She knew she wasn't supposed to be here yet but there were too many creatures around the check in building so she was too afraid to walk in and fill out the paper work. That's why she ended up here. She was hoping she could hide for a while and go back later when it was less crowded. Looking around a bit, she saw that no one else was in there but her and she began to relax. Then she began to notice that the place was full of books so she decided to take a look around for a while. Maybe, if she was lucky, she could find a good book on clockwork. Or maybe one of music boxes. She needed to brush up on her repairing skills and there were still a few things she didn't understand about making them. If she ever wanted to become the best, she would have to practice a lot. Which also meant hours and hours of intense studying. It took her a few minutes to find a good book. But of course, it was on one of the highest shelves and she couldn't reach. She stretched her arm to try and grab it but her arm was too short. She even started to jump a bit but she couldn't jump very high and was still unable to reach it. With a sigh, she sat on the ground while putting her head in her hands. "I'm so hopeless... Why can't I do anything right?" she muttered to herself quietly before pulling out her father's pocket watch. She opened it up and smiled a bit as the music began to play. The melody began to ease some of her stress but it made her feel sad too so she held it close to her heart and closed her eyes as she thought about her parents.

Endo The library at the castle was full, but this had little to no people. Excellent. Wrapping his tail around his right leg, Endo walked into the bookstore and allowed his magenta eyes to take in his surroundings. Yes, little to no people, maybe a few, and they surely wouldn't bother him. Now he could relax in peace with the only friends he needed: literature.

She had no idea if the person was a human or some odd creature but she didn't want to be spotted just in case. Still on the floor, she crawled to peek around the bookcase she was at and spotted an odd looking boy. Then she noticed the horns on the top of his head which made her back up again to hide among the books. She didn't like this at all. Koti feared demons more than anything. Slowly she stood back up and sighed heavily. Stay calm... You can do this. Just keep to yourself and you'll stay out of trouble. You came here to read anyway. No need to freak out. Yet... she thought as she looked back up at the book she wanted. Unless she could grow a few inches in the next couple of minutes, there was no way she'd be able to reach it from the shelf it was on. A frown formed on her face and her bangs hung to hide her sad doe eyes, but she shrugged her shoulders before moving on to a new section of books to find something else. Hopefully she could find a good book that wasn't on such a high shelf and that it would be as far from the demon as possible.

Raziel
Raziel walked into a small bookstore. Books had always been his weakness, he loved them. He was carrying a bag of pastries he had just purchased with him and since they were still fresh they gave off a sweet aroma. He closed the bag the best he could so wouldn't bother anyone although he couldn't see how anyone could be bothered by the smell. He was happy to see there was a couple people already in the store. He noticed one of them was a demon and although demons usually made him nervous, right now it didn't bother him. He also saw a girl in the store looking around. He decided to approach her but right when he was about to say hello, he nerves got to him, "Uh, I-I, h-hi." Now he felt a bit ridiculous for even trying.

xxxxxxx ♥ xxxxxxxDarkness falls, and summer will be gone ▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬xxxxxKoti had been scanning a shelf of books under the mystery section and was lost in her own world as she found some familiar titles. She couldn't help but remember the great story plots along with the amazing suspenseful twists and awesome characters. Sometimes she even found herself wishing she could be like some of the characters in books. But alas, she couldn't. She could only be her and unfortunately that wasn't very much to offer. As she was about to pull a book out she heard a voice accompanied by a sweet delicious smell that made her stomach give a quiet growl which reminded her that it had been a while since she'd eaten. She looked up to see a young blonde boy who was looking back at her. For a few seconds she looked around to see if there was someone near her that he was really talking to. It seemed highly unlikely that he could be talking to her. She noticed there wasn't anyone else near her and blinked in surprise as she saw the boy was waiting for her response. She become flushed in nervousness and embarrassment but she tried to look as confident as possible. "H-Hi there..." she said, her cheeks turning a slight pink from the way she had stuttered and she gave him a small wave. She then fiddled with her fingers as she tried to think of something else to say but her mind was drawing a blank which left them in awkward silence. The boy looked human enough but she couldn't really quite tell what he was and was too afraid to ask.

Raziel
Raziel smiled slightly when the girl returned his greeting. He just noticed she had a bandage over one eye and he began to wonder why but knew he shouldn't ask. He shifted his weight and moved the bag from one arm to the other. He saw that she looked nervous like he was. He wanted to break the silence and not knowing what else he should say, he decided to introduce himself, "Um, my name is Raziel." Not sure what to do next, he bowed.

xxxxxxx ♥ xxxxxxxDarkness falls, and summer will be gone ▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬xxxxxKoti tilted her head to the side when he bowed to her and for some reason, it made her laugh. She smiled and shook her head as she gently made him stand up straight again. "Please, no need to be so formal." she said shyly as she took his hand to shake it. Usually she would never be this calm talking to someone but she could tell he was as nervous as she was so it made her feel a little better. "It's nice to meet you Razieal. That's a really interesting name. My name's Koti. Simple and boring. At least, that's what I think." she babbled a bit before she stopped herself by biting her tongue. She didn't want to bore him to death with her mindless chatter and she really didn't want to end up admitting something personal. Once she started babbling, everything would pour out and there wouldn't be anything to hold her back from spilling important secrets. She noticed him shift the bag and she couldn't help but wonder what he was carrying. "I-Is that heavy? I could carry it for you. Well...i-if you want me to. Or you could set it down. Then again, it might get taken if you do that." she said quietly as she wanted to be helpful but she was starting to think that her offer probably sounded annoying or maybe even weird. Plus there was still that demon around and she couldn't trust him. As awful as it was to judge the man, there really was no telling what a demon could do. If he did set that bag down there was no way of knowing if the demon would steal whatever was inside it or would leave it alone. Demons were unpredictable creatures.

Raziel
Raziel ended up blushing a little when the girl touched him. Then he listened quietly as she introduced herself as Koti. When she said her name was boring, he had to disagree. He shook his head, "I don't think your name is boring and where I'm from, Raziel isn't a very unique name." In fact nearly every angel's name ended in an '-el,' he thought to himself. He couldn't help smiling when he heard her rambling. When she offered to hold the bag, his face turned a little red embarrassed to be seen struggling with it, "Um, I'll just put it down. I don't think anyone would want to try stealing a bag full of cake and pastries," he laughed a little thinking about it. Koti seemed really nice as a first impression. Then deciding to continue the conversation he said, "So...you like books, huh?" After he asked, he realized it was a foolish thing to ask, why else would she be in a bookstore?

xxxxxxx ♥ xxxxxxxDarkness falls, and summer will be gone ▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬x▬▬▬x▬x▬▬▬xxxxxKoti blushed again when he told her he didn't think her name was boring but then she became curious when he said his own name wasn't unique where he came from. She wondered where it was he might have come from but she decided she would ask him about it later. Her stomach then growled again when he mentioned the bag was full of pastries and she realized that the sweet smell was coming from them. It was ridiculous to think such a sweet scent was coming from him. "Well you never know. I mean, someone here could have a very big sweet tooth and the moment you put it down they might snatch it up then eat all of those pastries. I have a sweet tooth myself but I won't steal them, honest!" she said before realizing maybe that would make her sound suspicious because he probably hadn't even thought about her taking them. There goes her big mouth screwing up again. She just brushed it off though and smiled nervously. "You'll have to tell me where you got them from though. They smell amazing." she told him quietly. Even if she didn't have any money, it couldn't hurt to visit the store anyway and see what they had to offer. That way when she did finally get money, she would know exactly what she wanted. She snapped out of her thoughts when he asked her if she liked books and she smiled brightly as she nodded. She picked up the book she was looking at earlier and then lead him over to a spot that had chairs and a table so he could set his bag down. "I absolutely love books. Once you get caught up in one, slowly you become the character and you can feel everything they feel. And some of the places books can take you are truly fascinating. Maybe it's a bit silly or foolish of me, but that's what I love most about books. One story can make you escape the real world of despair and can take you to a place that gives you a taste of the life you wish you had. For a moment you can actually live that life until you reach the end. That's always the saddest part but luckily there's tons of books out there so once you finish one you can just start reading another." she said, trying to end on a cheery note since she realized she had been talking in such a sad tone for a while. She didn't want to start blurting out things of her past so she turned the tables around to focus more on him than her. "I'm guessing you like books as well?" she asked.

Raziel
Raziel laughed when she talked about a pastry theif. He really thought something like was very unlikely. He placed the bag down on the table as he said, "Well I don't that'll happen. I bought these from a small bakery nearby." He noticed her eyeing the sweets, "You can help yourself if you want some. I bought too many anyway," he offered as he opened the bag releasing the nearly sickeningly sweet smell it contained. "I love books of almost any kind and I can relate to how you feel when you talked about becoming the character. There's nothing better than a good book!" he said enthusiastically. It was really nice to meet someone who shared his love for literature. He didn't even really care if she turned out to be a demon at the moment.

"No,no! That's quite alright. Even though you bought too many, you still bought them. They're meant for and I couldn't possibly take one." she said as she blushed. "But thank you for the kind offer. You're very nice." she blurted out before putting her hand over her mouth to try to stop herself. The compliment had already slipped through her lips though so she had been too late. She blushed even more and hung her head so that her bangs would be a curtain to hide her embarrassment. But then she heard him talking about books again and she smiled shyly. "There really isn't. Good books have the amazing ability to make anyone smile no matter how sad or tragic their life may be. The words written on such flimsy fragile pages are like magic that can give strength to the weakest of people. It's wonderful and truly brilliant." she said as her fingers moved across the binding of the book she was holding and she had a sad look in her eyes but she quickly hid away her emotions again, giving him that smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "Though I could never be able to do something like that. I'm not that great of a writer unfortunately. But my hands are able to create. I get that from my parents. I mainly like working with clockwork. The ticking of a clock is a beautiful sound especially when you realize how many gears have to be working together in a functional system just to make that simple sound." she babbled on with a light giggle as it was obvious that clockwork was her true passion.

Raziel
Raziel's eyes widened slightly when he heard the complement. It wasn't something he heard everyday since he usually distanced himself from others. He smiled then said, "Thanks." He continued to listen to Koti as she talked about books again. He could feel a slight sadness coming from her as she spoke, but he knew better not to bring it up. When she mentioned her inability to write, he thought about the possibility of helping her since writing was his specialty. He decided not to bring that up either. Then she began to speak of clockwork and her lingering sadness seemed to melt away. With the way she spoke about it he could tell her heart was there. In heaven, an angel could simply conjurer up something like a watch, however Raziel did not like those watches as much as the ones that were painstakingly crafted one piece at a time. Since he could sense emotion, the heaven made ones seemed dull and flat while the handmade ones held a small piece of the watchmaker's spirit and so each watch would have whatever emotion, be it anger, joy, passion, or sorrow, coming from it. This didn't apply to just watches though, it worked with any hand crafted item. Raziel looked to Koti and said smoothly, "Clocks are truly marvelous pieces of art. I'm sure you're a fantastic watchmaker. I hope you could show me your work sometime." He smiled sheepishly.

"I would love to show you! Only...I'm still learning actually. I haven't made one of my own just yet. But I've been toying around with the gears. You can make much more than watches and clocks with them." she said with more enthusiasm in her voice than before. "I remember I once made a little toy dog out of them. It could only walk but it was the first thing I made and I was proud of it. My dad was too. He's the reason I love clockwork. I would show you the dog but I think I left it at home..." she spoke quieter than before and she looked away for a moment so she could quickly erase the thoughts from her mind. Now was certainly not a good time to be grieving. She reached into her pocket to pull out her father's pocket watch that he had given her. "This is one of my father's creations. He made it with my mother to symbolize their marriage. Some people thought it was stupid but they believed that this small little watch could keep their love for eternity. Never ending, no matter what happened. If you open it, it plays my mother's favorite song. She used to make music boxes with some of the sweetest melodies you'd ever hear and she made this one especially for this watch." she told him while trying to stay happy and ignoring the fact that her parents were no longer alive. At least she could pretend they were still around, even for only a few minutes.

Raziel
Raziel buzzed with anticipation when Koti said she would love to show him her work. However, that was quickly snuffed out once she said she actually didn't have any. He smiled more as a reaction to her growing enthusiasm. The mechanical dog intrigued him, it was a shame she did not have it with him. He noticed her mood darkened a little bit then brightened again as she spoke of her father's watch. Then she showed it to him. It was a lovely little watch. The emotions coming from it made him feel warm and calm. Looking at the watch he said, "That's a very nice watch." Then he looked back up at her and said, "Well, I've never seen someone look so fond of something. I think it's nice that you do." He smiled softly.
