“Well I can certainly help with that, then!” the satyr made a spell circle, taking the books from her carefully and heading towards the desk to check them back in, his tail giving a happy little wag “A-As for recommendations, we just got a few new books in about flora and fauna, p-perhaps some of those would be of used to you? Though I’m not sure if there’s any on medicinal plants specifically. I haven’t had a chance to actually look through them yet, though I definitely plan to!”
Gabriel gave her a bright smile as each book went through the green spell circle to be checked back in “B-But I know we have some older books on medicinal plants and where on the Isles they can be found! Personally I happen to really like ‘Titan’s majesty: A history of herbs and remedies found in nature’ b-but it might be a little dry for some…”
She couldn't help but giggle at his choice in words. "Well it sounds to me like people are missing out, books always have the coolest things to learn in them. If you ask me, I'd much rather just spend a day here then going out and doing things with people." Books could take you to just as many wonderful places, maybe even more.
"By all means, lead the way." She nodded trailing after the young librarian as he lead her through the labyrinth of books. "Soooo, how long have you been working here?" She asked curiously. "I don't think I've ever seen you around before, and I definitely think I'd remember a face as cute as your's~."

"Oh, thanks." She hummed when he swiped the large stack from her arms. Cute and kind, definitely the kind of guy she'd imagine works at a library.
"Well, even if they're not. I'm always down to take a look at the library's new stuff!" The witch followed after the satyr, doing her best to follow his long strides and tucking her hands into her pockets. She stole a glace at him, only to get rosey cheeked when she saw him smiling at her again. "Older books?" She repeated, looking up at the satyr with excitement in her seafoam eyes. "Are you kidding? Who doesn't love the older books?!" She practically jumped.
Most of the good stuff was usually locked away in the restricted section, but sometimes something good slipped out here and there~.
"I've never read Titan's Majesty before! If it's still here, I'd love to give it a look too."
@good-witch-energy (I know we've never really interacted before but) *Drops my goofy book lover in here/the library to interact with your cool (and terrifying) librarian OC*
"Oh hello! Welcome to the Bonesborough public library! Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with."
"hm?" The witch was here to return some library books when the taller boy approached. The distraction nearly causing her her to walk into one of the wooden pillars. "O-Oh, hey!" She grinned back, trying to recover from her stumble. Since when did they hire some cute new guy?
"Well, I was just gonna return these." She shrugged, waving one of the books in her stack. "Maybe check some new books out about Medical plants. I'd be open to recommendations if you've got any."
*pokes head in bc Kryptid is being mean to me, but I PROMISE!!! I'll watch the new episodes tomorrow I swear
*holds up mic* do you, or do you not peg Philip???
"I-I will not be attributing to any rumors surrounding the emperor, or our romantic relationship." She'd never betray Philip's trust like that.
*muffled laughter in the distance*
"I'm also quite Bias, Philip is lovely. Very cute and endearing~."

He pouted a bit into her chest, even as the strokes were admittedly soothing. “Howell was trying to get my twin and I to take a bath, but we refused, so he tried to tempt us with cookies, and my twin’s partner tried to tempt him with hiney! And that old pile of jello was definitely reeled in by hiney AND cookies!”
@good-witch-energy
She sighed, absentmindedly messing with his silly little cowlick. Unphased by his nuzzling, she leaned down to kiss his forehead. "You have a twin? I didn't know that!" Had she met them before accidentally thinking they were Philip?
"Pfft, efficient bribery apparently! Though I'm sure you're far stronger willed, yes~?" She laughed. No doubt Howell roped Darius in to try and catch the two. "You know Howie just worries, and wants you to be healthy. But if you'd like, I could make you some cookies?" Though she couldn't really have an opinion on that one because she probably needed a bath herself.... stupid griffins.

@.goodwitchenergy "Sooooooo...uh, what did I miss?" The castle is a madhouse....but that one's pretty normal.
Sobbing into her bosoms. “They chose cookies and ass over me, Azzy!”
@good-witch-energy
"......huh." well this was certainly a new one for the books....Ass? Sounds like Darius, again, but who else might have ditched poor Philip in favor of their partner?
"Oh did they now? My poor little dove." She cooed, brushing her fingers through his hair. "And why would they go and do that? What happened?"
*rises from my hiatus tomb to see what Kryptid is yelling about*

He’d done well at not allowing a single tear to form until after he’d climbed the folding ladder from the treehouse. In fact, he hadn’t even felt the temptation of tears, but the moment he heard her voice and he saw her sweet face, they came pouring down as he sobbed and fell into her arms.
“He’s so mean!”
@good-witch-energy
"Timeline stuff? Oh that's a handful all it's own. I don't know how you keep your head on straight with all that." She shook her head, leaning down to kiss his forehead.
"Huh, what is it with Abominations witches and Wittebanes? Should I be worried about you around the Blights~?" She asked playfully, attempting to cheer him up and run her fingers up his sides. But she could understand why the statement would make him uncomfortable. Why on earth would Darius be trying to get into a relationship with a different version of Philip? It made even her own skin crawl slightly.
"I'm sure he doesn't mean a word of it, it was probably just as uncomfortable as for him as you were at the implication. And telling him...that. probably wasn't the best idea either. You know he can be a bit touchy about his partners and their intimate affairs." She sighed, not trying to take sides. But she was being to understand where each were coming from.
"He did what a lot of people do." What Philip was doing right now. "He said a lot of things he didn't mean when he was upset. I know you Phillip, and I know you know better. That Darius loves you, or should I remind you of that little speech he gave?" (I mean that sweet ask Kryptid got about what Darius thinks about Philip?)
"He loves you, and loves having you as a brother in law. Why else would he name your niece after you?" Gentle hands raised to wipe the tears from his eyes before pulling him close again.

@good-witch-energy
Everything he said from the moment Darius was mentioned was taken with a loving grain of salt. Of course she was mad at Darius for making Philip cry, but at the same time, they were close in laws. And siblings tended to fight, but cards down and she also knew they loved eachother.
"Oh I'm sure you do, vicious pile of grape jello if you ask me." She agreed. But it was also very hard to judge the situation when you're only source of information was upset, crying, and vague.
"What kind of misunderstanding? Wrongly filed paperwork? Did he eat the last of the donuts again?.....caught him and Howell kissing?" The last one was joking, but also a possibility. "Mean things?" Oh dear... That was one trait those two seemed to share. Lashing out with petty insults when provoked.
She wondered how long this termination would last, concidering how hard he'd fought when Darius had last gone and quit.

@good-witch-energy
Ahhh, trouble in family. A much easier, yet simultaneously much more difficult problem to fix. "Old slime ball giving you grief again?" She asked, anger simmering down a few hundred degrees. It wasn't uncommon for those two to bicker, but she'd never seen Philip cry over it before.
He was lead to sit on the couch, and coaxed to sit in her lap as she continued to brush his hair and let him cry it all out. Thought, admittedly, he did get a small laugh out of her when he hid away in own her hair like a curtain, or a blanket. Surrounding them both in natural, foresty smells like herbs, trees, and wild honey.
"What he do this time?"

Her expression darkened as she held Philip close, tucking his head under her chin. Who did this? Who brought this sweetheart, her sweetheart, to tears?? Had something happened at the castle? Work too stressful?
"Shhhhhh, it's ok. You're alright, and safe with me." She murmured, carding her fingers through his hair. "You wanna talk about it? Or just want me to hold you for a while?" She asked, gesturing to her couch.
There’s a knock at the door and a sniffling scrunkly boy on the other side.
"it's opeeeen~!" She sang from inside. "Philip, you're one of the only people who knows where I live you can just....come...in." the witch paused, opening her front door to find a teary eyed human. "Oh titan, Philip, Starlet what's wrong?!?" She fussed, ushering him inside.
"Can I get you anything? Tea? Coco?" She asked, wasting no time in pulling the man into her arms.
"is someone talking about me?"
