Who: Lavi and you! (One closed prompt for Niles a.k.a deniles)
What: Lavi goofing off and possibly trying to get some sort of work done
When: June 10-11
Where: The Library and the Near Shore, Odin's Temple
Warnings: Niles is his own warning label.


1. Let’s Shop Till We Drop (The Near Shore)

[Money.

Lavi isn’t too surprised that there was still something out there that would require actual payment to buy stuff. It’s unfortunate, too, since Lavi’s been eying a nice-looking scarf that’s practically screaming his name.

Going out to the Near Shore was new to him, too, since Lavi’s sure that it’s too dangerous to get too close to the humans.

But right now: he needed to find some way to get money if he wanted to buy that scarf.

Guess it’s time to do a little job hunting.]

2. Learning From Our Gods (Library | Far Shore)

[Anyone who has seen Lavi’s latest post on the network would easily be able to find the redhead in the library, scanning through every book that he can get his hands on.

It’d be a surprise for anyone to see piles of books surrounding him.

Lavi’s currently hiding behind a wall of books he made, scraps of papers surrounding him as he jots down notes.

Anyone who ventures close enough would see that it’s just books on general history, countries, and even some languages.

Too bad someone will need to find a way to actually call his attention, though.]

3. A Date with a Stranger (Odin's Temple | Far Shore) (Closed to Niles)

[The tenth. Odin's temple, 8 pm. Don't be late.

It was the text that savidicus had sent him, arranging their 'date' so to speak. Lavi's not sure if he even wants to call it a date, but his curiosity was piqued and he wanted to meet this other shinki.

What's even better was Lavi's lack of knowledge if there was any sort of special protocol for entering another god's territory, but he couldn't let the man wait now, could he?

A quick scan as he tries to pinpoint anyone out before he calls out:]

Savidicus?

[ That's an impressive collection of books that he's gathered. It'll be a hassle to put them back later, he guesses.

Because D2 isn't afraid of being invasive, he pulls out a chair and sits down beside Lavi. When he's not noticed at all, he starts wondering what's such an interesting read, and leans forward against the table and tilts the book a little with a finger, so he can see the cover. It's not exactly polite, but he's trying to be a little subtle so he at least don't make him lose his place in the book. ]

[lostinshadows]

[When the book is tilted, Lavi makes a sound that's not exactly pleased.

It draws his attention over to D2, at least, a faint look of annoyance masking his face. Though, he does appreciate how he was at least trying to be careful so he doesn't lose his place.]

Did you need something?

[smilingbullet]

[ He didn't expect it to be entirely well received, but at least he didn't blow up over such little, which he considers a small victory. ]

Nope,

[ He removes his finger from the boon, and straightens up. ]

just wanted to see what you were so engrossed with.

[lostinshadows]

Couldn't have found a better way?

[But the annoyance fades and Lavi sits up straight.]

How long have you been sitting there?

[smilingbullet]

Mmh, maybe? If I had thought it through a bit longer.

[ There are always different options, you just don't always see them. ]

Couple minutes, a bit longer than that, I ain't really counted.

[lostinshadows]

[A head tilt.] Thank you at least for not making me lose my place.

[Lavi gazes at him curiously.]

So not too long then.

[smilingbullet]

No problem, sorry I disturbed you.

[ He could at least apologize, it's good manners. ]

Not very long, no. I just got curious.

[lostinshadows]

[A dismissive gesture.] It's fine. I probably could've used the break, anyway.

[He grins.]

So, what brings you around here?

[smilingbullet]

Yeah? That’s a relief then.

[ He shrugs with a smile on his lips. ]

I was thinking I’d see if I could find anything I knew about or something I could learn. Forgetting the past is fine but some things might be good to know, you know?

[ Though, he doesn’t know if this guy is a god or a shinki, so he might not know. ]

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi tilts his head a bit before he gestures to the books around him.]

Feel free to take a book then and see what you can learn.

[Whether or not that's his attempt of trying to figure out if Lavi is a shinki or not, Lavi decides not to point anything out that he is.

Maybe he'd learn something that way?]

[smilingbullet]

Thanks, that'd be great.

[ He's not in a great hurry, though. ]

But you sure have gathered a lot of books. Are you researching anything in particular? Or just doing some light reading?

[lostinshadows]

A little bit of both.

[A glance over at him.]

Besides, reading's fun. You can learn a lot from these.

[smilingbullet]

It looks mostly light.

[ Said with a chuckle because there's a whole lot of books here.

He picks up a book at random, and it turns out it's a dictionary. ]

Yeah, and cramming information in might be a good way to spend time here.

[lostinshadows]

It is.

[A grin.]

I could spend hours in here just reading.

[He glances at the dictionary before he turns back to his own book.]

It beats having to ask more people questions about this place, at least.

[smilingbullet]

You must enjoy reading a lot, then.

[ But learning is pretty fun. ]

Mm, there are some questions that might not have any answers found in books though.

[lostinshadows]

One of the greater joys in the world.

[Lavi smiles.]

No, but it's a good place to start.

[smilingbullet]

It's nice that there are so many books here then.

[ He can be happy for a stranger. ]

Yeah, that it is. The other stuff can be filled in as one goes.

[lostinshadows]

It's a library.

[He's still not sure what to think about you yet, dude.]

Exactly.

[smilingbullet]

I know that.

[ The brightest of smiles. ]

[lostinshadows]

[A blink. Two blinks.

Then:]

You're a strange guy.

[smilingbullet]

[ He grins at that. ]

I suppose so, but I think that might be pretty fun.

[lostinshadows]

You think so?

[smilingbullet]

Yeah, normal's fine but I like weird too.

[ He's pretty sure. ]

[lostinshadows]

Weird is fitting.

[Lavi closes the book and opens up a new one.]

[smilingbullet]

I suppose it is!

[ He clears his throat awkwardly when he's hushed because he spoke a little too loud. ]

Everything is a bit weird but it's cool.
