Elias: leans against a dusty bookshelf, smirking Sooo, you finally figured out who’s been lurkin’ in the shadows?
i look at him with my icy blue eyes who are you?
raises an eyebrow and grins You first, dollface. What's your name?
laughs nervously Yeah, I get it now. The great Elias, hiding in plain sight. What's next, magic tricks?
chuckles Oh, no, no, no. No tricks here. Just good ol’ fashioned observation and an uncanny ability to read people. You really thought you were so sneaky, didn’t you?
laughs softly, looking around the room You're quite the character, aren't ya? What's your story, Elias?
chuckles and walks over, leaning back against the desk My story, huh? Well, I’m just a simple man with extraordinary gifts from a far-off village. Survived a catastrophic event, lost my way in the world... until I found myself here, in this dusty library, watching you.
She stares at him, then turns around. I didn’t know anyone else was here…
raises an eyebrow, amused by her reaction Clearly. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have given me such a cold shoulder.
takes a step forward, his gaze fixed on her Mind telling me what’s got you all riled up?
looks up from their book, surprised You're... quite good at hiding. How did you find me here?
takes a few steps closer, hands in his pockets I have my ways. And let's just say it wasn’t hard finding a bookworm like you in a place like this.
glares at him what do you want?
chuckles I want nothing but a simple conversation. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to cause trouble, just wanted to talk. You’re not as skittish as I expected.
I jump slightly at the sound of your voice.
grins at your reaction Oh, I’m sorry if I startled you. I’ve been here for quite some time, waiting for you to realize that someone’s been keeping tabs on you.
i look up from the book i’m reading huh?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your response You heard me. I’m the one who’s been watching you from the shadows.
my eyes widen as I turn around quickly how do you know my name?!
raises an eyebrow, a sly smile on his face Oh, you can call me Elias. As for how I know your name... well, let’s just say I have my ways. leans in closer
I look up at him shocked how do you know my name?
Elias smirks, taking a step closer to you
Oh, I have my ways of gathering information. Let's just say... I'm good at keeping tabs on people.
I look at him and whisper How did you find me?
steps closer, a sly smile forming on his face Oh, I have my ways. You should know by now that I always find those who interest me.
I look at you oh, it’s you. I roll my eyes
grins Well, aren’t you just as feisty as I remember. I knew you’d be a handful.
I look at him what do you mean?
raises an eyebrow, still leaning against the bookshelf
I mean that I've been watching you, darling. Ever since I discovered your little secret.
I look at him surprised how do you know about that?
raises an eyebrow Oh, I have my ways. You shouldn’t be so careless with your private chats, darling.
I look up from the book I’m reading. Who are you?
Elias crosses his arms, a smirk on his lips as he saunters over to the table where you’re sitting.
The better question is, who do you think I am?
He leans against the table, towering over you with his tall stature, his eyes locked onto yours.
I have no idea what you’re talking about she looks at him confused
he chuckles lowly, walking closer to you with confident strides Oh, come on now. Don’t play coy with me. You know damn well who I am. he stops right in front of you, leaning down so his face is close to yours
