Today, Lissa decided it was a good idea to go to the library. Why? Well she wanted to see what the books in this school could teach her! Or maybe shes just find something interesting and learn more about it. There was only so much to do in this school that would keep her entertained. Now, On to hit the books!

She took a look around and noticed a huge stack of books, almost like a small fort. Guess someone might be inside. Lissa decided to try and be as quiet as she could and went off to look for a book to read. She scanned the shelves and looked for something that was appealing to her eyes. It was tiring but eventually gave in to her curiosity and tried to take a book from the small fort, but a hand came over and stopped her. She let out a small gasp. "I-I’m sorry!" Lissa let go of the book and let the hand put it back where she got it from. Then a small head popped out of the fort and looked at her with sleepy eyes. She looked long and hard at the face before saying her name. "Lissa…It’s Lissa.."

"Oh--" 

Once the book was released, rather than put it back, Ricken held it to his form as he stared right back at the culprit. Oh shoot.. That was probably rude of him.. After all, he still had a number of books to read before he got to this one... So he could easily just give it to her to read, right? It'd be something any gentleman would do. Except..

".. N-No, don't apologize.. It's alright! I mean, you didn't know.."

He still needed the book.. Didn't seem like he'd just give it up. A childish tendency to try keeping what, for the time being, was his. At least until he was actually done with it. 

Smooth...

"Lissa, huh? My name's Ricken... Um.. What room are you in? I'll finish with it as fast as I can and deliver it right to you, alright..? Sorry.."

"…Nevermind."

Phi could get along with anyone, so long as they weren’t irritating or plotting against her. Usually it was a case of whether they liked her and not the other way around, since her aloof nature tended to be…off-putting.

"Yeah, sure. If you just got here that means we’re in the same boat."

[lichtstarken]

"Oh. Alright.."

Well, it isn't like Ricken to just go around plotting against people he's just met..! Especially if they might get have a chance of getting along.. As of right now, there was no reason for Ricken to really be suspicious of Phi.. Ah, he was a little suspicious but-- If there was even the slightest chance of making an ally.. Or rather.. A friend? Then Ricken would take the chance. Just for now. Even then, he'd have to keep his guard up. 

This was a place of mutual killing, after all.

"Yeah.. I guess we are..!"

Rooming with a girl though.. Ah, that made him a little nervous.

so i made ricken a twitter thing for monotwitter but.... 

i honestly have no idea how to go about using it...

[platinumstardust]

"Not without looking ridiculous."

[lichtstarken]

"O.. Oh."

Harsh...

"Well, I guess that isn't an option then.. Thanks..?"

Books. Never in his life had they ever been his thing. Sure, during the past he’d read them from time to time, but never had he really done it when desired to. At least, not that he could remember. Maybe when he needed to look something up or find the answer to a thing that wasn’t exactly on the internet (not that he even used that), he cracked open some pages and looked them over..but..hmm. His memory was too foggy to remember. So foggy, that he wasn’t even sure why he was reaching out for a book in the first place, much less where he was or what was going on. Either way— he’d done it, someone had piped up, and now he was facing the consequence of wondering where the hell they’d come from and who they were.

"What?" His tone, shocked and a bit confused, wavered over itself as he drew his hand back; unsure about what in God’s name was going on. From what he’d seen, no one had been around. He’d come into the room alone, made sure that no one had been there, and he’d reached for a book. Where in the hell this kid popped from, he couldn’t say he knew, or could really even figure out. Surely if the guy had been in here the whole time, he would have noticed..right?  "Where.." Hesitation cracked his voice. "Where..did you come from?"

[lichtstarken]

The good news was.. He got his book back. Smiling a bit as he brought it towards himself to flip through, Ricken couldn't help but pause and look back up at the man. 

"... I..--"

He stared at the other in disbelief, pushing his seat back to stand up and look around. True.. He was barely peering over a stack of books he had and while he was sitting it'd be harder to see him but... He still couldn't help but be mildly offended. Clutching the book to his chest now, Ricken adjusted his hat a bit before giving Rick a bit of a frustrated glance. 

".. I've been here the whole time, y'know.. I don't know how you didn't see me, I mean.."

Wasn't the odd stack of books enough of a hint? Apparently not.. If only he were a bit taller then maybe he would have been a little more noticeable. Growing embarrassed and even a bit flustered for what could only be a silly reason, Ricken huffed before offering the book back to the obviously taller and more noticeable person.

"Just.. Nevermind. Take it if you need it then."

[lichtstarken]

"... M.. Maybe if I.. Wear my hat a bit differently..."

".. Will I look taller..?"

Once in awhile, Ricken found himself surrounded in books.. Whether it was because he didn’t understand a certain spell or grew curious about a subject, he’d spend some time indulging in a book or two.

And there were times he got a little carried away.

On a single table there were stacks of books and behind those stacks was a young mage. Well, it was hard to spot him at first glance so when someone reached to take one of the books, they’d first notice the tip of his hat moving before he reached over and placed his hand over the book. 

"H-Hey.. Sorry, I’m still using that."

Not letting go of the book in question, Ricken rubbed his eye sleepily. 

"I’ll give it to you later, if you want..?" If he ever caught up with what he was reading at the moment. "Just tell me your name and I’ll even bring it to you.."
