It didn't take long for Aria to figure out the system the books were in. It was an archaic system called the Dewey decimal system. It didn't surprise Aria, but it made sense that it would follow old traditions. The Atharim were after all an old institution.
With system in hand Aria found two of the three books she was looking for. The other didn't look as if it were to be found here in Moscow. If nothing proved worthy in these books she might have to make a trip to Vatican City.
The thought of returning brought up the feelings of nostalgia and home. Comfort and peace were far from what she thought of when she thought of her situation then, but now, the bunker beneath the Historical Society was something she longed for.
Aria didn't look forward to seeing Father Dimitri again. He had never corrected her on her assumptions and Aria thought it was highly rude. But that was the Atharim for you she supposed.
Aria sat down at the table but the chair was far from comfortable and the while it was warm here, she didn't like it. The peace and quiet was nice, she found it oddly too quiet. Maybe her apartment wasn't so bad after all.
Aria picked up her things and the three books she had found note worthy, including Monsters for A to Z. It wasn't the actual title, but it was cute to think of it that way. Aria spoke softly to the woman at the desk. "I'm taking these three books. I'll bring them back later.
Aria spread the three books so the covers were visible, but it hardly mattered as the woman barely even glanced at her much less the books. Aria probably could have walked out the door with her not even noticing. Such security in this place. Perhaps the stories of a potential robbery were not so false.
The walk back to her apartment was short, and Aria was thankful the weather had not warmed at all since she'd been in the basement of the mansion. Her apartment was not nearly as warm but it was home.
Aria sat down with the books she had and started thumbing through them. Perhaps she'd find something useful.
