Lawrence let out a bored sigh as he leaned back on a large cushion that was placed on a large red carpet in the middle of the large library within the Spire. There were a few other cushions, some tables, and a couple of cushioned chairs as well. Non-fictional books were laying around in clumsy piles around him and he held a book over himself as he lied there on his back titles 'Strange Fact'. The young man gave a yawn as he read through the book and crossed his right leg over his left, the legs of the pajama pants rubbing against each other. A normal person will die from total lack of sleep sooner than from starvation. Death will occur about 10 days without sleep, while starvation takes a Few weeks.......If you are locked in a completely sealed room, you will die of carbon dioxide poisoning first before you will die of oxygen deprivation......The word "listen" contains the same letters as the word "silent"... Lawrence silently read to himself, flipping the page. Although some of these facts were interesting, he could feel himself becoming more and more bored by the second.

Throwing the book to the side he let out another sigh and rose to his feet, knocking over a few books as he made his way to the front entrance. He left the room and made his way down the hallway. The sun shone brightly through the large glass windows and the view of the city was incredible from this high up in the Spire. He made his way down a few flights of stairs, ignoring the fact that there were plenty of elevators because this time he actually felt like walking. He'd been sitting in the library for too long and his legs had started to tingle. As he went down a few levels and entered the lower level living room. He stopped as he came through the doorway and noticed the back of the head of what looked to be the the red hair of the Queen of Spades. "You must be as bored as I am!" He said, walking up behind the couch and leaning his elbows on the top of the furniture, resting his head on his chin as he smiled down at the girl. She seemed to be bundled up and he wondered if maybe she was cold. Of course, in his pajama pants and hoodie jacket it felt like the building temperature was quite normal.
