Welcome to Gaia! ::

Along a cobblestone street sits a long, tall brick building with numerous businesses scattered along its front.
Nestled between a beautiful china shop and a delicious smelling cafe, rests a calm little store. The store is average, not nearly as large as the china shop next door, but not smaller than the cafe on its other side.
The door is white with a small, curly-cued sign that reads 'Open', alongside with the symbol for the word 'namaste'. When the door is opened, little wind chimes tinkle softly like fairies announcing a new customer. Incense wafts through the air in invisible clouds, but not heavy enough to cause any discomfort. The whole place feels relaxed, as if it is perpetually a calm spring day inside the store.
The walls and floor are comprised of the same dark wood, and the bookshelves are tall, reaching to the very ceiling and full of books, little statues, bowls of various crystals, little silver trees with jewelry hanging off their branches and various decks of many kinds of cards.
Fluffy cats wander between the shelves, silent except for their squeaky meows when they want to be petted. The ever smiling clerk resides on her high stool behind the counter located right inside the door, like a Queen reigning over her kingdom or a hawk watching for any potential thieves, only the clerk believes in the goodness of all and would never consider someone might actually steal something.
Welcome to the Underground's New Age Bookstore.

Slowing to a stop in front of the bookstore, a dark eyebrow was raised slightly. Corvus entered the store, looking around before getting lost within it's aisles. Everything was so tidy, his eyes skimming the spines of several novels and tomes, until they became fascinated with a girl crouching by a cat. He watched the cat briefly before his eyes were once more enthralled with the girl, finding her actions more intriguing than the felines. He purred softly, mimicking the cat, his hands fumbling idly at his sides.

Corvus narrowed eyes towards the cat, but bent stiffly to pick the feline up. He brought it to his nose, sniffing at it lightly. He looked to Mari, raising a brow before shifting his expression to raise the other brow. "Montegue," he simply said, pressing his lips together.

Corvus set the feline on a random bookshelf, shoving his hands into his pockets before removing a pair of glasses, putting them over his eyes. "Is Montegue edible?" he asked, turning his gaze to the cat once more, raising a brow.

The man turned his seemingly emotionless gaze to her, his lips slowly tugging into a frown. "I suppose I am..." he mumbled, mostly to himself as he walked around the girl. "Forgive me."

He raised a brow at her quick movements, but ultimately his golden gaze rest on her offered hand. He raised his own to it, clasping onto it rather tightly, in an awkward-not-handshake. "Mari, are you edible?"

"What is cannibal?" Corvus questioned, bringing her hand stiffly to his face. He sniffed it lightly, then let his tongue dart across her knuckles. He moved his tongue around in his mouth, tilting his head in thought.

[[LOL WTF?]]
