[color=green][h2]♥ Dorkle Stein [/h2][/color]

After his mentor left, Dorkle was alone once more. He went back to work, silently. [color=green][i]"Come on... come on..."[/i][/color] he mumbled to himself. He checked the time almost every thirty seconds, as if it would help time move faster. He just wanted to get out of here and go investigate and explore. 

As if his prayers were answered, his mother strolled in the library and was approaching the front desk. [b]"Dorkle dear! I've decided to check on you,"[/b] she said in a surprisingly loud yet hushed tone. It felt loud but wasn't loud enough to bother anyone. His mother truly has mastered the librarian voice. 

[color=green]"Mother! Yes! Hi! Can I go now PLEASE?"[/color] Dorkle said.

The entire building shushed him immediately. He had not mastered the librarian voice yet. 

[b]"Dorkle, you must be quiet. We are in a library after all,"[/b] his mother scolded. [b]"Go where? What do you have going on? Some crazy experiment again? When are you going to stop with that nonsense and focus on taking care of the library?"[/b]

[color=green]"It's my life, mother."[/color]

[b]"This library has been in our family for centuries. From your father's father's father's father all the way down to your father. And one day, you. So Dorkle, please. Stop with that science stuff."[/b]

Unable to deal with his mother at the moment, Dorkle stormed out of the library before she could do or say anything else. He could feel some tears welling up in his eyes and walked as fast as he could to his make-shift lab. [color=green][i]"I just have to prove myself! I will find that human and ... and... well... I'll figure it out when I get there!"[/i][/color]
