At least Abraham isn't acting like he should be locked up in a sanitarium. That's a start. "There's a couple of Librarians here that are explaining it to people as they arrive. Did you see a black cat?" The Cat could explain things better than Steve could be the being seemed to like to hide and watch before making his presence known.

"I know it's hard to deal with something like this. I've had to do it before." The Library probably would have been easier to deal with than the time displacement. "I don't think we're here permanently. No one has made it sound like we're prisoners." If they had, Steve would have been plotting how to get out and get back home as soon as possible.

"I usually know the difference, but there's some that are too close to memory." And that would have been enough to cause Steve to say yes automatically. "I would've said yes if they'd asked in a more traditional way." Hopefully Abraham would feel the same way about the offer. Steve isn't sure what the Librarians would do if someone didn't want to be here. Probably send the person back but considering the wounds Abraham must have had before he arrived, that might not be the best situation.
