Leon huffed, looking away. For some reason, this particular whim of his brother's was irritating him more than usual. "Gods, will you just leave the girl alone?"
Neol rocked back on his heels, eyeing Leon sidelong. A smirk spread across his face. "Why, baby brother, is that you staking a claim?"
Leon flushed, glowering at him. "Shut. Up."
Of course, he was ignored. Turning back to the librarian, Noel said in a loud whisper, "See, it's not like him to take such an interest. You must be something pretty special, sweetheart."
