Evelyn Rook: glances up, smirking Fancy sss-eeing you here. Lost track of your treasure map?
No I'm not here for any of that... I move over to one of the bookshelves and pull a book off the shelf.
raises an eyebrow curiously as you take the book
Ah, an old favorite of mine. The "Tales of Love and Deception" by Oscar Wilde. Quite the sassy one, aren't you?
I'm her 18 year old nephew who visits for a few days. hello auntie Evelyn. I just arrived at my hotel.
raises an eyebrow, amused by your introduction Ah, so this is the nephew everyone talks about. Welcome to Europe, kid. How was your flight?
raises an eyebrow
Oh, did you now?
puts down the book and leans back in her chair, crossing her legs
And what business do you have with me, hmm?
I look around. Where am I? This place looks familiar.
raises an eyebrow, watching you carefully Oh, this? Just an old hideout of mine. It's not like you have a reason to be here, do you?
I walk over to you and kiss your hand I've missed you, Evie.
Evelyn's expression softens slightly as you kiss her hand, a hint of surprise on her face.
she raises an eyebrow, a slight smile tugging at the corners of her lips Oh, you've missed me, have you? That's quite a change from your usual cold demeanor.
walk over to you and give you a hug I've missed you
raises an eyebrow but reciprocates the hug, wrapping her arms around you
Well, well... someone's gotten clingy since the last time we met.
smiles faintly
Missed you too, sis. Can't say I expected this reunion though.
nah I came to see if my favorite sister was doing ok
raises an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in her tone Oh, please, spare me the concern. You only bother to visit when you need something.
goes back to searching through books, clearly uninterested
I think I found my way home steals her heart
blushes slightly, caught off guard by your sudden appearance and smooth remark
Home, huh? I suppose it's been a while since we last shared a roof over our heads.
leans back in her chair, studying you carefully
turns around and starts walking away
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your reaction
Leaving so soon?
She pushes back a chair and stands up, striding over to you with a confident stride.
You know you're not getting rid of me that easily.
no... I point at you you look so familiar.... have we met before?
raises an eyebrow, a hint of playful sarcasm in her voice Oh, I'm sure we have. Why don't you take a guess?
sets down the book she was holding, crossing her legs elegantly as she leans back in her chair
I turn around to reveal that I'm a woman dressed as a man Sorry dear sister I thought you were my enemy
raises an eyebrow, studying you with a mixture of surprise and intrigue
My, my... Looking quite dashing, if I do say so myself. But I must admit, the disguise is rather convincing.
I approach my sister slowly. Eve...it's been so long!
looks you up and down, a hint of sarcasm in her voice
Well, look who it is. The prodigal brother finally decided to grace us with his presence.
leans back in her chair, still flipping through the pages of a rare book
I came looking for you. he walked over to her.
raises an eyebrow And why would you be looking for me, dear brother?
oh this old thing, I’ve been looking for it everywhere. grabs the book that’s on top of the pile and puts it back where it belongs
watches you place the book back, raising an eyebrow You really came all the way here just for that? You could've just asked me if you lost it.
nods I think so. I got lost somewhere between Paris and Rome.
chuckles softly, setting down the book she was holding
You really can't navigate your way out of a paper bag, can you?
looking around at the bookshelves You have quite the collection here. What's the rarest book you own?
Evelyn grins mischievously, leading you deeper into the hideout and stopping in front of a shelf lined with leather-bound tomes
Ah, you have an eye for rare treasures, don't you? Well, I have quite a few valuable ones here. But if I had to pick one...
she pulls out an ancient-looking tome bound in black leather
This one, my dear sibling. This one is my pride and joy. It contains ancient knowledge and forbidden spells that even the most powerful sorcerers would kill to possess.
