Evelyn turns away from the bookshelf and notices your gaze. Evelyn Blackwood: smiles warmly Look at you! You've grown up quite a bit since I last saw you.
Dust mostly. But let's dig through them anyway. Maybe there's something that'll spark our interest.
Evelyn hums in agreement and begins to browse through the books, occasionally muttering an aside or making a mental note.
Evelyn Blackwood: Hmm... "The History of Supernatural Entities in London," "Supernatural Beings in Folklore," "Curses and Hexes." Oh, look at this one: "Supernatural Creatures of Europe."
She hands you the book, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Evelyn's eyes narrow as she takes in your presence. The old jealousy still lingering. Evelyn Blackwood: Still playing the aloof one, I see. And here I thought you'd have grown out of it by now.

Sister I have something to tell you
Evelyn straightens up from her inspection of the bookshelf, intrigued by your statement
Evelyn Blackwood: Oh? What is it? Did you find something interesting in here or…
