Drip. Drip. Drip.

Malva kept staring at the IV bag she had placed earlier on the stand and clipped it carefully so the pressure and flow wouldn't be shook by their rather hyper patient that had gotten himself admitted because he felt from the 4th floor. It was a surprise to see him still breathing despite the multiple bone fractures and minor concussion in his head. She took up the advice her youngest sister, Aurantia's advice and got back to the lands of working again. She missed treating people despite her main profession and area of expertise is mainly on pathology. However, she had a minor in ER, so she often went there to oversee everything else and help when needed. "You lucky sucker." She snickered slightly to herself as she shook her head in response to the patient sleeping soundly. 

Tucking both her hands inside her coat, she glanced at the clock that was hung near the counter and as soon as she saw it was indicating her shift was almost over. It was early morning, around 5 am. She was sure the library was open at this time of the day, as she usually ventured there occasionally when she needed to do a few readings here and there. Not that many actually came there. It's all on the gadgets, really. Whilst the Aspect of Magic admitted that she relied her sources and information hunting on Google itself, she missed the old and much more reusable ways of pitting the information against each other and slowly piecing them up. Frustrations might accompany but overall, it was what made it fun. Knowing you could infer at almost every part. 

In a few minutes, her shift would be over and she could be on her merry way, attempting to resolve her current dilemma at the library. Shrugging off her doctor's coat, she hung them neatly on the rack stand, and wrapped a trench coat to replace it instead. Sorting out the remaining files on her desk, she checked herself out as she went down to the carpark. Yes, she has surprisingly opted to drive as a form of transportation since her residency was quite a distance from the hospital. Turning on the engines, she settled herself in the driver's seat as she got her phone out and made sure to tell Tatiana that she'll be coming back late tonight since she needed to get working on her case. Tossing it to the passenger's seat, she exited the compound and drove to the city center where the library is located at. 

As soon as she arrived in front of the slightly 18th century building, she got out from her car after parking it with a her bag slung over her as she gripped on it firmly before making her way inside. She passed by the receptionist who gave a her a warm smile. Surprisingly the library there opened earlier than most places. It was probably due to some students coming there for study sessions and Evermore was pretty tolerant about it. But then again, Evermore is a place for tolerance considering their population deriving from so many different supernaturals. Malva took a seat at the very far end near the history section that was just next to the law aisle. Why did she opt for a public library instead of her own mini library in the manor that had way more intel she needed? For the same reason why she kept her distance. Privacy. Malva took a particular book on the settlement of Rus' vikings in Kievan Rus that was now comprised of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.
