(I'd rather deal with a hurricane than an earthquake. You can prepare for them, and I've been through a bunch of them before.)

Aegis☆. Rowlin smiled handing Evangeline the book. "Well this was quite a successful hunt, don't you agree?" He stated lightheartedly. His eyes turned over to Yan who's expression basically stood with this disbelief. Oh-Isn't she funny? He kept a cheerful expression in order to hide his inner laughter. Being a teacher this whole face acting was a natural thing to him; especially when he needed to remain series, but wanted to laugh badly. "We work as a team right?" He replied to Yan's embarrassment, "Then, consider this a team bonding exercise." He encouraged. He lightly dusted himself off, seeing that where he had found the books had a bit of dust, "Like I said before; we all hide books where we least expect it. The same thing for just about anything. Next time you walk into the store look for all the exclusive deal items, limited edition, special edition whatever; basically anything that isn't normal. Afterwords look behind and especially at the first shelves at the bottom. Most people rather get items above their eye contact, or at eye contact. So you'd be surprised to see what you find." He added with a rather mellow force; it was almost as though he were teaching a lecture. Rowlin now shyly chuckled; especially at the pat on the back. It made him briefly feel like a kid again. Oh if only living as a kid were as simple as it is today.. "T-Thanks Evangeline" He now twiddled his thumbs together like a kid, "A-Actually tea sounds like a fantastic idea..." He muttered softly in agreement.

[ Misty: trust me XD the earthquake was like my worst childhood trauma D: I honestly felt like that was the end lol Auransky : lol it's fine! XD I was just extremely confused like hmm maybe my browser is acting up again, so i refreshed XD but it was still the same! computers sometimes hate people XD] “Great!” Evangeline nodded, turning and stalking back to the kitchen area. “I will go make some. I’m pretty sure we had some hot water from some time ago, so I’ll be right back!” For a moment she also considered asking them which kind of tea they wanted, but after some, if not, selfish consideration, she decided to go with Earl Gray. It was her favourite tea, and quite a common one that most people like, so it was probably the best one to go with. She stopped at the kitchen counter, taking out her tea set from a cupboard above. The hot water thermos to her right was full, so there was definitely enough for some tea. Now to find the tea... Watching Evangeline from the back, Yan set down her two books on the front counter and sat down on the couch in the front room. After calming herself down a bit after her brief moment of being embarrassed, she took a deep breath and leaned back. Just then, she thought of something. “I’m actually surprised you didn’t notice this bookstore before now.” She suddenly said, directing her gaze towards Rowlin, perhaps wanting to break the silence. “I mean… Knowing you for the bookworm that you are."

(That must suck. I'm sure I would've panicked if I lived through Hurricane Andrew when it hit Miami, or Katrina when it hit the Gulf Coast, or SuperstormHurricane Sandy when it hit the East Coast (I guess no one remembers that Florida experienced it first.). Those storms were nasty.)

"Alrighty!" Rowlin agreed at the thought. He watched her head off to make the two; in a kid friendly matter he two finger saluted her, "Best of luck, and try not to burn yourself, okay?" He stated with a slight hint of concern in his voice. "We wouldn't want to see you in pain, right Yan?" He asked lightly.
After seeing her go his attention turned back to Yan. He followed her taking a seat on some of the nearby furnature, "Oh now?" He leaned forward at the question. "Well..." He now thought about it, "I guess I just haven't been as free as I am now. Since I arrived I been put in case after case. So now that I have free time; I been exploring the city." He explained.

[[ Misty: yeah natural disasters are really scary XD Luckily I'm taking a course this year to learn more about them and probably to learn how they occur and stuff~ Can't wait!]] Evangeline heard Rowlin’s remarks but decided she was probably too far in to reply, but she couldn’t help but smile in appreciation. She was used to being alone in this bookstore with her brother, sometimes getting a few customers here that were just interested in getting some books. But this was different. They weren’t just customers, but actual friends that Evangeline felt the need to maintain a relationship with, the people that actually made her day. Diarmaid did so too, but let’s face it, being with a brother every day, it does start to get boring once in a while. She took out a teabag from the container and put it into the teapot, not forgetting to use a filter as well to make it easier to pour later. Then, all that was left was too pour in the water. “Ah well I guess that’s true.” Yan nodded in agreement, things have been busy indeed, being the secretary she should know. “Well then, now’s probably a good time to start relaxing a bit, hmm?” She reached out her arms and stretched. “I doubt there will be cases for a while, so might as well use the time now to have some fun." [[ Auransky: so are we gonna go with that ship? XD]]

Aegis☆. ((I so dig this ship! Oh, all the possibilities that could arise from this LOL "Wait you're how old?")) Rowlin relaxed in his seat; it was a pleasant change of pace. He smiled just at the pure enjopyment he had so far on this day. Now that I think about it.. I really haven't been this laid back since I arrived to the states. It's been case, after case-s-so I really just been following others. His attention turned to Yan, "I guess now is a great time to relax. Though I'm hoping to spend my time getting somewhere, and not being so lost. Otherwise; I just spent my entire time being lost." He shyly admitted.

( @nyctea, I'll add a little post right here just for more information for you to use.)
Parchment....wasn't suppose to close on its on, let alone seal itself. Although Diarmaid was holding the letter in his hand, no crease or thumb marks appeared on outside of the letter. As for the message, tales of kingdoms were studied in the VDA for reference when it came to vampiric courts and past nobility, but the sudden mention of s Forgotten Princess seemed so odd. Nobles didn't not live or serve a purpose in Embra besides for parley or arrangements. And Queens? Queens didn't even attempt to leave their countries. Back to the delivery girl, was her boss she was referring to the Princess or someone else related to her? Or was this just a ruse? Maybe someone in Team Phoenix would know, given they were dealing with....stranger cases at the moment. Or maybe even some of the old books in the VDA's library would help.

[[lol THE SHIP HAS SAILED~ XD I look so forward to how things will develop like ahhhhhhh > ]] Before she walked out, Evangeline remembered to put everything on a nice fancy tea tray. Oh, and don’t forget the cream and the sugar! That was a must for all teas just in case other people like milk tea or sweetened. “Tea’s served!” She carried the tea tray outside and set it down in front of both Yan and Rowlin on the table in front of the sofa, conveniently also setting down all their individual cups and cupholders down on the table as well. Taking a deep breath, Evangeline took the teapot by the handle and filled those cups one by one. By the time she was done, she could see the satisfying sight of hot steam waving in the air. “Oh, and if you want some cream or sugar, you can help yourself.” Evangeline gestured towards the tray and sat down across from the two. She took the lead and took up her cupholder, feeling a sense of tranquility wash over her as the aroma of the Earl Gray filled her nostrils. Ah, wonderful.

Rowlin's gaze turned towards the tray , it was rather shiny, and held an interesting design. "Oh my..." he northwards the table, "the decor, is rather exquisite." He blinked actively, "the tea too steams excitedly. Oh boy I'm really excited!" He stated, taking a cup cautiously, he also mixed in a bit of cream, and slight sugar in the process. "Aye, this is a great way to relax after the book hunt."
He looked out the window to peak at the weather, "still somewhat raining by the looks of it. Aye, all the better for tea!"

"Aye, this is a great way to relax after the book hunt." He looked out the window to peak at the weather, "still somewhat raining by the looks of it. Aye, all the better for tea!" Evangeline and Yan both followed Rowlin’s gaze as he looked out a window, as neither of them noticed the weather at all during this whole time in the bookstore. Secretly, Evangeline felt pleased and perhaps quite relieved that the rain outside was continuing. It meant that she had more time to spend with her two friends. Ack, maybe that was selfish of her, but she did enjoy their time and would hate for herself to spend the afternoon all bored again. Besides, maybe Yan would like to find the other books for her collection. Yan, on the other hand, was actually already quite satisfied when Evangeline and Rowlin helped her find two books. She would actually be happy if she returned with those two books solely. Nevertheless, being a techno geek gamer, she felt quite naked without her computer and wanted to return to her office. Unlike Evangeline, she felt kind of disappointed that the rain was still on. Oh well. Since she was here, she might as well get them all if possible, right? Right.

"It feels slight blizzare to see the sun go down pretty early..." Rowlin took a small drink of his tea. "I'm so used to the sun going down at a later time. W-well today Bing the expedition with rain. However, just noticing that after 7pm the sun is walking off , that just seems so off." He admitted to the two. "Other then that, there's just so much to see. Especially the roads which are frilly swapped, w-well that and cars." He now recalled. "Though nonetheless, I'm glad I haven't been asked to drive at work yet. Otherwise I'd be driving on the opposite end of the road, due to pure habit."

(If you want to bring this to the VDA's attention you can but if you want Diarmaid to work on it alone that is an option. Depending on what you do there might be consequences, you might encounter Anna again, or gain more information on certain subjects. It all depends on what you want do with the letter Diarmaid has. Keep in mind Naomi will be more willing to work with Diarmaid than the rest of the team but she can try to convince them to aid him. All up to you.)

Unlike her two friends, I guess Yan was more the milk tea type. She did enjoy plain tea as well though, it was just that… if she was given a choice, she’d rather go for the milk. “Rowlin, maybe you’d like to tell us more about Ireland?” Evangeline brought up. “I have always wanted to go there, but never got the time or opportunity to.” “Oh yes, please do.” Interested, Yan perked up. She had always been interested in Irish culture as well, since she really liked exploring England when she went there one time. But when she came back, she realized she should have spent more time and explored Ireland as well, because the place just seemed so rich and interesting. It was one of the greatest regrets she had in her life.

Rowlin leaned back in his seat in response to their excitememnt. It almost felt like story time; with him telling the store. Nonetheless it didn't hurt to talk about home. He'd grown up in a smaller town away from the more known or seen portions of ireland. These girls were also interested so it wouldn't bore them.
"Well.." He now began to recall home. "For starters it doesn't compare to the big towering buildings here. Imagine wide open fields, perhaps occasional roads, and hills, and mountains." He paused to hold out a finger, "I didn't grow up in the actual cities; I grew up in the country side; so things are slightly smaller then the bigger cities." He explained. "Ruins of the past, with ocassional castles on the hillsides. SOme rebuilt, others destroyed, some just as if they were kept in that state since their final days. occasional wandering cattle , and just the wind blowing across your face."
His eyes softened, "The woods, all varying and ever green." He rested his chin against his palm. "Right- That pleasant silence that just makes you feel like you are thinking to yourself on the go." He now tilted his head, "Good times indeed."
"T-Though the towns and cities were just as artistic too." HE added. "Some roads, varied from pavement, to rocky stones. Cathedrals, older buildings now used as museums, city halls or churches. A-Aye and we can't forget the color. Color plays a big role in bringing the cities to life. T-Though behind all beauty lies some dark sides too"

( Misty , I'm trying to decide what Selena is going to do since she'll become a key arc point. I have two ideas but either need approval from either you or Rose: Selena is Betrayed/ Vanished that is Lucas's sister or she's a Enerith, a Sorceress who has mastered the power to control the energy around them and others, that is Dalton's sister. In either scenario, she'll be working undercover in one of the VDA missions with Aika. I just need to see which idea would be the better option.)
