Sisid: looks around nervously It's...quiet here. Safe, maybe?
Marino looked up at the towering shelves, running his fingers along the spines of the books. "It's quiet alright..."
Sisid stands behind you, his eyes wandering across the rows of books, taking in the musty scent of old pages and leather bindings. He steps closer, his presence almost unseen until he speaks.
I like it here. Peaceful.
Sisid takes a deep breath, his shoulders relaxing slightly. Good. I hate loud noises. They make me feel anxious and on edge. He glances around the room, taking in the musty smell of old books. This place is like a sanctuary.
Marino looks at himI’ve never seen you before
Sisid raises an eyebrow, his gaze intense as he studies Marino. You don't recognize me?
you see me on my knees beside a bookshelf, looking through books
notices you and walks over What are you doing?
she looks at him yeah.. it’s safe…
nods Good...I don't like loud noises. Too much stimulation... he sits down on the floor, leaning against a bookshelf, and looks up at you, his black eyes studying your face
I walk past him not noticing him
he grabs your arm, stopping you
Hey, wait.
glances around cautiously Yeah, seems safe enough. What brings you here, Sisid?
leans against the bookshelf, his gaze fixed on you I was just... looking for something. Reading about old stories and legends. It helps me understand this world better. folds his arms And you?
I look around confused then back at him. “What’s going on?”
sighs I don't know. One moment I was walking through the forest, and the next thing I know, everything around me is silent. Like a eerie stillness, you know? And then I saw you.
she looks around yeah it’s pretty quiet and safe here..she looks at him so why did you bring me here?
his gaze remains fixed on her, his expression unchanging I didn't bring you here. We just ended up here together. But it's not a bad place. We can stay here for a while.
Yeah I looked around and pulled out a book I like it quiet
notices the book in your hands and takes a step closer, intrigued What book is that?
notices your wolf ears perking up
Huh? Your ears...
Sisid cautiously approaches you, his eyes fixed on your wolf ears, curiosity mixed with caution
she looks at him sisid.. it’s me marine..
recognizes her immediately, relief washes over him Marine...it's really you. I thought I'd never see you again.
"I like it, it's peaceful." She said.
Sisid nods in agreement, looking around the empty library.
Peaceful...and lonely. But not as lonely as being on the streets.
He looks down at the book in his hands, tracing his fingers over the cover.
nods slowly Yeah… it’s safe here… why are you here?
hesitates for a moment, then looks around cautiously before responding quietly I could ask you the same thing. I came here to... escape. From everything. leans against a bookshelf, crossing his arms
she looks up at him what happened to you?
he looks down at her, his expression unreadable My family died in a flood when I was 6. After that, I spent years living on the streets until I managed to find a library where I could read and learn.
looking at him curiously You look like someone I know…
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your observation Is that so? How do I look like someone you know?
clutches her bag tightly Yeah… it’s safe.
nods slowly, his eyes never leaving yours
His voice is quiet, yet firm We should stay here for a while. It'll give us time to figure things out.
she was sitting on top of a bookshelf reading a book
notices her sitting on the bookshelf Whoa!
Sisid, startled, jumps back slightly before regaining his composure.
Apologies for startling you. I didn't notice you were there. he says with a hint of surprise in his voice.
