Welcome to Gaia! ::

Entering the Shop behind his new acquaintance Ryuu Thanked her as he took the door from her and closed it carefully behind them. "Seriously, how the Hell did I miss this? My exploration skills must be rusty." He said out loud though to himself. At the hour it was, Ryuu wasn't surprised that the Bookstore was close to empty. He chuckled at Sarah's thoughtful expressions.

It appeared Sarah had misunderstood him, but instead of correcting Ryuu just grinned and played along. He liked Conversations like this; friendly and a bit teasing. "Let me rewind a bit- and actually give you a chance to answer." He laughed. "What are you favorite kinds of books?" Ryuu asked again starting to walk deeper into the shop but hung back a bit to give Sarah room to walk beside him. He figured she'd been here before, maybe, since she knew it was here. While he listened he looked around waiting for something to catch his eye.

Ryuu raised his eyebrows, "No kidding? I'm the same way more or less. So long as what I read tells a good and intriguing story the genre doesn't matter." He laughed a bit to himself. "Of course I have a terribly memory when it comes to what I have already read." He admitted noticing the book Sarah was poking at. "I guess I'm okay with that though, it lets me read the same story like new every time." He added with a satisfied nod. "Of course Today I'm looking for something a bit different..." He muttered scanning a row of "How to" Books.

"Ah ha~" He tapped a dark green hardback with his finger and carefully pulled it out from between the books around it. 'How to maintain an Indoor Garden' "Perfectly Specific~" He laughed. Ryuu then began to flip through the pages. "Don't you just love it when you suddenly find something you feel like you've been looking for for what seems like Forever?" He grinned.

"Rye.. Rye... I feel like I've read that one... But like I said, My memory Sucks~" He closed the Gardening book and turned his head towards sound of ice. "I don't think the ice is going to fit through that straw." He pointed out jokingly. Ryuu chuckled once more at the subtle changes in her expression as she thought to herself. Ryuu chuckled at Sarah's curious glance at the thin book in his hands. He wasn't the kind of guy who tried to hide his somewhat strange and maybe a bit out of character talents. Placing the green book on his head he turned towards the comic section She had been gazing at. "Whats the title? Maybe I can help you find it." Balancing the book Ryuu grinned at her and started in that direction.

Even with the weight -though light- of a book on his head Ryuu still moved normally as if balancing wasn't a trouble at all. He traced his finger along the spines of a group of comics. "I don't know what it is about books with pictures but I never seemed to read them as often as I do others." He remembered. "I guess it took the fun out of imagining what everything and everyone looks like." Ryuu shrugged, The book on his head teeter totted a bit. "Nah, I'm just weird~"

Ryuu laughed again as Sarah shushed him, the book on his head wobbled a bit. "I know you know," He leaned towards the shelf next to her to get a better look for Watchmen. "But If I didn't say it you wouldn't suddenly have that cute blush in your cheeks." He added casually casting a sideways glance towards Sarah. Although he was reading the titles as he scanned the shelf he kept getting distracted by his balancing act. "Audiobooks, huh." He considered tilting his head to prevent his from falling. "Maybe, though I doubt my Attention span would be able to absorb words coming from a person I can't see." He was weird like that. Unlike some people who can't stand being read to- Ryuu could listen to someone talk, but only if he could see their faces. Sometimes expressions spoke to him as well as words on a page did.

This was probably why he kept chuckling for what seemed like no reason at all. Sarah's expressions as he spoke to her and as she thought to herself were adorable. But he'd refrain from saying so- just yet at least. Ryuu Straightened himself out and stretched- arms upward as to not bump anything or anyone. The book on his head finally tipped far enough to slide off in front of his face. As a blur of green touched the top of his vision Ryuu reached up and caught it. "Aw, and I was doing so well too."

"Oh it is? Pink, Huh?" Ryuu matched her glare with a playful smirk in turn. "I must have missed the memo." He shrugged. He blinked when she questioned his Balancing antics, follow by a light laugh. "Well If I don't I might accidentally put it down and forget I found it." As he spoke he flipped the book to and from each hand. "So I put it on my head to remind me..." He grinned widely. "That. OR I just thought it's be fun and random." He chuckled. "Ah yes The lovely fragrance of a new book pulled swiftly off the shelves. The old the better in my opinion. Old books just have this weird... nostalgic smell. I love it!"

He stopped flipping the green book long enough to look at it and set it back on his head. "I should probably pay for this before I forget it's up there, Ha ha!" With that he smiled at Sarah and headed towards the Cashier- walking a tad strangely as to keep the book still.

Once he reached the front desk Ryuu stopped and allowed the book to fall back into his hands. With a bright smile he handed it to the cashier who gave him a strange look, but she only chuckled as she took it and rang it up. Ryuu respectively paid the Hardback book price and thanked the woman as she handed him his new gardening book. "I know what I'm doing tomorrow!" He sang tapping his fingers on the green cover. Ryuu looked back in time to see Sarah balancing -kind of- her book on her head. He laughed out loud. "Copy cat? Or did it really look like that much fun." He teased moving aside.

Ryuu froze and blinked suddenly at nothing, then he looked at his empty wrist. "Wow. Look at that, it's midnight already." He smiled at the Cashier, "You must be bored." She shrugged but didn't say anything more. He opened his book with one hand. "Probably a bit too late- early? To start any of this..." He muttered, his eyes scanning the pages quickly.
