Bloo found his way back to Algie, a little worn out, and seemed to snuggle into his normal spot on Algie's finger. The wizard paused his tea drinking to allow the wisp to get comfortable. He nodded to Merci, pointing out the picture of Wren, Halo and their fiends as children. He felt the need to show what Bloodstone used to be.

"Welll..." Algie peered over his glasses which had slipped down his nose a bit. "If it's alright with Merci then it's fine with me. I trust you will be responsible with it." He had the whole 'parental deliberation' thing down pretty well.

"Pierce.. I believe was Wren's nickname for Hawk's Eye." He never really got the reference but he wasn't a big TV watcher. "So perhaps you can just take the book and Hawk will be able to help you with it?"

Merci noticed the gesture and she went over to the chair and perched on the edge of it. She had the same moment of startled realization that the Hawk in the photo was younger then the one she knew. "So this is Wren and your Daughter then?" She leaned in and arched a brow "Oooh hey that's Bloo isn't it? He looks so handsome." She took a sip of her tea and turned her green eyes on Dio.

He really was excited, but she couldn't condone just taking things from other people. Merci took a deep breath, Algie was being really sweet about her fiend trying to make off with a part of his collection. The fight that would likely ensue if she told Dio that he couldn't have it was likely to be pretty darned epic, so she heaved a sigh, "Is there something I can do to compensate you Algie? I feel guilty about him just taking something that's obviously extremely old and rare like this without some sort of collateral."

Dio let out a very happy squeal and he zipped over and gave the wizard a one armed hug. The other was still holding the book in it, so Algie didn't get the full Dio glomping. 'Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll give it back when I'm done I swear. I'll even give you copies of whatever notes I take if you want it.'

The fox woman ran a hand through her hair. "I think he might love you now. Poor Algie, you're probably in the Auntie Reyna and the Athan man category now." She was mostly teasing.

"Yes he was a very serious, but pleasant fellow I am told." In reference to Bloo's previous incarnation.

Algie laughed a bit, juggling his teacup out of the way of Dio's hug, and hugged him back with one arm. "It's really no problem. How about you can just owe me one. The book seems to belong to Hawk's Eye anyway. I'm sure he can help Dio with it.." Algie wasn't sure of Hawk's relationship with Dio but he assumed by the way Dio talked that they were on good terms.

"Plus I trust Dio to be careful. You will, won't you?!" He gave both of his guests a wink. If there was anything teenagers loved, human or otherwise, it was to prove their parents doubts wrong. "Was there anything else that struck your fancy? Or did you just take some notations down?"

Merci crossed her legs and lifted the tea cup to her lips, she was pretty content to let Dio handle things himself. After all he wasn't a child anymore, and she was pretty sure he would start to resent her if she didn't let him. She didn't want things to turn out with him like they had with Fiona. Merci hadn't really heard from her adopted daughter in a few months. Dio right now simply HAD to be around her, because his soul would wither and die on it's own. One day that had to change though, he was getting stronger and she wanted them to have a good relationship.

Dio nodded a little bit 'Actually I did find something I have questions about. Rather Bloo showed me, what are those scrolls? They are so detailed and amazing.' As he spoke the fiend moved off back toward the place that obviously held things that belonged to the wisp. 'I would rather not take to many things from you at the same time, that would be rude. Though I would like to come back again, you have an amazing collection. Maybe without Merci so I can curl up and spend some time reading.'

Merci snorted and pretty much stayed where she was, "Don't feel like you have to do something on my account." She had wanted to come the first time, mostly to see what kind of place it was. She was still overprotective enough she didn't like Dio going places she hadn't been with him first.

Merci`

"Honestly I am not sure. I found those a few months ago in a weird little shop not far from Twilight Designs." Algie sipped his tea again. "I thought 'I have never seen gods like these before..' though they share similarities with hindu and buddhist imagery.. Anyway.. I just couldn't let them sit there. I knew that Bloo had been rather zen previously so I put them there with his things." Algie wasn't aware that Bloo had taken such a liking to them. Bloo wasn't much of a communicator thus far in their relationship.

"The artwork is beautiful though and the sky.. rather unique, wouldn't you say? I'd very much like it if you came back to study them. They are rather delicate and I wouldn't want to put them through too much travelling." Algie eyed the scrolls where they were rolled inconspicuously. "I'm sure that book you have should be enough for now. I will make sure Hela knows that if you come knocking that you are free to use the library."

Bloo waggled his tendrils happily at this notion. He was fond of Dio already it seemed.

Dio nodded enthusiastically, 'I would love to come back and have a good look at those. Bloo seemed very proud of them, and I think I might have a couple books that have some references to ancient religions. I didn't collect books that were solely on that subject, but many of them mention religion as a part of the civilization and culture. Maybe something I have will point in a more solid direction.' The teenager was obviously in his element. His mind worked scientifically, and he was very thorough. 'I'll bring my bag with me next time. Oh right and I'll try and remember to knock.'

Merci got up and wandered over to where the men seemed to be chatting. For some reason when she thought of boys getting together, this was not the sort of thing she assumed they would be doing. Obviously the men she was used to were not geeks. "Dio has a bad habit of forgetting that he shouldn't just phase through people's walls. He just cuts through entire houses if they are in his way." She definitely sounded amused by it, and she took another sip of her tea. The cup was dangerously empty, maybe she'd have to bug Algie for the secret to a good brew sometime.

She glanced at Dio and arched her brow, "Feeling like you're just about done here? I don't think we should be taking more then one thing from Algie at a time."

The fiend nodded and looked at Algie. 'Thank you for letting me borrow the book. I'm really excited for the chance to really study it.'

Merci`

"I think it may just be a fiend thing." The phasing. "Almost every one that I have seen does the same thing." To be honest, he probably would if he could!

Algie had noticed Merci's liking to the tea and now that they were discussing heading home he offered to take her cup, which may has well have been empty. He didn't want her sucking on the dregs!

"Oh Merci... I don't know if it's how you make it, but the quality of tea definitely makes a difference." Algie pulled a small glass jar with enough tea for a few cups in it. He was like a magical tea psychic! It also had a label from the shop he'd bought it from. Sure, he was a wizard but did Algie just carry tea around in free samples? Maybe. "Take this home and try it."

He gave both of his guests a charming grin and Bloo seemed to waggle his shadows at the same time. "It was a pleasure to have both of you here. I'll lead you out if you are going to head home. Dio, I'll be interested to hear if these help you. Maybe one day I can come and pick your brain about your own research!"

Merci handed over her teacup with no fuss and followed Algie as he led the way. "Sorry to drink your tea and run. Promise next time we come over we won't shake you down for whats between your covers and run." Okay yeah so she'd meant that to sound a little bad, but really what they were doing was the academic equivalent to a booty call. She stepped out the front door and gave Algie a bit of a smile, "Hope to see you soon."

Dio was impatient. He zipped past his guardian and gave a wave over his shoulder. He was super excited to get home. 'Thank you Algie. I'll come back soon. Until then you and Bloo have a good one okay?' He didn't even wait for a response, he just opened the door to the car and popped right inside.

He stuck his head back out to give Merci a very serious 'Hurry Up' look.


The guardian sighed and glanced back at Algie. "Gotta run. Take care." She also waved as she headed toward the big black SUV. There was no arguing with Dio when he was like this. Her best bet for peace was to get him home pronto. Merci stepped up and shut the door, starting the car to make the leisurely drive home.

Dio was already neck deep in his newly obtained treasure.

Merci`
