Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cathal laughed heartily at Kaylee's comment.

"Hehehe, Ive been drinking since I was five years old lassy, I grew up in the Scottish Highlands, I was born to drink. But I guess that I shouldn't be drinking as much. And as for the cigars, they are for special occasions, I offered Khane one because I thought it would help to calm down his nerves."

Looking up to Khane, he said sarcasticly, "Though I dont think that it helped him that much."

"Well im sorry that you seem to have such a terrible opinion of smoking and drinking, I agree that they are quite terrible habits, but they are a part of who I am, I can't change that."

Cathal screwed the cap back on his flask and put it away in his pocket.

"If it makes you uncomfortable then I can withhold from drinking in your presence...Well I can try anyways."

Cathal watched as Kaylee scaled the book case.

"Be careful there lassy! Ye dont want to fall and break something!"

He shifted in his seat, and continued to clean his claymore.

"Or would ye prefer if I got the book for you?"

Witnessing Kaylee's fall, Cathal nearly jumped out of his seat.

"Are you all right there lass? I told ya you were going to fall! You should have let me get the book for you."

Then seeing that she was alright, and that she had the book he said, "Well youve got the book. Might I ask what was so important that ye had to risk breakin ur little neck ta get it?

Lexy walked over to a table not far from where Abel was and looked at her hand. She flexed her fingers and thought to herself, Can I really control these things? She stared at her hand and focused, but nothing happened. Lexy had tried this for about 10 mins before giving up and looking up at the ceiling of the library. How do other people do this? she thought. Sighing, she looked back at her hand. Come on...A little something? Please? but nothing. DAMNIT! she cursed in her mind. Why the hell did my mom have to hid this from me? She could have told me and helped me control it, or something! She slammed her fist into the table. As soon as her hand hit the wood, a flame of shadows came up and engulfed her hand. Lexy smiled, no longer angry cause she did something, but at the very moment, the shadow flame left her. "Aww....So close. Damn."

Khane finished polishing his pistols, sliding them deftly back into their holsters. He stretched out and finished the cigar, spinning himself off of the top of the bookshelf, landing with one hand planted solidly on the table that Cathal was leaning against. He drew his sword slowly with the other hand, tossing it up into the air and grabbing it in a forward spinning dive. He skidded to a halt along the table, dropping to a knee and slashing the air in front of him before spinning the hilt over the back of his hand, sheathing it, and turning to Erica, who he was now beside.

"So baby-doll, what are we going to do now?"

Lexy laughed nervously at Abel's story. "Sometimes your stories scare me," she said, still laughing. She looked back at her hand and sighed. "So, how do I control my power? I got it....A bit...." She looked at Abel, "Is there some trick to working with powers? Or something? I feel like I'm missing something here." She looked back at her hands again, "I know that anytime I got sad, scared or mad that those little creatures would appear but..." She paused and looked confused, "I can't walk around always being sad or scared."

"Oh its just a bit of light reaserch" Kaylee said. "The more you know the more you can use things to your advantage" She smiled. "I was also wondering if there were any philosophy books..." she turned back to the bookshelf and looked it up and down again before turning to another. "do you read alot? or do you just like to hang around in a library and watch people read?" she said turning slowly back to Cathal she was smiling and feeling better and better by the seccond.
