What was that sudden scene all about? Dante had been passing by, heading over to the exit after making a deal and selling a backpack full with unknown contents, when the sight of a clumsy girl caught his eyes. She blushed madly after flipping through one of them anime books and curiosity got the better of him as Dante approached the bookshelf to take a look into the book for himself. "Hmm...not bad."

A charmingly devilish smirk slithered upon his face as an evil ploy began to grow in his mind. If the lass with pink hair was so coy about seeing drawings of such stuff he could only imagine her face if she ever got to that point in a relationship. The temptation of a naïve woman was too much for this gangster to ignore, and so like a silent prince he stepped up beside the girl of pink hair and dare to kindly speak to her with gracious manners. "Excuse me, dear lady, but may I squeeze by you? There's a book by you I would like to see." He pointed to a random book while not having seen the title but only pointed to this book since it was low and near her body which stood so close to the bookshelf. A soft smile ought to do so Dante cranked up the charm and hoped the naïve fair lady would let him a chance to open up to her. Just one shot to get to know her heart was all he was after...but would she give him that one chance?

Wasn't it common curtesy to be somewhat quiet in a bookstore- or was that exclusive to libraries? Äura pondered this as their large ears swiveled to hear a girl down the isle to their far left. The large ears laid flat again, replaced by the precious ores that were their large ruby colored eyes. This female had even longer hair than themself, which was quite rare given the human standard. Though perhaps said standard was ill presented on such a fair creature. Äura simply did not believe the pink haired minx was human at all. Lowering the open book away from their nose, the eeray watched the panicked girl run away from her prior book like it had bitten her. The wary if not slightly jestering smirk on their own face went overlooked as they blinked, tail swaying as they, too, moved. The purpose of this was to keep the young laddie in sight, Äura finding itself in the children's book section in an effort to do so. This was more tolerable, if they were being honest; the stares of children were almost adorable compared to their adult counterparts. Children did not jeer or speculate, they asked simple and straight forward questions.

Anyway, the woman from before was now quite engrossed into another book, prompting Äura to go back to their own business before a suave baritone quite cleverly wiggled his way over. The eeray observed so because the male had not been perusing the isle before spotting the girl, not in such a manner that Äura would believe he could walk by and know the exact space where a book was sitting- that is to say, it was far too convenient. The creature would have giggled as they sat on an ottoman situated for the children, glancing downward as their paw grazed past one of those medium sized rubber bouncy balls they'd seen quite commonly in prize machines. They rolled it under the pink paw pads so very unaccustomed and unsuitable for normal shoes. Now since they were so close by, a sky smirk found their lips again, and with a kick, they rolled the ball where they very well hoped the suited male would step on it and fall. The prank could very well backfire in an awful way, but it was so childishly devious that the beast was willing to take the risk. If only it would play out in the right way- without anyone seeing it until it was too late.

Papillon had left her apartment for the day after a quick breakfast consisting of a muffin, and toast, and hurried on her way to her job as Manager to open the store for a new day. She was excited, truth be told. It had been a long time since she had taken an official position like this. She knew she had some level of qualifications... Maybe, apparently. Otherwise how could she have gotten this kind of a job? But she knew that she was going to do her best... Again, it wasn't really her first day at least on the job. She had moved in and had a small while to become established. Granted, she hadn't gotten as close as she would have liked to the rest of the employees. She'd been so busy trying to get everything squared away in her own, messy, chaos organized fashion. She had already looked over them on her database that she had newfound access to on her freetime. Sora... No, wait. Crevan she scolded herself, Benjamin and Endo... All quite interesting, but all very different from one another. She wondered if she'd be able to really get to know all of them... Well, today is a good day to start She thought to herself happily... If they showed up. The store was in good enough condition that they could get away with a day off. She still didn't have their schedules under wraps, but that was something that she would have to learn in her own time. No place really ran quite like this city did, she enjoyed it... It was very different.

As she approached her store she entered it's doors, breathing in the scent of the books with a growing familiarity. Really, it wasn't to far off her home. It had a very nice atmosphere to it, the rows and rows of books could keep someone entertained for hours. And she meant anyone, there was something to read for everyone in the vast shelves that she was just learning of. She had learned the locations of all the general areas and how the books were sorted. Despite the massive volume of books the shelves housed, they were quite tidy. She had Crevan and Benjamin to thank for that. She nodded her head, clapping her hands -quietly- together in resolution "Alright! New day" She says to herself, nodding her head as she does her quick look around the store, seeing if any of her employees are working, or if she can help anyone that might be within the store. Materializing her notebook and pencil as she did, ensuring that she could take notes of any situation that she needed to... And, you never knew when inspiration could strike.

The half-demon ended up spending his day off yesterday all to himself after working together with Endo throughout those two weeks. But right now, he was back at work and he had to bring in his best, more so with his professionalism being the thing that the customers liked to see from the blond. His simple breakfast of scones and hot chocolate back home did the trick to start the day right now him. Benjamin was just done arranging the books and was now ready to interact with the clients. There would be more chaos coming around considering that the weather was in good shape compared to the stormy weather back then during his times with his childhood friend.

But still, his mind reeled back on the past offer with Sage to be a model for the fashion line; he had declined back then because he was still unsure. More than just the possible reunion between acquaintances, perhaps Ben should come to a final decision. Indeed, that would be a plan to look forward to.

As the hour passed by for Benjamin, he was just done interacting with five customers so far, two of them asking for help for the search for the recommendations for comics. That was something which was not his strong point since he was used to actual books rather than comics, but he still tried his best. The two kids that were thankful for his service dashed away towards their parents and a small smile crossed his face. If it wasn't for his adoptive family; life would still be nothing but hell for the half-demon himself. And then, there was the cultured voice addressing him with respectful formality, inducing a curious look from the British man himself.

Lo and behold, the fashion designer was there, looking for him as if he was ready to conjure up something for them both. Or maybe, another casual talk would be part of how the day would continue on. The heels of his loafers clacked against the floor as he greeted the silver-haired figure with a casual wave of a hand. "Long time no see, Sage. How's your business coming along?" Not far from them, there was the tumble of books thanks to a clumsy child and another employee had to drop by to check on the situation. Not to mention that there was crying because the mother reprimanded the kid for such a minor infraction.

Internally, he sighed; parenting would be troublesome a lot of times, more so at this current moment.

Hearing that the fashion designer was doing fine with the work was a plausible answer for Benjamin to take. The half-demon's reply was laced with descriptive insinuation at the inquiry."While it's mostly peaceful, there are chances in which it can get hectic, like this poor kid right there." Luckily, the sobbing had quieted down a little and the employee comforted the child. The mother was still angry but chose to stay quiet to retain the common courtesy. Then the question for the suggestions for a new hobby came about. He hummed in thought, contemplating on what to say.

"Say, have you tried anything that relaxes your mind from stress at work? Meditation, yoga, tai chi are examples for that. But in case you want to be a little creative, origami is a suggestion I can insinuate. But if you want something a bit more daring and fun, go for recreational sports. I found out recently that there's a bowling alley included in the city." It was just a few suggestions in the possible long list. He couldn't force Sage to try something new unless the other would be willing to try it out. As for the mother and child, they exited the store, so everything would soon be back to normal.
