"Busy day," she muttered to Abolesce, heading out of the library and to the door. "And we all know that won't be the girl we've been waiting for."
Opening the door, she confirmed her suspicion. "Nope, probably not her," she shouted back into the house. Then she raised a brow. "Yes?"

"Oh, hello...I'm Rivka Harrison from Gaiana University...I heard you speak the other day and was given your address." She clasped her hands together behind her back to hide that they were sweaty from nerves. "I was hoping we could talk a bit more about your discoveries and other such things..."

She blinked, surprised. "Burial chambers usually don't interest people. Let me guess - you saw one of the flyers I put up on campus?" She smiled, tightly, then took a step back. "Come on in."

Rivka chuckled nervously "Well...I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to my major, I suppose..." She shrugged and then stepped inside, "Thanks...Lovely house by the way."

She snorted. "It's big. Which I never thought I'd need, until..." She waved her hand a little.
"Well, sit down," Aubri said, pointing to the couch. "You're an... anthropology major, perhaps? In any case... are you here concerning the flyers or just because you want to bask in the presence of my knowledge?"

Rivka followed Aubri inside and found a place to sit down. "Anthropology and Archeology double major. And yes, I'm here because of what I heard in your lecture, but also from the flyers. My interest was aroused and I just had to come and see what it was all about."

"Good. Because we need another caretaker. Apparently, I'm getting custody of all the orphans in the city..." She rolled her eyes. "Stay put, I'll be right back." Aubri hurried out of the room, and rummaged around in her office.
A few minutes later, she came back and deposited a talismanic necklace on the table. "To tide you over until she makes the crossing from the Southern continent, which should be in a week or two.
"That is, if you think you can take care of a winged cat-like creature with the intelligence of a human, the capacity for speech, a lifespan of over a century or even two, and with a unique culture. Are you up to the challenge, do you think?"

Rivka was silent from shock for a bit, but then nodded, "Yes...yes, I can definately handle this...I'm definately up for the challenge. I'm honored that you think I'm good enough..." She breathed in deeply and then reached out to take the necklace into her hands. "It's...lovely..."

"Actually, it's just because I'm assuming that an archaeology-anthropology double major doesn't go to a lot of frat parties. You guys usually turn out rather well. Take me, for instance - though I didn't double in those two subjects, it's close enough.
"Oh. The other thing to know about the necklace - the color of the beads shows you the basic colors your Dumyrciedel - that's what they're called - will be... and the type of statue tells you the basic personality. Yours will probably be very kind, possibly energetic. Might tear up your dorm room."

Rivka nodded and listened intently to what Aubri said. "I will do my very best to care for the Dumyr-...Uh...Dumyrciedel? I know I don't seem so now because I'm nervous, but I'm quite full of energy and happiness myself...We're a perfect pair." Rivka smiled and examined the necklace.

"Good. Anyway, I'm glad you're taking this well - it was very abrupt. Long day. Needed to get the responsibility for this girl off of my hand." Aubrianna laughed, drily. "Any questions that you have, ask away."

"Abrupt is definately the word..." She rubbed her neck, "I can't really think of anything...But I most likely will come up with millions of them in the next few days. Will I be able to come back here or call you if I have any questions or concerns?"

"Yes, that'll be fine. Or come find me on campus - my lectures continue on for the rest of the week, unfortunately." She rolled her eyes. "Where can I get ahold of you when your Dumyr finally gets here?"

"Oh right..." Rivka nodded, then pulled out a notebook and jotted down a few things, "Here's my dorm phone number, cellphone number, and the number of Professor Erikson's office where I do my workstudy. The best chance of getting ahold of me is using my cellphone." She smiled and ripped the paper out of the notebook, folding it and handing it to Aubri.

Aubrianna took the paper and nodded. "Well, then. Unless you have any further questions...."
