So there he was. Cully was bored and damn, he had standing there since the dawn of time. Well, it seemed that way, anyway. The redhead was leaning on the front counter of 'Ye Olde Wande Shoppe' as he liked to call it, elbows on and a comic book between his arms. While he would rather it be a science text, this was the only thing he could think of to read.
When someone walked into the shop, his head shot up, slightly flustered, and a grin crept over the round features. "Welcome to the Wand Shop!"
Did he ask them to touch the book now? Later? Whatever. It would happen when it happened. It would come with time.

The someone who walked in was a young blonde haired woman, standing about 6-8 feet tall-one could never tell as she wore stillettos-with cheerful blue eyes and a friendly smile. She was mainly just coming by to visit her friend Kishi at headquaters but for a change there was actually someone in the wand shop-and she didn't want to go straight into headquarters yet anyway after what'd happened there before. So here she was walking in. And there was a person behind the counter who looked normal-by Rouge's standards anyway.
"Hiya!" hse said cheerfully waving to him. "So the wand shop actually has a living person in it for a change. Yeah. I've never seen a single person in here through all of the times I've wandered through."

Cully blinked a few times as this modern day giant wandered up to him and spoke. Were those... His gray eyes tumbled down to her shoes, eyebrows arching and a grin lit up on his face again.
Tall women were fun. He was a tall guy! Not a six foot eight but he was six-foot-something indeed. So the Irishman leaned back, letting her talk until she was finished. It was easy to do; he had practice with his mother. Chatty Kathys, the lot of them.
"Hello," He responded again, finally, fingers raising in a tinkling wave. "That's why I was hired - to be the living wand-pusher around here. Ianna said as much, I'm afraid. But hey!"
There was a dramatic pause. Dun dun dun.
"As long as you're here and a regular, come check out this book." It was given a fond pat, lips curled into a familier grin.

Rouge thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure thing!" she said cheerfully walking over. "So long as it doesn't take long. I have to get home to babysit in a few hours and I wanted to give Kishi her gift." the woman said, indicating a bag to her side.
Walking over Rouge looked at it. "Oooooh big book! What's in it?" she asked, reaching out a hand to touch the cover, planning on opening it. Chatty Kathy she may be but she was a curious one. She inherited that from her dad.

"Nope. It should only take a second to touch the book," He assured her, smiling pleasently still. So what if she had kids? Or knew Kishi - he knew Kishi! Sort of. Heard of her.
The minute that Rouge touched the book, an invisible wind picked up in the shop, blowing the cover open, pages rustling and blowing about until it landed on a well worn page. On the page was a sketch of a strong looking wand with an oval-shaped stone on the end and a snake wrapped around it. Detailed, lovely. Below it read:
"Gorgon. Wand ID 00040. A Soul has been trapped within the confines of the wand. Congratulations, you have become the next guardian to take on the task of raising it from infancy to greatness. We, Ianna and I, have the upmost faith in you to complete your task dutifully. Best of luck,
Matilda."
He smiled, cheerfully, once more. His head tilted to the side, resting his chin on his palm. "So! You have a new little wand. Congrats."

"Neat. Is this one of the wands that becomes a kid? And what does Gorgon mean?" she asked, cocking her head to the side.
Rouge had recently been picked as a "guardian" to another child-a reborn god from her home world. And she'd been stuck informing others of their guardianship-so the term was fresh in her mind. Though if this was one of the wands that became a kid then Diyaka may have to be informed.

"Yeah, that's one of those kids that come from a wand." Cully was pleased. She was accepting it! All the other people so far had been doubting and mistrusting. Bah to them. THis one at least took what was given and ran with it.
"I dunno what a gorgon is, though. I'm sure we have a few books on creatures or you can always look it up somewhere?" He offered, lips quirking into a faint grin. "We can check out the HQ, if you want."
