Krait smiled shyly and nodded while the girl talked. When she asked about a book, Krait nearly leapt to the shelves, so quickly did he dart forward. He scoured the shelves, reading as quickly as he could. And then, spying what he wanted, he pulled a relatively small red cloth-bound book with white lettering from the shelf and passed it to her. "Thisth one isth called Justht Stho Sthtories, by Rudyard Kipling. Thisth isth the book I have at home. I am reading through it. I really like it stho far." Krait spoke, more quickly than his usual wont due to his excitement, but still as softly as ever.

Keshi tiptoed on the cold floor as quietly as she could. The only thing to be heard was the wooden shoes clacking together. As she tiptoed along she noticed the childrens section. She started to peek at the books and found Tin Tin. She opened it up and it had lots of pictures. "Ohh" she cooed as she fliped through the book. "It was't a big book but it's a start" she wispered under her breath remembering the rule about being quiet.
She then heard the voices and wondered who was being so loud...or was she just being to quiet. She tiptoes through the many walls of books. When she was close she slowed down and peeked around the corner.
She saw the both of them talking with their backs to her. She did not want to bother them but she was curious about what they where talking about. So she quietly listened and peeked. She thought to her self ~I hope they don't get mad at me for listening to them.~

Pterois stifled a giggle at Krait's eager dash to the shelves to choose something for her. She tilted her head, listening, sure she had heard the approaching noisy clack of someone approaching, but then the noise stopped and no one came up to either her or Krait so she merely shrugged. 'Just So Stories huh?' she took the book from him, flipping it and reading the blurb. 'Well I'll give it a try, see what it's like.' she smiled at him. 'Thank you Krait.' Her head spines rose a little, as she felt like they were being watched again. 'Do you hear..?' she asked Krait, wondering if she was just being paranoid.

Krait smiled happily when she took the book. "I hope you will like it" He said to her, nodding softly. He watched the spines on her head lift and watched her with unabashed interest. He listened carefully at her prompt, and his little tongue began to flicker out in uncertain darts, tasting the air trying to pick up some sort of scent... Ah! There...the faintest trace of poppyseed... Krait turned to look over his shoulder and caught sight of a pair of dark tilted eyes peering at him from around the corner of a bookshelf. He froze and stared back at her.

Keshi noticed the boy start to turn around. "His tongue is blue" she thought to herself and then she was looking into his eyes. Keshi's eye grew as wide a saucers. She could feel her cheeks grow warm with colour and embarrassment.
Keshi steped out from the bookshelves. " Umm..ahh sorry for peeking um mm on you both." Her shoes clacked together as she gave a very deep bow. "I was just umm curious." She said as she twisted and turned her bare feet on the cold floor in shyness. She felt so awkward and embarrassed she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. With a quiver in her lips and another bow she blurts out "Are you mad at me for peeking at you?"

Krait shook his soft hair gently. "I'm not mad... Why are you hiding?" Krait whispered softly. Krait drew nearer to Pterois unconsciously, and his tail snaked out and wrapped itself around one of her legs. Krait's cheeks exploded with a deep blush as he slapped at his own tail, and eventually got it to let go and stop clinging to the Lionfish girl's leg. Embarrased, Krait gummed an appology, and for the moment completely forgot that the little newcomer had seen the entire exchange.

" I could hear your voices and when I followed them and saw you two having fun...Umm I didn't want bother you two." Keshi said. She looked quickly at her feet when she noticed the boy's tail touch the girl's leg. "Umm my name is Keshi."she said and she bowed deeply again and started to quietly giggle. As soon as she realised she was giggling she quickly covered her mouth and slowly peeked up through her hair that had fallen over eyes.

Pterois raised an eyebrow as the watcher revealed herself. 'Not mad,' she said, trying not to jump as something coiled around her leg. She glanced down, noticing that Krait had shuffled closer and gripped onto her with his tail. A moment later he had released her leg again. 'It's just a bit rude to eavesdrop is all.' She nodded as the girl gave her name. 'I'm Pterois.'

Kyler had been to this place once when it was in the middle of building, The Dark One had told him the building was going to be a Library, a place to learn things and read books. Kyler had nabbed a cookie from Nanny that had just been baked when its back was turned and was nibbling up what was left of it as he peered in the window.
Kyler was on the wall outside, making full use of his extra limbs and peeking inside. He spied a few figures, lost amongst the books, but they were hard to make out at the distance and cover. Kyler decided to check out the books and grab something to read, and maybe see who the others were and with that, slid inside the open window.

Ora sat quiet as he listen to the others. A lighter voice had joined the pair, she had a bit of an accent? or maybe that was just his imagination. The dragon heard steps close by and grabbed at a random book to at least pretend he was meant to be there. The book had a lot of numbers and words in it but the pictures confused him, they were all lines but didn't seem to form anything recognisable. Turning the book onto it's spine Ora tilted his head to read the dark lettering. "L-ek-trrr-o-ni-ks Sssii-m-p-li-f-ied" He wasn't quite sure what 'lektroniks' were so he mused on replacing that book with something he could read. Reaching up to place the heavy book back in it's place, the tome fell through his fingers and landed with a loud thud near his foot. Wisking his long toes into safety the komodo almost lost his balance, catching himself with his long tail before that caused a few more books to join their mate on the floor with equal exuberance.

"I'm Krait..." Krait whispered shyly, his face still down-turned and flushed pink. A moment later he leapt another foot in the air at the sound of a heavy thump followed by several more noises like small explosions. So the noises seemed to Krait, not being able to see that the source of the sounds was that of heavy books falling flatly on the hard floor. He cowered and clung to Pterois, this time too frightened to realize what he was doing. His tail coiled firmly around her waist and his arms flew about her neck quick as lightning as he burried his face into her shoulder in fear. After the silence returned, Krait remained quivering and clinging to his aquatic friend waiting for some signal that it was safe.

Oliva peeks into the building, rather shyly. Silently, she slips into it, hearing voices.
Sort of excited, she grins, and grabs her long tail to hug to her chest. Her odd ponytail bounces as she hops from foot to foot in her black, zip-up boots. She lets go of her tail, and shoves her hands in the pockets of her indigo jeans.
Chewing on her lower lip, she peeks between one of the isles between the shelves of books, only one of her pink eyes visible, as her other is covered with her bangs. Is she going to meet any new friends?
She notices some people in a larger group, including Krait. But, he seems to be giving some other person a strange hug. She decides it is best not to interrupt.
Two others, off by themselves, catch her eye, and she slowly inches toward them. Especially when she notices one of them is way taller than her! Her visible eye can be seen glancing around as she looks at everything around her.

Kyler creeped along the book shelves and put his hands into his black long pants. With the buckles he had on them, he chinked a little with every step. Peering over tops of books, he smiled seeing Pterois and some others and played with his hair.
He decided to look around a bit and blinked at the thump on the ground. Peering his head around a corner he grinned, seeing a guy with a really cool hat, it made him snicker.

Ouch! Loud! Ora cringed, he didn't like loud noises and in the quiet of the huge room the noise seemed to echo and become even louder. Glancing around on either side his tounge flickered out between his lips as he searched for anyone who might have seen him. Glancing down at the pile of books around his feet he wondered if he should just get out of there or actually pick up all those books. His tail waved from side to side as his mind swung like a pendulumn. Suddenly he saw another face in the ailse he was in and flight almost won over before he tripped backwards over one of the books and landed on his tail. More ouch!

Olivia ignores the tall one, for now (except to give an absent wave), and hurries toward the one on the floor with all the books around him. He has a tail, too! They have to much in common already!
"Olivia help?" she asks, in a quiet voice, hugging her tail close to her chest, beaming at the boy with the strange black thing on his head. She blinks her pink eye once, and decides to kneel down. "Olivia help get you back on your feetssss and pick the bookssss up, if you want?"
