[Okay, so maybe he slightly deserves this. It's not exactly becoming of an adult to climb shelves like this. But what he doesn't deserve is to have the book dangled over his head like he's a child. He carefully rights himself, feet back on the ground.]

I've been waitlisted for the past three weeks and didn't receive a single email about its return. [He'd say something about how he's not letting the book get snatched up from under his nose, but unfortunately that's already happened. So he can't help but glower up at this towering menace who isn't helping his irritation one bit.

However, unlike this moron, he has manners. Ignis extends an open palm.] So may I have my book, please?
