Fell's Rare Books

Er... I'm not exactly certain what I should be writing here. Ah, well... My name is Ezra Fell and I run this bookshop. Ah... Please... Please don't touch the books. ((Blog for Aziraphowl in the Slivered Mirror RP.))

A snowy owl with bright blue eyes lands on a nearby fencepost.

Adam came to a stop as he walked down the deserted road. He looked around before focusing on the owl itself. “You’re a little far off from where you should be.” He smiled though. “You’re pretty though. So…are you here to deliver a letter or something?” 

[manicuredangel]

  He stared at him for a long moment before he let out a hooted chuckle.  ”I don’t know if I could handle guardianship.  Human lives are just too ephemeral to get that involved with them individually.”

[princeoftadfield]

"Uh, well…" he paused for a minute at that. "They’re short, yea, but I bet it doesn’t mean they’re not worth being around. You could find someone who has a lot to do. You don’t really have a lot to lose by doing it, right?"

[manicuredangel]

"I didn't say they aren't worth being around I just..."  He looked down, wings sagging slightly.  "I can't let myself get too attached."

Of course Adam didn't know about his previous relationship with a human.  How could he?  But that unfinished business still weighed heavily on his soul.  He had intended to break it off anyway, but now he couldn't.

[princeoftadfield]

"Hm. I guess that would be a bit difficult, right? It’s kind of an exclusive club for immortals." He figured immortals could have mortal friends, but it would be a….short friendship. 

[manicuredangel]

"Unfortunately so.  I’m just a third wheel in this world.  It’s a bit disheartening."  He shifted and stretched out his wings slowly before settling them on his back again.

[princeoftadfield]

Adam frowned. “Well, you could always take this as a chance to start anew.” he suggested. “You could be someones….guardian owl?”

[manicuredangel]

He stared at him for a long moment before he let out a hooted chuckle.  "I don't know if I could handle guardianship.  Human lives are just too ephemeral to get that involved with them individually."

[princeoftadfield]

Adam stifled a laugh. “So, you basically do what you usually do as an angel, except in an owl’s body.” He shrugged, crossing one leg over the other. “I guess that’s one way to spend your time.”

[manicuredangel]

"I suppose I should start looking for a regular companion again as well…"  Not that he had ever actively looked, but He did feel the need to fill that empty hole of his lover and his friends.

[princeoftadfield]

  "Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind." He figured that if Aziraphale came all the way out here to visit the Antichrist because he was lonely, then things were probably not entirely right for the angel. How did you go about making new friends when you were an angel? Or a demon? "What exactly do you do as an owl? Just fly around and pick up mice?" 

[manicuredangel]

His eyes snapped open at the suggestion and he shuddered.  ”Heavens no.  I wouldn’t hunt a living creature lke that.  I mostly roost in the rafters of my shop and read and have tea and go out flying.”

[princeoftadfield]

"Right, just with a few extra feathers than usual." Adam brought his hand up to pat the owl on it’s head. "Well, you’re always welcome to come by my house and read my books whenever you’re feeling lonely. It may take a bit for Dog to get use to you though."

[manicuredangel]

"And you are also welcome to come to my shop if ever you’re in London."  He nuzzled into the pats, his eyes closed.  If he were being completely honest with himself, he would have to admit that he never knew lonliness like this.  It was growing more and more insistent on his mind, gnawing at his confidence.  And it seemed clear to him that this was his own fault, going away for so long.  Of course his loved ones would disappear off to other worlds.  They didn’t have time to wait for him.

[princeoftadfield]

Adam smiled. Placing his bag beside the fence, the young man came up to sit next to the owl on top of the fence. “A lonely owl? That just sounds sad.”  He looked the other over. “Do you still like books like your human-ish self?” 

[manicuredangel]

"I have a bookshop in Soho if that answers your question."  He looked up at him.  "I’m still the same angel, you know."

[princeoftadfield]

"Right, just with a few extra feathers than usual." Adam brought his hand up to pat the owl on it’s head. "Well, you’re always welcome to come by my house and read my books whenever you’re feeling lonely. It may take a bit for Dog to get use to you though."

[princeoftadfield]

  "Well, we’re similar there."  Adam said, smiling a bit as it seemed the owl enjoyed the petting. "So…just came in to check up on me or something?"

[manicuredangel]

"I suppose.  There really aren’t very many familiar being to me here.  Perhaps I’m just feeling lonesome."

[princeoftadfield]

Adam smiled. Placing his bag beside the fence, the young man came up to sit next to the owl on top of the fence. “A lonely owl? That just sounds sad.”  He looked the other over. “Do you still like books like your human-ish self?”

[princeoftadfield]

"Hm. That’s adorable. Is the Adam Young in your world still a human or can he turn into a dog?" Adam asked, with a joking grin. When the other gave him permission, he reached out and lightly traced his fingers down the owls side. 

[manicuredangel]

"I suppose he could if he felt like it, but he’s always thought himself as human and I don’t think he’s really tried."  He shifted slightly under the gentle touch.

[princeoftadfield]

[manicuredangel]

  "Well…  In this world there’s just me, I’m afraid.  Crawly seems to have disappeared.  But back in our home universe all the angels and demons tended to have and prefer an animal shape as opposed to a human one."

He looked up at the young man and cockd his head.  ”If you like.”

[princeoftadfield]

"Hm. That’s adorable. Is the Adam Young in your world still a human or can he turn into a dog?" Adam asked, with a joking grin. When the other gave him permission, he reached out and lightly traced his fingers down the owls side.

A snowy owl with bright blue eyes glides past and lands on a nearby low hanging branch.

[Side-eyes the bird. Hedwig, is that you? But no, he recognizes this aura.]

That’s a new look for you, Angel.

[manicuredangel]

  We are friends.  But that is the extent of it.

[ineffablyinfernal]

Alright, alright, alright. Don’t get your feathers in a ruffle.

[manicuredangel]

He was never interested in me like that.  Besides, he's run off to some other universe with his two lovers.  I don't think I'll ever understand it.

[princeoftadfield]

"Right, because he was the snake from the story, right?" Adam stepped closer to the owl. "So you both sometimes feel like hanging around like animals?" 

[manicuredangel]

"Primarily we do, yes.  We have since The Beginning."  He cocked his head slightly.

[princeoftadfield]

"So, does that mean there’s a whole menagerie of you guys in Heaven and Hell?" he asked. He leaned forward slightly, but still allowed the owl some space. "….can I pet you?"

[manicuredangel]

"Well...  In this world there's just me, I'm afraid.  Crawly seems to have disappeared.  But back in our home universe all the angels and demons tended to have and prefer an animal shape as opposed to a human one."

[princeoftadfield]

  "Oh so this is one of those situations." Adam said. This could get confusing sometimes. "So, wait….you’re an owl in that universe? Aren’t you suppose to be an angel?" 

[manicuredangel]

"I am an angel!  I just normally look like this.  I’m only sometimes human-shaped.  Crawly usually flitted about in his snake shape too."

[princeoftadfield]

"Right, because he was the snake from the story, right?" Adam stepped closer to the owl. "So you both sometimes feel like hanging around like animals?"

[princeoftadfield]

"I guess it’s just the similar name them." The young man shrugged. He readjusted his bag’s strap and looked the owl over. "Well, it’s nice to meet you, Aziraphale. My name is Adam Young." 

[manicuredangel]

"Of course you’re Adam Young.  I wouldn’t be so addled as to open my beak to just anyone, you know."  He shifted his wings on his back.  "There was one of you in my universe, after all."

[princeoftadfield]

"Oh so this is one of those situations." Adam said. This could get confusing sometimes. "So, wait….you’re an owl in that universe? Aren’t you suppose to be an angel?"

[princeoftadfield]

A grin spread across Adam’s face. “Aziraphale? Don’t I know you? Or is this another one of those differing universe things? I don’t remember you being an owl.” 

[manicuredangel]

"Oh I don’t think I’ve met you in particular before.  You would know I am an owl if we’d met in the past."  He hopped a little closer on the fence.

[princeoftadfield]

"I guess it’s just the similar name them." The young man shrugged. He readjusted his bag’s strap and looked the owl over. "Well, it’s nice to meet you, Aziraphale. My name is Adam Young."

[princeoftadfield]

Adam blinked, silent for a moment. “Of course you talk.” He said, making another check to make sure no one was around. “Sorry, I’ve never met an owl before. Should I know who you are?” He wracked his brain for what little knowledge he had on religion. Considering his situation, he probably should have read the Bible more than his resounding times of never. 

[manicuredangel]

"Ah, er…"  He ruffled his feathers again bashfully.  "I’m sorry, I forget how few people are aware of me.  I’m Aziraphale."

[princeoftadfield]

A grin spread across Adam’s face. “Aziraphale? Don’t I know you? Or is this another one of those differing universe things? I don’t remember you being an owl.”

[manicuredangel]

The bird sighed the long-suffering sigh of someone who has heard that joke far too many times in their life.  His feathers ruffled.  ”Hardly, dear boy.”
