The Library Again~! (Cryktos)

[Kujyaku]

Thread Date: Summer 48

Kujyaku went out on her daily adventures equipped with nothing. Today she thought she would go to the library and read some books about hunting, to further develop her job skills. She walked through the town, the stench of fish and salt in the air, but being in Zeltiva for so long, she didn’t mind. Kujyaku finally reached her destination. The University of Zeltiva’s Library. She hasn’t been there for awhile, so she was excited to get to reading again. The library was quite today it seemed, maybe everyone was off to class. Kujyaku didn’t know though as she couldn’t afford it. Stepping into the library, she knew she had to be quite, which was going to be harder for her. Who knew who she was going to meet today. Kujyaku wore a long blue silk dress that accented her long brown hair with golden highlights. Her horns went upwards in long pink and white branches, that then split off into many others.

Kujyaku looked through the books, and went directly to the section about hunting and wildlife. Picking a book that was too heavy, she struggled to hold it as she found a book bout herbs. She exclaimed a loud noise in excitement, then went to grab it, when suddenly she dropped both of her books on the ground with a large bang.

“Petch....” She murmured under her breathe, hoping no one heard he cussing, but she bent down to grab the books.

Summer, 48 Cryktos heard the loud thud and looked over from the table he sat at, the papers rustling quietly as he moved to look. His hood covered his eyes, but he could see that a woman had dropped her books, and noticed her picking them up, papers falling out from among the pages. He stood up, and heard her curse, which he smirked at, and walked over to help. He stood near her, and knelt, picking up the pages gently, and handing them to her. "Pages are more important than the binding that holds them." He said, before returning to his seat, rummaging through his pages and books, looking for where he left off.

[Kujyaku]

Kujyaku was picking up the books when a man came down and helped her. "Why- tha-" but the man had already walked off with a quote of his own. She took her books to the table he sat at, and with a loud thunk dropped them on the table. She flipped to a random point of the hunting book, and saw the page of hunting deer. Skimming through it, she looked up.

"Thank you for the help. I am Kujyaku." Kuj smiled, and waved mildly. "So what do you do? " Kujyaku looked down at her book, then looked back up. The library was mostly quite, with an occasional whisper or help from the librarian. Looking down at his book she asked, "hey, what are you reading?" Kujyaku yawned, the silent atmosphere getting to her.

[Cryktos Ellios]

"Please, allow me to answer one question at a time." He said, sighing, and marking his place in his book. He closed it and set it aside, picking up and straightening his papers and tossing back his hood. "First, allow me the pleasure of introducing my self. I am Cryktos, the resident reimancer at the docks. I pull ships in and out of port with my wind. The book I am reading happens to be about all the various combinations of the elements, but it is in Nader Canoch, and I must translate it thoroughly in order to study." He returned to his book, opening it and moving the papers back, his quill a blur as he wrote quickly but steadily. "So, Kujyaku, tell me about yourself. Why you are here, for instance, what your purpose here is. If it's no trouble, of course."

[Kujyaku]

"Oh. Uh... I come here to read about hunting and herbalism" Kujyaku was always too eager when it came to new people, she help up the two books. "They are so old, it's nice to read!" Kujyaku lost the smile on her face. "Uh, if you don't mind me asking, but what is reimancy? " Kujyaku knew it was a magic, but she never had seen magic, or even knew the basics. Kujyaku looked down at his book, seeing that it was in a foreign language. Only speaking common, and languages were foriegn.

Kujyaku's hair went down into her face as she tried to bring enough air into her lungs to blow it away. Her hair went down to her lower back, so blowing it away would take a lot of force. "I live in Zeltiva. I have a small cottage. I have a job as a hunter so that is why I came here."

[Cryktos Ellios]

Cryktos stared at her. Having known magic for most of his life, he was surprised to meet someone that had not known how it worked. He gathered and lightly pulsated his res near her face, which blew her hair gently over her head. Continuing into his book, he spoke. "It is a simple study, if you're willing to become one of us. Mages, I mean. It is a painful process, and it is sometimes very long. But on another note, I also live here, in Zeltiva. I live here primarily for the Library and the University, but I must make a living, so I work at the docks." He adjusted his hood, allowing him to see the whole room in front of him without anyone knowing. He continued writing on the pages, occasionally stopping and restarting.

[Kujyaku]

" I see." Kujyaku said, now playing with her fingers, completely unable to focus. She looked up at Cryktos. "Want to go somewhere? Anywhere... I need to get out of this. DRAB place." Kujyaku yelled "drab" out, which make a lot of "shush!" And "shhhh!" Come her way. She giggled a bit. "Lets try something new. What do we have to lose?" Kujyaku stuck her tongue out. "We're you just going to sit here all day?! I want to see your magic."

Kujyaku stood up with her books. "So what will it be?"

[Cryktos Ellios]

"Hmmmm...." He pondered this offer, and, having nothing else to do, stood up, and nodded. He gathered his books into his satchel, and started walking to the doorway. Every so often, as he walked, he adjusted his pitch black cloak, and it seemed to change colors. He stopped by a desk and picked up a piece of paper, reading it, and folded it, and placed it into his pocket, and downed his hood. He adjusted his satchel as he walked, and went to a large staff made of wood, and he picked it up, using it to walk. He engaged in many short conversations, every now and then, and smiled when he left. He stopped at the door, waiting. "Shall we get going?" He asked, waiting at the door.
