Allureyan was so focussed that he hadn't noticed the female, pulling two books on Alchemy from a shelf for personal research, and furrowing his golden brow as his eyes raked over one vertical volume at a time.
Constructs
Amalgamations
Medicinals
Benign Theory
Nothing was in order, all the shelves in the row looked jumbled and incomplete, there was no telling what actually belonged and what had been shoved on a shelf when the student lost interest. Screwing his eyes shut he counted his own breaths slowly, 1.... 2..... 3.... It wasn't his job..... 4... 5... 6... Somebody else had been neglecting theirs... 7....8...9... And if he ever found out who had been inconsiderate enough to inflict this mess on anyone else they would pay.... 10.
Allure felt much better. There it was.. Right where it didn't belong.
People and Politics Just the book he needed to finish his work for Dameron. Double checking the corrections he had already made to a few files. Selecting the volume he turn and spotted Danna, giving her a bland polite nod with a brilliant smile he moved to return back to his table.

Belwen makes her way into the library, she lightly tosses her soft pink hair over her shoulder as she gazes around. Well at least it seemed a few of her classmates were around, or at least students were around. Smiling some she wanders closer to where the boy was sitting with his book, she offers a small wave to Danna not seeing her too far away.
Belwen lets her gaze fall over Allure, appreciating pretty things her gaze lingers on his hair. He does have lovely hair she thinks to herself, but from the way he was eyeing that book she had a feeling he wasn't going to be in the mood to let her braid it. She then shuffles over quietly closer to Danna, the girl looked cheerful enough.
Belwen puts on her best friendly smile and looks to Danna speaking softly, "Hello..." she was pretty sure that making friends in the library might be against some rule but one went where the people were, and as far as Belwen was concerned that made it a good place as any for friends or rather potential friends.

Allure flicked his eyes restlessly up to the girls, hearing the even, short, girly footfalls, like a whisper of brocade attached to the new comer. She looked just as girly as she walked, and looked like a holiday candy, all soft greens and pinks.
And shifted in his seat.. It wasn't that he was anti-social, he just got distracted easy and had thought to avoid the heavy traffic time of day for the Library.
His luck, the two females would start talking...
Trying to focus on his work, his eyes kept returning to Candy and her friend, until he had all but forgotten his work and was staring.

Danna blinked, a little startled when the boy turned and smiled and then brushed past. She quickyl moved out of his way and took her turn at the shelf. Her eyes drawn immediately to a certain section. Danna was so used to these shelves that she knew the curious manner in which they were organized. Aha! Cartomancy. Danna pulled the dusty old tome from the shelf and turned to see a brilliantly Phlegmatic student she'd never seen before. "Hello," Danna replied pleasantly. She gestured to the work table where Allureyan sat, inviting the girl to join her there, rather than stand awkwardly in front of the reference shelves. As Danna made her way to one of the chairs, she couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious when the Sanguine boy glanced up at her again. She placed the tome on cartomancy on the table and shifted her satchel with one hand, other hand on the back of the leather chair. "Would it be alright if we were to share your table?" Danna asked, her voice little above a whisper.

Belwen nodded slightly when Danna pointed to the table where Allure was sitting. The boy seemed to now be more interested in the others in the library - or at least heeding their presence more. Belwen beams pleasently to both and glances down to the boy; she really didn't have anything to work on. But if the two were working on things she might be able to learn some about them or at least find some company with them around.
While waiting for the boy to answer Belwen let her deep blue eyes wander over the library. For a free period she found it odd to only find these two here...she wondered where the other students had gotten off to.
Then her mind still wandering she looked back to Danna, Danna she realized had nice hair as well as Allure. She wondered if the girl had ever thought of putting flowers in it...white or cream ones would be lovely.

Looking up at the girls, Allureyan knew that he wouldn't be able to focus on his work with them at the table. So sliding what he was working on to the side he selected an alchemy book he could hardly wait to delve into and pulled out his copper notebook.
"Go ahead." Allure gestured to the seats, allowing his eyes to move over every small detail on the pare, already referring to the phlegm girl as Candy and noting how pretty and symmetric the choleric girl was, he wondered why he hadn't noticed how pretty she was sooner... must be the lighting, he decided... But Candy's eyes were definitely the prettier of the two girls.
"What are you two ladies up to this afternoon?" His voice was was pitched carefully low, it was after all a library, he cringed inwardly however as even their whispers echoed in the vast area.

Danna's face broke into a glowing grin of relief and joy. She was rather afraid this boy might have the nerve to say no, and send them off to another table. How embarrasing that would be! But he had said yes, so! Danna slipped into her chair in one smooth and quiet movement, shifting her cream satchel to the top of her lap as she did so. She lowered her gaze as she found the boy staring at her, and nervously tucked a wayward strand of hair behind her ear. He was looking at her, Danna realized, so self-conscious that she missed seeing him give the same evaluating stare to Belwen at her side. Danna busied herself with pulling her quill case from her bag. When the boy asked his question she looked up cautiously, and offered a tentative smile. "I'm working on a Golem." She placed the quill case next to her notebook and extended a honey-coloured hand. "My name is Danna, by the way..." She whispered in an afterthought.

Belwen took a moment to look the other two students over, this had been what she was hoping for, others to meet. Smiling brightly she took one of the free chairs and with a slight chirp in her greeting took her seat, "I'm Belwen, and right now I just had nothing to do." As she settles she takes a moment to adjust the lace around her sleeves and sits back comfortably in the chair.
She then glanced over at Danna and her smile widened just slightly. Danna she realized didn't know she was pretty...and for some reason a very girly very nosy part of her got over excited. Danna had lovely hair as she had already noted, and well if one got her a green in a slightly darker shade of her hair that would go well also. Getting a general feel for the appearance of the other girl quickly she also takes out a sketchbook but instead of writing notes she propped it up so only she could see it. With a few quick lines to start the outfit out Belwen watched the two over her notebook and started creating a dress that she had a feeling would look just beautiful on Danna.
Pausing in her work she looks over at Danna, "I haven't gotten to start my classes yet...but making golems. That sounds real important." Her eyes drift to the notebook curiously, "what sort of golem are you making?"

Danna looked over to the new girl she'd met, Belwen. She seemed a very friendly, nice person at first impressions. Danna smiled. "I'm training so that I can become a Golem Technician and a Hybrid Technician." Danna flipped back a few pages in her sketchbook to show her concept sketches for Radical. "Right now I can't make the Golems, but I can design them, and set out their skills and protocol so that they're ready to go to the Technicians. Currently I'm working on one for myself and one for my friend."

Looking back and forth between the two girls, his interest lingered on Danna, not even really catching Candy's name. She sounded intelligent and concise she knew what she was talking about, and was prepared to work hard for her goal.
"Golems.. constructs of earth and magic... Clay men. Its a combination of metallurgy, alchemy and mysticism right?"
Reaching for one of the books on alchemy next to him, he started flipping through pages to see if he could find anything that might help her, he didn't know a lot about golems the bare basics since they held no interest for him but he was certain that their creation made use of some alchemy.

Hearing Allureyan speak, Danna nodded and smiled. "It isn't the same sort of Alchemy used in Cooking class, mind you." Danna murmured, not wanting to sound like a know-it-all. "They use the Crucibles, and Tome Paper to bring the creations and concept on the page to life. I'm not sure of the precise process, but it seems absolutely fascinating." Danna shrugged slightly, and smiled a little self-consciously. She hoped they didn't think her silly for her passionate interest in the subject.

Closing his book again, Allure looked nothing less than fascinated. There was a look of rapture on the girls face that could only come with love of something or someone. So he nodded and glanced back at Candy.
"I'd like to know more... When you learn how to build them could you show me...?"
His eye's flicked again over to Candy who he could tell was listening, so he calmly let it rest with that question giving Candy a chance to pose one or two of her own. The flamboyant girl looked the sort to have a million questions.

Belwen leaned over to look at the offered sketches smiling some as she saw. Danna seemed to really know what she was doing even if she was just learning. "What sort of referances were you looking for, for the golems?" Belwen curiously looked to the book. Personally she wasn't all for golem sorts for creatures they sounded cold...but she was not adverse to learning about them.
"I haven't gotten to start my classes yet, when do you learn about creation of golem. At least what your able to do now?" Belwen smiled a little as she spoke, even if golems weren't overly exciting to her; she much preferred more living creatures, it might be fun to learn at least what Danna was doing. Though a bit spacey at times Belwen really did want to know a little about everything.

Danna was a little overwhelmed, but happily so to see their interest in her passionate study. She looked from one to the other smiling. "Oh, it's very engrossing," she said to Allureyan when he asked to be shown. "But watching a crucible work is a curious thing. It's like putting dough intot he oven in a ball, and turning it on, and then when you open the oven up again a living thing walks out." She turned to Belwen and patted the volume of cartomancy. "My friend, Lucis wishes to base a Golem off the Golem Shard Ace of Spades, so I thought if I had a look at Cartomancy - the art of divination through cards - it might give me some ideas for his Golem. But I'm sure you'll learn all this in Art class with Raelyn."

Allure looked from Danna to Candy, listening to the exchange. The conversation had substance, a feature that he wasn't accustomed to experiencing from his contemporaries.
Basing Golems off Golem Shards, that sounded like a playing card. Talk of Cartomancy, divination wasn't something that he was willing to give much credence. But this girl was studying it as something to base Golem construction on.
Baffling.
"It sounds as though you have your work cut out for you." Inspecting the subtle details of Danna's body language, the Sanguine suspected that the girl loved what she was speaking of, enough, at least enough to succeed.
Candy however, was more like him, her interest in Golems was likely pure academics.
