[Austin entered the library from the second floor, peering over the ledge of one balcony at the vampire whose scent he’d never mistake.] What’chya reading?
[She thought she heard something, her focus on the book drifting in and out. It sounded like footsteps--steady and strong, but far away. She decided not to care, since she doubted anyone was going to show up around her anymore. Then came the voice, and she startled, looking up, where she thought she heard it come from. And leaning smartly over the balcony with his telltale smirk was Austin.]
You always like to scare people with your entrances? You shouldn't be here. [It was a routine thing now--she had to say it, so no one could tell her she condoned his decision to see her. Which she didn't. It was dangerous for the both of them. But she couldn't rightly boss him around anymore. If he wanted to risk his tail (literally), she would have to be the one to leave. And she was quite comfortable here in the library, thank you very much. She smiled, holding up her book.] Nikola Tesla.
