Qaz was initially surprised that the front door to the library was large enough that he didn't need to change size to fit within like most buildings he visited. The glossy black dutchie strode with soft steps, his glowing markings defining his details where his sculpting did not. There was enough room he could have spread his wings when passing over the threshold, but he kept them folded to his sides, optical scanners taking in the space beyond from behind his "closed" eyes.

The digital dutch angel paused as he realized the reason for the door's size. Behind an enormous desk sat a red-scaled dragoness. Plainly placed on the desk was a plaque large enough to be read by smaller folks standing at its base: 'Leseratte, Head Librarian'.

Leseratte turned her head towards the large guest to the library. Placing a claw as long as the desk was wide atop it, she leaned lightly towards the glowing glossy beast. "Good afternoon. How may I help you today?" Her voice was large, but tempered with the ease of practice to not boom throughout the space.

Qaz very rarely encountered creatures larger than his base default size. He took a few steps closer to the desk. "I sent a message ahead, requesting to scan some rare books in your collection..." As he spoke, his muzzle remained unchanged, no sign of where his jaws would part, if they even could.

She perked, and shifted to step aside from the desk, towards a very large computer monitor. "Ah yes, I have the list here..." Placing the tip of one claw onto a track-ball the size of a bowling ball, she very carefully navigated her computer. "I wasn't sure when you would be coming by mister... Qaz?"

"Yes, that's right." The dutchie nodded. "I rarely keep a schedule, mostly busying myself as public art to be admired by the... well, public." Qaz chuckled warmly, tilting his head lightly as his eye markings curved into the impression of a smile.

Leseratte smirked lightly as she set to printing out the list on an old dot-matrix. "Well, I could use a handsome sculpture to welcome visitors to our new computer lounge, if you'd mind the relocation~" Her voice lilted playfully.

The markings of Qaz' shut eyes on his face properly shifted into open circles as he stood a bit straighter. Everything else in the library grew dimmer as his optical sensors focused in on the frame of the dragon before him, her posture, the way she held herself when she bandied back his playful comment...

The librarian, however, had turned her attention to a group of kobolds standing at attention nearby. Each was dressed with a little robe that spoke to academia without seeming too pompous. She took the, to her, ticker tape sized printout of the list of rare books and handed it to the kobold in front. "Please fetch these books and move them to a clean examination room."

The kobold saluted while holding the list, then, with practiced smoothness, tore the paper along serrations into smaller parts that were handed out to the rest of the present kobolds. Once given their tasks, they all scurried off into the stacks.

Leseratte returned her attention to her guest, her eyes meeting the markings on his face directly. "This won't be too long."

Qaz felt a pang of desire, his optical sensors fixated on her gaze. 'Oh no...' he thought to himself silently as he failed to resist that urge.

The dragoness held up a foreclaw to start walking towards the aforementioned clean room when she stumbled, her mass moving towards Qaz.

The black dutchie smoothly pushed into action, moving to catch her by rearing up rampant and wrapping his forelegs around her chest.

Leseratte on the other hand, instinctively wrapped her forelegs and wings around the smaller beast as she came to a stop. "Oh, forgive me... I just had a bit of Vertigo."

Qaz squeezed, trying to hide the elation he felt in holding the object of his desire. "I'd better hold on, then." He spoke quietly, as he found himself blushing in bright ovals just beneath his eye marks. Of course she had vertigo, the gravitational field around his body had changed as a side-effect of his emotional state without him even consciously willing it. He was usually so good about keeping that in check, even around those he desired.

Vertigo was not unheard of to a large dragoness, but Leseratte found herself wondering why the seeming upheaval of up and down had not yet gone away, and furthermore that it was now so consistent. Her mind, sans her eyes, was telling her that she was on top of Qaz, that down was in the direction of his chest. But she knew she was merely beside him, perhaps a little leaned over him from her unstable stance.

The dragoness blushed as she realized she'd wrapped her wings right around him, and started to unfurl them to take them back to her sides. Her brow furrowed in confusion as the muscles of her wing-arms told her a contradicting story to her sense of up and down, that the opposite side of Qaz was up, making gravity resist her attempt to remove them from his body.

Qaz held fast, his voice smooth and calming. "Relax, at least until the kobolds return."

Nodding, Leseratte found herself feeling another strange twinge of vertigo, only soothed when she rested her jaw between the dutchie's horns atop his head. Blushing a bit deeper at how her simple trip had turned into a quite intimate embrace, she shifted her body slightly. Against her scales, he was as smooth as he seemed from his glossy surface, and he was surprisingly soft in her grasp. "I... I think I can do that... you're wonderful to hold..."
