Waiting to be Found

[mistery]

(Open for business to alll willing)

"Are you sure it's here?"
"Absolutely."
"But, are you Possitive?"
"Yes...I've seen it here...I know I have..."
"You said the same exact thing on the last floor.
"No, No! I'm cirtain that it's here....I just know it...'
"What are we looking for anyways....?"

That one small question was enough to snap the girl out of her franctic search for the book. It was enough to enrage her too, but that would be a different story....In truth, it would have been enough to enrage anyone, especially if they have spent the whole day searching, but have not come closer to the object. Even the thought of it being here, certainly being here, wasn't helping much at this point of time...

The girl flipped her black and red braids back behind her shoulders in frustration. Why wasn't this working? She knew it was here, she saw it with her very own eyes, and on top of that, she knew no one checked it out...so where was it? With a sigh, she slid onto the floor with her back against the book-shelf, and her eyes looking up at the feret, half hidden by the books.

"Ivy...Right now, I have half a mind to strangle you...." The girl spoke slowly, in an almost sweet voice, as she glared at the ruffled creature.

"But you have enough dicency not to do that. Especially here.' The little creature pointed out in churn .Yes, Ivy was right...but, that was not the only reason why the girl couldn't kill the anoying creature. Though, thte reasons she would rather forget at times.

"Yea, yea...come on...we have to find it...."The girl held up her hand before the creature could ask again. "We're searching for a book. A huge, massive, old book, with dark emrald and black velvet cover, that has silver and gold letters on it."

'huh?" This was the creature's churn to be frustrated. "Koryuun! You don't even know the name?! Ivy glared down at the girl.

"No...'Koryuun admitted with defet. But, keep looking, I'm sure there aren't many books like that here....It's bound to be here...it's just bound... The girl mumbled as her eyes continued to look over the shelf in front of her.

[rincewind]

"Er, ya need some help?"

Alister peered at Koryuun from around the edge of the next shelf, a few science fiction novels under his arm and his mop of hair falling limply across his shoulder as he tilted his head to the side curiously.

"Ya look like ya seen somethin' downright diabolical," he commented, stepping forward and dropping into a crouch. "Whatcha lookin' for?"

[mistery]

(Note for refrence....The girl has a couple of names, so, I'll alternante though them..^-^ Just thought might be good to warn)

Antaina yelped, jumping a little, and banging her head in the prosses...As she heard the guys voice. Breaking one's concentration, can lead to some pottentially painfull, and/or slightly emberassing results. Like right now....

"Owww....."The girl mumbled a little, rubbing the back of her head, as she looked up at the guy. Took her a moment to register what just happened...but, thankfully she quickly recovered. "Oh...Uhh..Well..." Unfotunately, she never got a chance to finish that sentence...

"Yes she does!" Ivy's voice interupted from the top shelf, as she poked her nose out in the open looking down at the guy. "We're looking for some velvet book with shiny letters...If that helps..." Ivy paused looking down at him. Well....there was a guy...might as well attempt to get Antaina intrested..."Who are you anyways?"

[rincewind]

"Ah, sorry 'bout that," Alister said, cringing as she hit her head. "Didn't mean ta startle ya. Name's Alister," he replied, the latter part to Ivy. "I'm a student here. Anyhow... I haven't seen a book like that around. Ya sure you're lookin' in the right place? Summat like that sounds like it'd be in the back somewhere."

[mistery]

Antaina sighed getting up, or rather sliding up the book shelf, still rubbing the back of her head. Though, she smiled a little when he introduced himself and to let him know that it was alright, moments before shooting Ivy a glare.

"In the back? That's odd...I've se....She began, but was once more interupted by the feret.

"Heya Al! I'm Ivy...and that is Koryuun..." The creature introduced herself, and Antaina. Usially, the girl didn't use that name, but, since, Ivy was introducing her, she didn't have much say in the matter. "That's what I told her! But, she didn't listen...anyways....what's in the back?"

[rincewind]

Al? Well, just go with it, I suppose...

Alister smiled at the thought, then answered.

"Well, I don't rightly know what's in the back; never been there meself, y'see. It just seems like the place they'd have one o' those sorta books, y'know?" He shrugged.

[mistery]

Ivy blinked, tilting her head to the side. He got her curious...With a small mischivious smile, if one can call it a smile, Ivy vanished from Kanae's shoulders, appearing instead on Alister's head, with her front paws hanging down on his forehead.

"In that case, I say, Ali Lead the way!"

Realizing what just happened Kanae let out a frustrated sigh shooting a deathly glare at the creature.
"I'm really sorry....about...her...behaiviour....and I can try to get her back down from your head if she's bothering you..." Koryuun paused, glancing around. "But, if you don't mind, could you possibly show us, where that back section is...?"

[rincewind]

"Nah, 's fine," Alister laughed, looking up bemusedly at Ivy. "I like ferrets. Always have." He reached up to scratch Ivy behind the ears, then, rubbing his chin, looked around for a second.

"'S back this way, if I remember right," he muttered, turning back to look at Koryuun and make sure she was following before setting off. After a minute or so of wandering through reference sections, they came to an open doorway leading into a smaller back room.

"Yeah, here we go," Alister said distractedly, going in. "They keep a lotta the obscure stuff back here. Maybe your lost book's in here somewhere?" he shrugged.

[mistery]

Ivy made somewhat of a purring sound when he scratched her, almost like a cat. Her right paw, even twitching slightly in aproval.

"I like him....Koryuun, can we keep him?' Ivy purred as she opened one eye to look at the Girl. Antaina, fallowing close behind, missed a step, as her cheeks flamed in bright red. If they ever got back to their doorms...Ivy is going to die. Slowly, and painfully.

"This is....'She didn't finish her sentence as they walked in. Her jaw droped, and her eyes grew wide as she looked over the part of the library. 'it's amazing....'she finally breathed out, realizing that she was holding it. 'all of the material...the...the...Oh, Wow!' With a wide smile, she took a few steps foorward, hugging Alister. "Thank you!" she sighed before letting go and carifully walking toward some bookshelf.

[rincewind]

"Well, eh--" Alister was cut off as Koryuun hugged him. He froze up for a second, then as she let go, his brain started working again and he turned a little red around the ears. "Ach, it was nothin'," he muttered, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. But within a few seconds he had regained his composure.

"So d'ye always hug guys ya just met?" he bantered.

[mistery]

Koryuun froze in her place, slowly churning around and looking blankly at him. His question repeated a few times in her head before she realized exactly what it ment. When she did, her cheeks became slightly rosy, in emberesment.

"Uhhh....well....not...usially....On occasion...maybe...." She mumbled glancing away. Wow, this is akward. And the worst part, she didn't even realizing that she hugged him, her attention already diracted toward the books.

"Aww....you two are blushing....so cute...." Ivy chuckled still laying on top of Alister's head. Oh, this was too amusing for the little demon.

[rincewind]

Adopting a " >_> " face, Alister poked Ivy with a finger.

"Remember whose head yer sittin' on," he said, although somewhat jokingly. Then he chuckled lightly, scratching his ear and turning his attention back to Koryuun. "'S fine. Understandable, really. Reflexes an' all that," he gave a gave a lopsided smile and shrugged.

[mistery]

Ivy hung down further a bit, her face upsidedown infront of his eyes, with her front paws on his forehead. With a small huff she stuck out her toungue, before wigling back in her place. It didn't really matter, even if he did throw her off, she'd be right back to where she was. Yay, Teleportaition!

Koryuun's blush became a tint darker, as she looked away.
"Uhhh...yea...let's go with that...Reflexes...." This was probably, one of the most akward moments she was able to remember. And there weren't that many of them either...Most of them caused by the little creature on Alister's head.

[rincewind]

Alister stuck his tongue out playfully at Ivy as she stuck hers at him, then gave a quiet laugh, reaching up to his head to pet her some more.

"If ya don't mind my askin', what's in this book, anyhow?" he asked, trying to change the subject and banish the awkward silence. "Sounds like it's either one o' those funny 'Learn t' Cast Love Spells' books, or somethin' really old an' interestin'."

[mistery]

Once more Ivy made the purring sounds, though this time she rubbed her head against his hand. In her opinion, Kanai could learn something from this guy. Such as....Being affectionate and joking instead of trying to threaten and be rude to the feret. Don't take her wrong, Kanai was a very affectionate, and fun person, just not toward her creature.

"Well...Actually...I'm not sure...."Kanai admited. "I mean I know that it's not the love potion one....'' She glanced around with a soft smile, "Though, I'm not possitive about the information it retains aside from being old...and wrinkely...and dusty....'

"Aye...And don't forget....Velvety Soft..." Ivy added in grimly.
