genessia | 8 Penguins | Action - Backdated to the 29th March

[At the Freestyle/Splash House - Closed to Gou]
[Nagisa should be use to the things that happened here, but yet at the same time it still hurt when it would happen. First it was Rei-chan, now a co-worker was dead. Killed after being kidnapped. It was just horrible to thought what happened. Whenever he was't in the best of moods he would either take Ai out for a walk, or simply sit by the pool by himself, looking at the rather calming water.

He knew the others were out for the time, at least as far as he was aware, so sitting by the pool seemed like the best option. Even more so since Ai seemed to enjoy taking a nap right now.]

[Around Genessia, Fayren or Attleon.]
[When he wasn't at home, he had found himself wondering around, either going to or from work or shopping. At work he served customers as normal, but he wasn't his normal cheerful self. He smiled sure, but that was not a smile he did normally. When he was wondering around, it seemed as though there was something on his mind, but wasn't making it obvious.]

Uh, yeah... Good way to clear ones head.

[Though it really wasn't doing the best job after all. But he was going to keep trying.]

[Levy's brow creased.]

What's on your mind?

[He paused, wondering if he really should say something. Seemed like it would be a good idea after all, right?]

Just... someone I worked with... I heard they died recently.

[Levy's brows furrowed.]

I'm so sorry Nagisa. Who was it?

Her name was Anna. Do you know who she is?

[Because sometimes not everyone knows everyone.]

[Levy shakes her head.]

Not personally, no. I'm sorry Nagisa... I hadn't known she was a friend of yours.

[She'll be back, those who die come back but Levy knows that it might provide very little comfort to tell Nagisa this.]

[He nodded slightly. It was still an awful thing no matter what.]

We aren't close friends, we only talk during work hours, but I guess... I considered her as such.

[Levy gives Nagsia an expression that suggests that she understand the sting of losing someone.]

It’s okay to be sad. Would you like to come in for a drink? I only have water but you can take a look around the shop and see if there is a book you like.

I think water is okay, since I'm not sure you would have the kind of books I would read.

[He was at least trying to smile.]

Really? What books would you want to read?

[She honestly didn't know Nagisa liked any books.]

Do you know what comics and manga are?

[Levy laughs softly.]

Yes, one of my friends really likes them so I collected a few.

[She pushes the door open to her shop and gestures inside.]

I'll show you.

[He nodded slightly as he went to walk in, looking around. He visited now and again, but not often enough to know the ins and outs of the place.]

This place is really huge now I pay attention to it.

[Levy laughs and shakes her head.]

It's been growing. The more people request types of books, the more I carry. Over here.

[She waves at him, pausing in front of a collection of graphic novels and comics.]

This is what I have.

Wow. How did you manage to find so many though?

[He had started to look through quietly. His mind at least not thinking about what he had heard right now.]

I've had the shop for awhile. I've just collected them, I don't ever stop.

[People also help.]

I have a lot of books at home too.

Doesn't it get a bit crowded with the number of books though?

[Unless you live in a mansion or something, in which case then you could get so many books in there.]

Sometimes but I like it.

[It makes her happy to be surrounded by books.]

Books are always there, even when things are rough. Sometimes I use it as a distraction.

[Distractions he can understand if he had to be honest, he had his own for certain things, like what this world seems to like throwing at him from time to time.]

But people are also always there when times are rough.

That's true.

[Levy smiles at him before clapping her hands together.]

Okay. What comics do you like? I have a few super hero ones.

I'll pretty much read anything.

[He wasn't picky when it came to things like that as he managed to pick a couple out before going to get his money.]

Here.

[She pulls Chi's Sweet Home from the shelf.]

This one is about a really cute cat.

[She smiles as he begins to inspect the shelves and pull out books that he might like.]

[He opens the manga going to flip through it. A story about a cat. If ai caught on and understood it would she destroy it? He knew it was a possibility because she did like to chew. Putting it down he was looking at a couple others, pulling them out before placing them to the side.]

I think I picked out enough that I could afford.

[Levy laughs softly and shakes her head.]

Okay. It's 10 red bills per book.

[He had gone and placed the red bills out. He thankfully had more than enough.]

There we go. Sometimes it is nice to be able to have a small amount of spending money.

It's not to much is it?

[She has to keep her prices steady or she wouldn't be able to pay her employees.]

No too much, no.

[At least to him anyway. He couldn't say the same for others.]

I'm glad.

[She smiles brightly.]

Do you need anything else?

[He shakes his head slightly.]

No, this should do. Thanks Levy-chan~
