"Okay Jessica"
Kothar was about to say something else when they landed at there destination and the car door opened.
"Looks like we're here"

"What were you going to say?" She asked, stepping out of the car. Much better to be out of the tiny vehicle. Her claustrophobia had come very close to taking over.

"I was going to say that I am concerned about your wellbeing and wanted to know if there is anything I can do which would help make things easier for you"
Kothar looked around to see if he could spot any signs for the library
"But well that's just being silly and a bit of a softie; I mean we hardly know each other and yet I'm caring about you like we've known each other for years"

Jessica looked at him for a moment, curiosity on her face. Then she worked it out. "It's not silly" she said "it's an emotional response. I'm human, something that's clearly rare around here, and, for now at least, I'm your partner. Also, you're male and I'm female. All of which combine to make you feel the need to protect me when I appear vulnerable." She said all this as if it were textbook.

Kothar couldn't help but chuckle at what Jessica said.
"I'm sorry it's just the male needing to protect a female thing. I've met women; well one woman and a girl who have both protected me and certainly saved my life on a number of occasions"
Kothar smiled at her
"Yes it is an emotional response and yes in some way it is because we are partners on this quest; as an old soldier, I am used to watched over my brothers and sisters in arms. But believe me it is profoundly deeper than something you'd find in a psychology textbook. I feel like I should take care of you; not because you seem like you need it but rather it's a feeling that I get inside me, inside my very soul. Sorry I'm rambling and being all weird now"

Jessica looked at him, curiously, her mouth just a little open in surprise. 'There's always a catch. Play along. Catch him out. You always catch them out.' She closed her mouth and nodded slowly, a faint smile curling the corners of her mouth. "Any sign of the library?" She asked, changing the subject.

Kothar pointed across a footbridge which spanned the two sides of the Presidium and had cars flying underneath them.
"I believe it is that building there with the two metal statues outside of it; the ones reading books"

Jessica nodded. All this open space was starting to get to her too. Good thing to head for a building. "So let's go" she said with a smile, heading for the statues.

Kothar followed Jessica and eventually fell into step with her. She certainly seemed better now that they were out of the car.

Once inside the library, Jessica definitely felt better. She stopped and stared around. She'd never seen anything like it.
