Tuck Friar seemed terribly content on continuing to take his time as he continued to drift lazily through the isles of books. There was, much to his dismay; only realistic-fiction and non-fiction titles from what he could see. Surely there had been lot's of fiction that he had passed up on his journey through the library, but alas; such a thin eye was bound to miss what he was looking for, especially when it was hidden in a dusty viel of other leather-encased books which were of an entirely different genre. Still, he continued to trudge on; occasionaly looking over his shoulder or up at the top of book-cases in hopes of taking sight of Glen Ballard, who had ran off, obviously not wanting to listen to him continuesly blabber about nonsense that he was probably entirely knowledgable of stuff. But, really; if you were in Tuck Friar's position, you couldn't help but blame the cat. It wasn't like there would be a reward of soup or tea (the cat's favourite delectables, to be a bit more precise) waiting for him if he managed to sit through the entire thing. He would be found soon- now actually, seeing that watchful yet easily distracted eyes managed to catch sight of the black and white-tom cat; who's ridiculously puffy coat allowed Tuck to tell him apart from others who held an appearance similiar to his. Of course, those unusual, icy-blue eyes also helped quite a bit.
"There you are!" Tuck's voice seemed to simply split the air as he finnaly caught sight of his feline-companion, crouched down on one of the many bookshelves, tail flicking left and right, kicking stale dust and allowing it to flutter away in a rather scared manner; almost like a canary showed pitty upon- one that had been momentarily released, and unless it managed to make it's full escape in time, it would be once more in the fierce Pussy-Cat's grasp, eventually going to be chewed and swallowed.
The cat did not reply, just continued to allow his tail to flicker back and forth, back and forth; kicking dust up (there really wasn't much at the moment anyway- the extra inhabitants had helped throw a lot of it off as it is) as if he was a duster hard at work- though not really thinking about where it was to go.
With a sly grin, the cat nodded his head in reply; letting out an obviously sarcastic yawn. Strange almost clear claws digging into the rather neat oak below. Brilliant icy eyes starring intently into Mr. Friar's much less eccentric gaze.

"You decided to take your time, you know!" Glen meowed, tail flicking back and forth in interest as he looked towards Tuck, that typical sly grin spread across his muzzle as his ears continued to flick backwards and forwards in a manner that could make any swear that he was trying to taunt them abit- or at least highly amused by their stupidity. How they were stupid? Well, with a cat as old and as wise as Glen Ballard, almost everyone but Ikar could be titled 'stupid' with just a glance from the cat.
But, in reality the cat was actually rather interested in what he was seeing from a distance. Two ails down- Ikar was there, but he was quite honestly too lazy to tromp over there and cause a commotion at the moment. None the less, a perticuliar book caught his eye. "Captain Albert Alexander" was whom he believed was the 'hero' of this story. A true sailor if he remembered correctly- hell, he might of even knew the actual man behind the wheel of that ship. Well, he couldn't be sure; Glen Ballard thought he knew the hero of a lot of stories, especially if they included a life at sea. Hadn't he once came across Moby Dick? He had thought he had anyway. . . all's Tuck did was blabber about it to himself though, so he couldn't be entirely sure. None the less, he thought he knew a lot of characters (or at least he seemed to show much pride in thinking that he knew them,). Mr. Alexander was no exception to this list, surely! The tale of when he had helped a hundred-story-high walrus was still in his mind, and he could picture is clearly. Surely it meant that he had came across this man once before (surely he hadn't)!
