Alfonse gave a wide grin, excitement flickering in his eyes. "In that case, I will depart. Please do retrieve me when you've finished preparing dinner." Normally, Alfonse would have objected to having his studies interrupted; his stomach prioritized the food, however, and made its authority known every fifteen minutes or so before silencing again. The bony human turned away and began making his way towards the library. Before he was out of earshot, he turned back towards his host. "I owe you my deepest thanks, Miss Aurora. If there ever is something you may need, please don't hesitate to inquire of it."

At that, the genius turned and resumed his stroll to the library. He realized quickly that Aurora was right; it was easy to find. With a child-like excitement in his eyes, Alfonse rushed over to the nearest bookshelf and began searching for any books that may be useful in his endeavor for knowledge. The scientist was quite used to organization, and upon discovering the books were simply organized alphabetically, and not by the Dewey Decimal System-- which Alfonse felt a great fondness for-- the scientist gave an irritated twitch of his eye. No matter, though. He reminded himself that he could organize them all later, with his host's permission. Though, with the lack of electricity, and other modern day conveniences, he wondered briefly if the Dewey Decimal System even existed in this world.

At long last, Alfonse removed a book from the shelf which he thought may be of use to him. It was a thick, heavy book, and would have been reminiscent of a textbook had it a modern-day cover. Alfonse stared at the book in awe, and his eyes flicked over the title, which read Brief History of the World of Terra. The book was, in fact, hand-written, something which surprised Alfonse somewhat as he opened it, and began to read, still standing awkwardly in front of the shelf. When he found it to be of interest, he turned, still reading, and strolled over to sit in a large chair, his legs crossed.

(I'm back I went shopping and saved a pupper!)

(hey)

(Spicey Moomin: We'll be happy to have ya!

Deathlover: That's awesome!

Hiya everybody! Sorry for the delay. I shall be on for the remainder of tonight.)


Peter frowned at that, "Really? I thought it was pretty obvious." He shrugged, "Well, I can promise you that you'll be safe at the castle. Aside from, like, one other guy, I think I'm basically the only human there. And the other guy seems totally nice and harmless. A little nerdy, too."

Aurora smiled at Alfonse's enthusiasm. Peter was hardly ever that enthusiastic about anything at the castle, and he complained of being 'bored' more times than she could count. She didn't understand why people thought of her home as 'boring' or 'primitive'. She wasn't entirely sure what those terms meant, but understood that it was something negative. She was now cooking the fish and, between the loud sizzling and the rich aroma that filled the air, she was unaware that yet another unfamiliar person stood behind her. Boy, would she be surprised if Mako suddenly said something.

Yap)

(Almost finished with this essay, then I'll be on for a bit. )

Hello?)

Alfonse, having read quite a bit of the book he had picked out, was beginning to grow very puzzled. Granted, the story of elves, vampires, and werewolves was entertaining, but the scientist had been fairly certain that this book would be informative. Even the author, whose name seemed quite foreign, had testified that every word in the book was true near the beginning.

For a moment, Alfonse wondered if perhaps the book was correct, and these creatures did inhabit this world. He quickly dismissed the thought, however; giant, dragon-like creatures were one thing, but werewolves? Those certainly didn't exist; Alfonse was certain of it. "There may be som differences in this world, but the laws of physics are clear, and definite in every situation, no matter how far from Earth a world may be," he muttered to himself, toying with the corner of a yellowed page. "People can't simply alter their body in that manner."

Alfonse closed the book, and decided to take it down to Aurora, or,the child whom he had seen before. Maybe one of the two of them would know what to tell him.

(*cackles at the irony and eagerly rubs hands together*)

Catori paced down the corridors, anticipating the dinner. It wasn't often that her friend prepared fish, and the wolf hoped she left enough raw that she could forgo hunting for another day.

Aurora continued cooking in the kitchen. (*coughs awkwardly and pokes Winter* o.o)

Peter nodded, turned and led the way through the forest to the castle. It was easier to find his way back than it had been to find the dragon.

(Time skip to castle?)

Peter laughed with him, "I would ask if you were hungry, but you did eat an entire deer earlier. I don't know if it was more great, or terrifying to watch." He wondered where the others had gone, and how Aurora handled having the nerdy guy show up.

Peter shrugged, "Ah. Well, there's nothing wrong with that." He went on to ramble about what sort of rooms and amenities that the castle had, including the garden, library and REC room. The boy held nearly the same attitude as Alfonse about how primitive everything was, but kept it hidden. He didn't want to offend Aurora, or let on about how advanced his own civilization was.

Sorry)

"That smells good." Mako remarked as he makes his way into the kitchen. Fish happened to be one of his favorite meals. He sniffs the air a few times trying to figure out what kind of fish it was.

(Alfonse, being from Earth, and being a skeptic on nearly everything... well, he's in for a shock. Lol)

Alfonse clutched the book carefully in his hands as he descended the stairs, and made his way back to the kitchen. "Miss Aurora? I hate to intrude." He poked his head into the kitchen, and the rest of him followed. "I simply have a question about the book I've been reading." Alfonse glanced at the other individual who stood in the kitchen, but, as his mind was focused on one thing in particular, he paid Mako little attention. Alfonse set the book down on the wooden table, and proceeded to straighten his sports coat and tie. Although the suit was mostly uncomfortable, it had its advantages. Alfonse had long since discovered that many people were more willing to listen if he was dressed up, and besides, he had a reputation to uphold.

[Is kit short for kitten? Kinda new to this sorry]
