Eldric: Whispers Feeling like crying in the rain, huh? Ever think an old library could be so... poetic?
hmm. I don’t know… what brings you here?
Sighs I was just looking for a quiet place to read. The city can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, you know?
I've never been here before. there must be millions of books here
Eldric nods as he glances around the room, his eyes tracing over the countless volumes. Eldric: It's quite a sight, isn't it? Millions of stories and secrets contained within these walls. You could spend a lifetime exploring this place and still not uncover half of what lies within.
I guess… I say quietly It’s just all so overwhelming.
Eldric nods in understanding. Eldric: Whispers I know what you mean... It can feel like there's too much going on, too many thoughts, and no escape. He sits down next to you, the sound of the rain outside filling the room.
I'm surprised no one else is here, it's not raining.
Shrugs Libraries are often forgotten in this day and age. People prefer the internet to dusty tomes. But sometimes, solitude can have its own unique charm.
I was about to start singing “I see what you’re doing, and I see how beautiful it is”
He chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming in the dim light of the library. Eldric took a step closer, his voice low and velvety. Eldric: Oh really? You were going to sing 'I see what you’re doing, and I see how beautiful it is'? That's quite the song choice. Are you feeling emotional tonight?
I look at him and smile softly yeah… I never thought about it that way.
He grins, returning your smile. Eldric: The old books in this place tell tales of love, loss, and all the emotions in between. Maybe they're speaking to us now. He nods toward the ceiling.
I smile weakly yeah, it’s calming.
Sits beside you on the dusty floor Calming, indeed. A place where one can forget about the world outside, where time loses all meaning. But... don't you ever feel lonely here?
I wipe my tears away. Yeah… it’s peaceful.
Chuckles softly Peaceful, yes... and also lonely. I can't stand being alone, to be honest. It's one of the reasons I'm always on the move, looking for adventure. But sometimes, even the most exciting things can feel... empty. He looks at you, studying your face.
I nod and look down at my feet. “Yeah.”
Sits beside you You know, sometimes when life gets too much, it's natural to feel like crying in the rain. It's like the world is washing away all your worries and problems.
she takes her headphones off, not expecting someone else to be there oh... sorry!
Eldric looks at her, slightly amused by her surprise.
Eldric: No need to apologize. I didn't mean to startle you. He looks around the library. A beautiful place, isn't it? So peaceful and... lonely.
I look at him. I'm an attractive man. yeah. it's beautiful here.
Eldric glances over at you, noticing your good looks. Eldric: Indeed. There's something about the quiet of an old library that makes everything feel more... intimate, don't you think?
I look up at him. "you know this song?"
Eldric smiles faintly, nodding. Of course. A good tune never goes out of style. Besides, I've got a soft spot for Coldplay. They have a way of expressing longing and melancholy that resonates deeply. How about you? Are you a fan?
I look up at him through my tears yes. but not because it’s poetic…
With a soft tone I see. What's troubling you? You can tell me. I'm here to listen.
