steve Rogers. I'm clearly clueless about sewing and blood stain removal, but I would be happy to help you with anything else should you need it.

Hermione - it's just Hermione, you're not one of my students. [ She might be teasing. Mostly. ] Unless you have a particular aptitude for cleaning up libraries or taking care of owls I think you'll be safe for a while.

Alright, Hermione it is. I can't say I have much experience with either, no. But I have nothing but time to learn.

Then we'll just have to teach you. There's nothing wrong with going out of your way to learn a little more.

Honestly I'd be willing to learn anything at this point. There's only so many hours a person can spend at the gym before getting bored of the routine.

[He has so much free time right now it's beginning to drive him insane.]

Besides, I haven't actually been by the library yet. It sounds like a nice change of pace.

Oh, it's lovely! There are books from almost all of the worlds people have mentioned here and the bookshelves seem never ending - there's a lot of information on Asgard, too, which I've tried to condense as much as I can. It's incredible, one of the things I'd miss the most if I went home.

[ She hesitates, then, coughing a little from her embarrassment. ]

I think libraries get me a little carried away.

[He chuckles in response to her enthusiasm.]

That's alright. Do you think if I stopped by you could give me some recommendations?

Oh! Of course! I'd love to, definitely. I'm free quite a lot of the time so it'd be no bother at all.

Good. I'll keep that in mind. I'd actually like to read up on this place. Learn more about it.

I've actually written a brief introduction, if you'd like to read it..?

Yeah, I would like that.

That's good! Okay, um, well. You could just send me a message?

Or I can stop by the library sometime. I need all the excuses I can get to leave my room.

Definitely! We're still clearing things up and making sure it's fit to use but you should come by anytime. I'm sure the books will be happy.
