He found it amusing, certainly. That despite their break up. She did still take his offer for friendship still. She still did make herself at home in the library. Tancred had watched her from time to time, almost seem to act as if what happened, hadn't happened. But it had. She had hurt him, she had pushed him from her.

Hearing her question then, he adjusted some books on the shelf "Somewhat. But not for the reason you might imagine." He commented, though he didn't really know how to explain what he was so amused about "It's just…are you sure that's what you really want in your life?" Because it seemed like a passing phase. But that was just his perspective. Tancred exhaled "Oh my life would definitely be a tragedy. It ends horrible and bloody, I'm sure." He nodded, confident in what he's just said, sure that it was destined to happen. As his life had started that way, and nothing much had changed, despite his changing.

Her apology was met with a shrug, making Eira wonder if Tancred hadn’t been that upset with her in the first place or if he just hadn’t accepted her apology. His following words led her to believe it was the former though and her shoulders relaxed some. She nodded with a small reassuring smile in response to his own apology as well as a quiet, “It’s alright.” His apparent reflex had frightened her enough though to note that she make sure he was well aware of her presence before approaching him like that again.

A grin played at her lips as Tancred talked about tattoos he could have gotten while drunk and she laughed a little herself along with him. Her eyes lingered on the scars though as he talked, watching them move with every word. Eira had rarely ever seen those either. She tried not to stare though. The last thing she wanted was to offend him after walking in on him like this already.

“Part angel,” she repeated with a raised brow. “Are you sure it wasn’t just a way to compliment you?” The woman hadn’t taken him all that seriously, finding the idea of angels, while a sweet sentiment, untrue. “It’s a birthmark of sorts then? You’re lucky. I had these weird bruise looking things. They went away after a while though. Yours is pretty.” Even if the woman hadn’t believed it, she entertained the thought for a moment.

.

Tancred had not been so comfortable with these sort of things. Not since he had been violated and tortured against his will, held captive and brutalized. Being touched by surprise had certainly been uncomfortable for him. The skin felt tender where he had been most brutalized at. Clearly discolored even. Though when he fell into a bit of a ramble about tattoos and made her laugh a brief smile spread over his lips.

Though it had suddenly been gone in the next moment as he silently thought for a moment about other tattoos. It didn’t seem so important. Nothing he could get would ever look good enough to hide what most people would notice first, the ends of his fingers discolored by detachment for so long.  His jaw had been the same. With her repeating his being an angel he looked to her once more and gave a nod “Yup...” Though frowned at her doubt.

“I’m fairly certain, Eira.” Tancred gave another shrug. She didn’t need to believe in such things, he guessed. He wasn’t going to show off to her. One day she would see, or maybe she wouldn’t, he supposed. Right at that moment he had no idea how to access this part of him. With her question on the markings being birthmarks he huffed “Sure they are.” Tancred blinked, then.

“Some could say that I am lucky, true.” Though he couldn’t say he felt lucky a lot of the time. Being as his life had started in tragedy, and had been a very angsty one since then. He was fairly certain he was going to die with tragedy.  As Eira finished inhaled and turned his head away “Pretty. Hmm. I guess.” He rest his head in his left hand then “You don’t believe in magic, or supernatural creatures, huh?” He asked to confirm the idea. But some part of her had to have known, she had been in his magical library. She had to have clearly seen there was not something normal about a library that just walked around on it’s own “My being an angel is too far of a stretch for you?”

It’d been rough finding somewhere to stay so suddenly but she’d managed to travel between couches. Eira had gotten a new job out of it too since luckily her friend’s work was in desperate need of extra hands. The dog cafe was still relatively new and still making its way into popularity, plus all the dogs they’d accumulated in hopes of future profit had become overwhelming for their small staff. It wasn’t really enough to get her own place but she was still looking at what she could double up with. Her applications to the flower shop, grocery store, and one of the local restaurants were still being processed so mostly it was waiting or continuing her search.

She was going out to lunch since it was her one day she let herself eat out for the week when someone caught her attention. Turning, eyebrows furrowed as she tried to think of who might be stopping her, her eyes set themselves on the sight of Tancred. They widened out of sheer shock, not only that she’d come upon him but that he’d even come up to her after what happened.

Eira was at a loss for words as she listened to him ask her these questions and something about a dog. His last question made her frown though. “Well I think that’s what happens when you break up with someone. Was I supposed to call you up to hang out?” She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. “What would you want to talk to me for anyway?” After all, she’d been rather awful to him last they spoke.

.

"It's been months, Eira. Since we broke up. We are still friends. Or did you just think we weren't anymore?" Tancred asked. Sighing then, he rolled his eyes and looked away "I swear, you watch way too many cheesy dramas. You really believe that just because you broke us up that we can't be friends anymore? That's--" It sounded really inane. What person would literally do that. Sure, if they hadn't known one another. Hell, if she had broken up with him by stabbing him or otherwise attempting to rid herself of him in some vile way. Maybe he would be in the right to let her go.

But she was obviously just breaking up with him to push him away and Tancred was not that dumb, he had not played into her little game. He was going to be damned if he ever did. So he waited a few months. Gave her her space. It was only by chance that he would see her on the street. This very street, in fact. He turned his attention back to her then "Silly. So silly. I don't think you understand how this works. We still have to see each other, you know. I'm friends with Jace, and Oliver. Two people you know." Tancred pointed out before looking her over as she was standing with her arms crossed.

"In case you didn't realize Eira, this isn't a phone call. This is real life. I'm standing right here. You aren't the popular girl in school. You can't just pretend I don't exist, when I'm literally standing in front of you. Don't you think that's a bit silly? We have history." At her question though he gave a shrug "Anything, I guess. What have you been doing? You find a place, or you sleeping at friends' places?" He asked, it was probably none of his business, but he was curious. After all, she had broken up with him, for attention from him. He hadn't broken up with her, he was just living with it. So now she had his attention, and she didn't want it? It was very confusing “Are you sure you’re alright Eira?”

'Take over the library' he says. ' It'll be fun. " he says.  " A lot of people enjoy libraries these days.' he lies.  ' You are the only one that can take over, there are no others, Tancred!' he dies.

Man i'm bored.

Where the hell did you come from!? ( Jovan, Jace, Tancred)

A Blond stands in a doorway staring at two intruders in his library " This is not the door you should have entered through. " He makes a face " You! with the dog. Shut that mutt up. " He grins then and walks over to Jovan, not much shorter than himself. His ice cold eyes falling over him, than the other " Ahh, Oh dear.  Looks like we've got more then just a few trespassers.  "  Looking around Tancred turned suddenly and waved a hand for them to follow him " This way boys. "
