I never quite figured out exactly what it was that would cause protagonist #1 to get pissed off at protagonist #2, and I'm on the scene now. *sigh*

Protagonist #1 aka T (student at a college of magic) came to protagonist #2 aka P (librarian at same) for help solving a magical problem. T is getting frustrated because no progress is being made. P knows there's no solution to this problem but LIKES T which is the reason he agreed to "help" in the first place.

A bit about P--he's incredibly intelligent, usually gentle and sweet, but also artless and absentminded. So he tends to say things unknowingly that piss people off. This is where my scene is supposed to go, but I'm not sure how to get it there.

The scene begins with some humor and light flirting going on as they greet one another. They're about to delve into some research into the "science" of Elemental Magic.

I'm not sure how much detail to give away, in order to help fuel this brainstorming! Let me know if you're hopelessly confused.
