Reiha looked over at Korbin and he fluttered back up to the top of the stacks. She ignored Adian as she hugged her new book to her. "the bird books are over here" she infomred him, leading him though the stacks of books to a whole new section, far away from the kids books. They were in the research part of the libray.
"Is there a certain type of bird you wnat?" she asked, "they're in alphabetical order" she said, walking over to the C section. "See? Crow" she said pointing to a crow book. "That book told me Korbin was a fish crow and stuff about his kind"
Adian sighed as he stayed a bit away from Reiha and her new....something. He glanced round, looking for the parent of the winged boy. Maybe a mom. He grined at the idea and remembered Hikari. She was cute and he certainly ejoyed flirting with her. He enjoyed his date a few weeks ago more.

"Blackbird, I'm taking care of one," he added with a smile. He looked along the books moving over to the B section before choosing one of the books about blackbirds. He opened it, flipping through the pages for a picture. "This is what he looks like...kinda," he said his mouth quirking up on one side. Well it was what he would look like once the blood was washed off his feathers and things.
Xiu Xue sighed, placing her cheek on her hand. There were a lot of books about raising children. Of course most of them were about babies, some even about planning when to have a child. She doubted finding a mysterious ticket was one of the methods but nonetheless she needed something. It took her a few moments before she finally picked out two books. One about what kids need and one about discipline and making rules.
Holding one book, she opened the other so she could skim it. She should find Kasch and get home soon.

Reiha moved closer to him as she looked over the book. "Blackbirds" she murrmered, "Like Korbin" the small girl looked up at Korbin. "I love my bird" she said simply. "do you love yours?" she asked him. She been wondering something. Other people couldn't understand Korbin but maybe this boy could understand his bird. "When your bird speaks, can you understand what it says?" Or was she just werid?

"Of course I love my bird," Kasch replied. What kind of question was that? He opened his mouth to say something but stopped when she spoke again. He tilted his head pondering what she meant exactly.
Honestly, understanding the tweets and caws of the birds was hard. A lot of their words sounded the same and often they seemed to speak in somewhat broken english if one could consider it that. "Sometimes. It's easier when they talk by mind," he nodded.
Thought wise it seemed a bit easier to understand because often with words he could see pictures. And as a child he understood those more than words.

Reiha smiled when he said that, it meant she wasn't too werid. She knew she was different, Adian made that clear but she knew there was a difference between being different and being werid. Werid could be bad. Different means she just thought of things in a different way.
"I can understand Korbin" Reiha said, looking up at him again. "When ever he talks I just know what he says" she explained with a shrug. "But he also understands me so I don't see why it's that werid but people always look at me werid when I talk to Korbin"
Reiha shrugged andreached up to grab a book on crows. "Some people call Korbin a raven" she said, "but he's not. He's a crow. There's a difference" she said stoubernly.

Kasch figured Reiha was talking more to herself at this point and he looked through the books. He pulled out a book about pigeons deciding he should learn about more than just blackbirds.
"It's not weird to talk to birds, they're smart," he murmured lost in thought. He paused drawn out by her last words, was she mad again? He bit his lip turning to look at her. "I won't call him a raven..." he gave her a smile, an offer of friendship.

Reiha glancedat him, wondering if he was listening at all. If there was one thing she couldn't stand it was being ignored but then he spoke, and looked at her with a smile. After a long moment she smiled back, he was nice, when he wasn't lecturing or ignoring her.
"Thanks and you're right" Reiha glanced up at Korbin. "I wish I was bird. Then I can fly. You're lucky, you have wings" she said enviously. "I want wings, that way I can soar in the sky with Korbin and no one can ever hold me down"

Kasch wasn't sure what to think of her last statement. He felt the opposite, he wanted to nestle into people's arms and stay safe. "Wouldn't you miss your Dad or Mom?" he asked confused.
He really wasn't sure what to think of her. His wings fluttered and it seemed odd that she would want wings to fly away. Obviously, his wings were a lot different than a bird's. "You'd look funny with bird wings, your arms would be covered in feathers," he gave a giggle.

Reiha frowned at the mention of parents, there was something wrong with that. Adian wasn't her parent, she knew that much. Both of them were trying to just work out their own realtionship. Reiha wasn't even sure if she liked Adian yet. He seemed alright most of the time and his rules weren't un reasonable she just didn't like getting bossed around.
"I don't have any" she said at last, "A mom and dad. All I have is Korbin, Adian watches me but he isn't my parent or anything" she said with a shrug. "Korbin is the only family I have" The onlyshe wanted. She trusted Korbin.
"I think that be cool" she replied, looking at her patheticly feather free arms, "Then peoplewould leave me alone 'cause I'd be scary. I'm not all that scary" she said sadly.

He resisted the urge to say she did seem a bit mean. Perhaps mean wasn't scary but she definately didn't seem like someone he could talk to. He felt like she'd be unsympathetic to anything he said. He sighed, he was torn in two. He was scared of Reiha, she didn't seem to want him there at all. Yet he didn't want to leave her alone with Korbin, even if that's what she wanted.
"You want to be scary? I don't think feathered arms would be scary, just odd." He furrowed his brows, he didn't understand Reiha at all. He wondered if all girls were as confusing or if it was just her. "Do all girls want to be scary?" he asked naively.
Xiu Xue looked up in time to see Kasch talking to Reiha. She turned, her ears perking up. Hadn't she left him over there? She shook her head and ventured over to him. "Kasch, what are you doing over here?" she asked.

Reiha shrugged, "I dunno" she admited, looking away, "I don't know any girls. Adian proably would know. He talks to girls all the time. He talks in this werid voice and he smiles really stupid too" she said,frowning and then shrugged, glancing at him with suspious eyes. She got the feeling he didn't like her much. Maybe she should just shut up.
Then she looked over as someone walked over to them. Reiha stood firm and straightened a little, ready to protect if it was needed. But the girl said Kasch's name so instead she glanced back at him and then to the female.
"I showed him where the bird books are" Reiha spoke up. "He wanted to know about blackbirds"

"Well thank you," Xiu Xue said giving Reiha a smile. She knelt down putting her hands out so that Kasch could hand her the books he wanted to check out. "We'll have to get you a library card so you can check out books by yourself."
Turning her head to Reiha, she wondered if the little girl was here by herself. But Kasch decided to speak up, "Now you know a girl, Reiha. This is my sister and she's a girl!" He grinned, sounding rather silly with his last statement.

Reiha looked at the woman with wide eyes. She looked different to but kind of neat she thought. She glanced over as Kacsh as he said she knew a girl. She shrugged and looked back to the sister. Was it really that easy? No, just because you knew someone didn't mean they were friends.
"I think she's a woman" Reiha said but shrugged, "There's a difference I think" she said but smiled at Kacsh a bit. He was being nice. "I got a libray card" Reiha mentioned, "It's real easy to get one."

"No, I'm too young to be considered a woman. I'm only sixteen. An adult would be a woman at least twenty-one years old," Xiu Xue corrected. She might be mature enough by some standards but she was really still a child herself. Sighing, she looked at Reiha not sure what to think of the girl. She obviously had her own opinion about things.

"Age only matters when you're old and when you're young" Reiha said, "Or really if you're concered with death or growing up. I think you look like a woman to me" she siad with a nod, but then shrugged, "But I geuss that doesn't mean much" Reiha said after a moment. She glanced up and Korbin fluttered down, She smiled and hugged him. Korbin cared. He always would. "I'll leave alone Kasch if you want" Reiha mentioned, "You have your sister now."
