Downtown was a maze to some, but Duncan still loved it, despite pollution and traffic and all of that. It held his two favorite places. The theatre and the book stores. Today, he had his mind set on exploring a new store, set back in an old classical styled building, the windows streaked with dust, the true was much the same for the interior, but the lack of clean air didn't bother him. It smelled like old leather, memories, knowledge. This was what a book store was supposed to smell like, not those new places that smelled like cleaning supplies, no. Normally, he would have prefered to spend the day at the theatre, he did more acting than reading these days, having memorized a good deal of the classics. But there was a production going on, some modern adaption that he wanted no part of, and so, he simply nodded hello to the clerk and settled into one of worn leather chairs along the back wall to memorize a few monologues.

Iasc was one of these girls. The type that you wouldn't think would be able to read, or wouldn't be intereted in it anyway. A girlie girl, or so she seemed with her short minishirt and pink hair. She walked into the old bookshop, her bike and surfboard, which she always had with her were parked outside, locked and safe. Raving had told her about the shop. She had wanted to get a good, classic copy of a Midsummer Nights Dream, simply because it was one of the easier Shakespeare plays. Her adopted mother loved musicals, plays, all that stuff and was trying to get it to rub off on her adopted daughter. She walked in, her white shirt and pink skirt clashing with the old, dusty brown interior of the shop. She walked over to the bookshelves looking for a screenplay of it. She saw Duncan and smiled "Hello" she said quietly, not trying to ruin the quite atmosphere.

Duncan glanced up from his copy of Antony and Cleopatra, a bit startled by the girl's well, brightness. He put the page number into memory before closing the manuscript softly and stood up, setting the copy down on the chair before taking a step toward her and nodding his head in greeting, "Hello there." Looking curiously up at the shelves, he could only take Antony for so long at a time, he ran his fingers over the spines, "Are you looking for something in particular?" She didn't seem very old, so he was trying to be helpful, a good day just put him in that kind of mood.

Iasc watched the boy, or the teenager really. He looked out of place aswell, which made her feel somewhat more comfortable, though not much. She smiled, feeling new to this. "Yeah, I'm looking for an easy Shakespeare play. I'm kind of, new to literature especially the type of english Shakespeare writes in so I want to read an easier one of his work. Something like Midsummer Nights dream or something?"

He flicked his tail, thinking for a few moments. "So you have trouble with the language?" Disappearing around the corner for a moment, he returned with a newer looking book, "There were a few authors who translated Shakespeare's works into modern English. Well, almost modern, they were written a while ago." He tapped the cover of the book, "This is the one I started with, Hamlet, the story is simplified a bit, but it's still good, and there's a glossary in the back." Suddenly looking a bit startled, he realized he'd been talking more than usual and he still hadn't introduced himself, "Sorry, my name's Duncan."

"People really did that. Wow thats a good idea, it would be a big help. Thank you so much" she said smiling and taking the book. "Raving told me a little about Hamlet...not to much though" she said. "She said she did a version of it on play through Gaelic." Iasc held the book with her too arms, as though hugging and protecting it. Her mother had told her that books were sacred, that if you tore or burned a book it meant burning or destroying the ideas inside, the story and the wonder. She did tell her that it didn't really count if you didn't mean too. Still she was wary to protect it. "Pleased to meet you Duncan" she said happily. "Duncan? As in King Duncan yes? Macbeth? I've never read the play but I saw it in the theater"

So she'd been to the theatre that young... The teen couldn't help but show a smile, something he hadn't done in a long time, "Yeah, exactly. It wasn't my name in hell but, well, it is now." He shook his head, "Sorry, I'm going on about nothing again. It's just good to see that interest hasn't died out. Have you considered studying the works? Like with a mentor, it's a lot easier to understand if you have someone to dicuss it with, all of them are."

Iasc smiled, a little sympathetically. Sometimes it almost seemed that she was older then she really was. "My name wasn't Iasc in hell, but my mummy called me it, because it means fish in Irish and I love fish" she said, trying to make him feel a little better. She was a demon too, she knew what everyone went though. "I have actually. I want to go into theater when I'm older. I got my mum to enroll me into voice training classes, speech and drama and performing arts with my older brother Tine. A mentor?" she asked, her eyes brightening up. "That would be brillent! It would be much easier to understand if I had someone to help me!" the young girl cried happily.

"My father named me Jakub. It means replacement, lovely don't you think?" He watched her for a moment when he realized she had mentioned an interest in acting, "Really? That's wonderful, there's always a need for fresh minds in theatre, I do have to say I'm a little impressed." Thinking for a moment, he set his hand on an old copy of The Tempest, "I could teach you a few things if you want, I'm still learning myself. I've been interested in theatre and Shakespeare for.." He seemed like he was concentrating, "About eleven years."

Iasc smiled "I love acting, though I've only started learning!" she said happily. "Eleven years?" she exclaimed, looking wide eyed at him "You must know a load then. I would be honoured if you would be my mentor" she said smiling. "I really would because I want to know alot!!

He showed a faint blush, though his expression remained the same. "I wouldn't say I know a load, but I know some tricks. Like expressions, they're key if you want to act." Glancing around the building, he tried to find an example, finally settling on the look on the face of the clerk's teenage daughter. "What do you think of her?" He pointed, motioning carefully to the lines of her face and the look in her eyes as she was slumped over the counter, thumbing through an old index. "Does she look tired, bored, annoyed? What do you think?"

Iasc thought. "Umm...I think she looks bored. I don't know why will all these books around to read but she looks really bored...I think" she said, trying to think. She had a problem with making descisions, she was always terrifed that she would be wrong and people would think she was stupid or she was right and people would think she was some kind of a swot. But she left more at ease around her mentor, her new mentor.

Duncan gave a bit of a proud grin, but his face quickly settled back to his normal unphased expression, "Exactly, I've spoken to her before, she's only working here to gain a little respect from her father. Truth is, she doesn't like to read at all." He'd given her one that was a bit easy to be nice, but she'd gotten it fairly quickly, now for an exercise that was a little bit harder. "The thing an actor learns though, is how to pick up those expressions. Watch." He settled back down where he had been sitting after putting his book down on the side table. With his elbow propping himself up, his expression faded, eyes drooping as he thumbed through the pages, imitating the girl's expression to almost every detail.

Iasc giggles and he did an imitation of the girl. She clapped and smiled "Well done, you've got her down perfectly! I wish I could act as well as that. I'd never be able to do that!" she said smiling. She was proud that he was so good at acting. It meant that she minght be able to learn propperly, well. She took in ever expression, every hand gesture so that she could hopefully do it herself somedat. "I can't she how she couldn't like to read. Reading is so much fun!"

Duncan smiled faintly, closing the book carefully. Stretching as he stood, that girl had horrible posture. He took a step back toward Iasc so he could speak at a lower volume and keep from upsetting anyone. "It just takes practice is all, lots and lots of practice. Ramiro told me something about the Banir schools, do they ever do plays?"
