Told you not to follow me in here.’[break][break]

Normally, Angelo was not one to tell Latias where she could and couldn’t go. It was one of those things that just felt wrong, so contradictory, to suggest something that went against her free nature. He didn’t even keep her in a pokeball, the very thought of it sitting unsettling and bitter on the tip of his tongue. [break][break]

This time however, as books scatter on the floor in a noisy cacophony after a wide wingtip collides into a shelf, Angelo thinks he was justified in warning her against entering the library with him. [break][break]

Something flushed and warm tingles into his mind, but it’s not his emotions. Not his embarrassment. Latias croons meekly in apology for her blunder down their psychic connection, still invisible after stubbornly insisting on following Angelo into the musty, narrow lanes of bookshelves. [break][break]

Y'know, I thought you were supposed to be graceful… What happened?’ He thinks with harmless mirth, crouching down to begin picking up the old tomes that had been scattered at his feet. Mentally, he shoos Latias back from helping him. [break][break]

Last thing they’d need was for someone in this old, quiet place to see books floating back onto the shelves. Better to make it look like he was the uncoordinated one. [break][break]

In his worn boots and aviator goggles forgotten atop unkempt brunette hair however, it’s probably not too far an assertion to make – Angelo doesn’t look like the studious type.

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"]Libraries were where Ruby spent most of her free time. A place where she could earnestly relax, sit down on one of the many comfortable chairs and just sit and read in the silent building. Ever since she had befriended her Hatterene years and years ago, silence had become something that she enjoyed, almost as much as her Pokemon did. There was a comfort found in it that didn't exist when people felt like they had to fill some auditory void.[break][break]

Which is precisely why the sound of books scattering to the floor managed to gather so much attention. Blinking in surprise, Ruby placed her bookmark within the book she was reading, only to place it on the massive stack she had right next to her. Research took so much time and effort, but at the very least learning new things was enjoyable. Regardless, as quiet as a mouse, Ruby stood to her feet and made her way over towards the aisle where the sound had come from. [break][break]

Her eyebrows slowly raised as she looked at the sight, only to softly smile at the sight. Looked like nothing more than an accident. Suddenly, betraying her incredibly quiet walk and movement, she spoke up. Hopefully, she didn't startle him. "Hey, um, do you need help?" [break][break]

Even as she asked, she wouldn't exactly wait for an answer. Kneeling down, she'd pick up a few books that had managed to slide all the way down the aisle. Only then she'd finally take a good look at him, just with the way he was dressed alone she could imagine he was a man on a mission. "You uh, looking for anything?" Even as she spoke, she'd reach out and hand the books in her hands back over to him.

Angelo would’ve been more startled at the young woman’s silent approach, wouldn’t have noticed her until she spoke even, if he didn’t have a secret pair of eyes keeping watch over his shoulder. [break][break]

Still, blues would only blink up towards the library patron when she parts her lips to engage him, fingers stilling over a book spine as he makes to collect the scattered dozen into a pile. “Don’t worry about it, it’s my mess. Wasn’t looking where I was going.” Behind him, having carefully manoeuvred herself so as to not get in the girl’s way, Latias lightly headbutts his spine.[break][break]

Angelo resists the urge to crack a wide grin or roll his eyes. This was the thanks he got for taking the fall for her?[break][break]

Regardless, it appears that the girl with the pink hair is keen to help and unlike the invisible legendary, Angelo is not familiar enough with her to shoo her away. So instead, he takes the fallen books with a smile of gratitude and a simple, “thanks.” [break][break]

As they stack the tomes into a pile, Angelo wonders if she’s a librarian here. With her bookish appearance and eagerness to assist, even going so far as asking what he was looking for, he’s inclined to think so. She looks right at home here, on first glance, nestled between the bookshelves. [break][break]

Whereas Angelo had always felt like he was in a foreign environment when scouring libraries during his university days. Silence too enforced, space far too enclosed, for him to be completely comfortable. [break][break]

Sort of? I don’t have a specific title in mind,” Angelo answers her, standing up to begin slotting the books back on the shelf in the order that he thinks they fell from. “You wouldn’t happen to know if the section on legendary pokemon is nearby, would you?

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"]He was looking for sections on legendary Pokemon? Her curiosity was instantly piqued. Sure, in this day and age they seemed to be everywhere, it only made sense for the average person to want to know more about them. Hell, she even owned one herself! Bea her Urshifu was always protective of her. Even then, she still didn't know too much about their origin. After all, she was here doing some research on legendary Pokemon themselves. [break][break]

"Oh, of course, Sir. Though admittedly, many of the books from my experience, tend to be rumors, stories, and fables as compared to like, documented accounts. But maybe there will be something you could use?" She'd stand up, taking a quick peek at the books he placed back on the shelf as she fixed the arrangement of a few of them. [break][break]

As Ruby began to walk, she'd speak quietly. "They are kind of scattered about, based on their contents. Some are located in the Social Sciences section, and they tend to read more like fairy tales, and legends as compared to outright truth." Sure enough, she would point to each general section as she walked, clearly having spent a large amount of time in the Library. [break][break]

"Others that appear more vague and cryptic are listed in the Generalities section. That's uh... over there." Sure enough, as she pointed she would also be pointing at where she had been sitting, the massive stack of books sitting by the chair. Some of which, given Ruby's psychic preference might prove interesting to the young man. "And over there, is the history section. Usually, there you can find books on legendary pokemon that have incredibly documented relations with their regions. Like, the weather trio here in Hoenn."[break][break]

She would pause for a second, only for her lips to purse together as she realized it was probably a lot more confusing to explain to someone else. "And... the religion section, for er, certain writings. I'm sorry Sir, I forgot just how spread out it all was."

Sir. It wiggles foreign into his ears, a strange sound. For a moment, Angelo considers asking the young woman to repeat herself. He must have misheard her because he was concentrating on the information that she was helpfully sharing, right? [break][break]

(She calls him Sir again later and Angelo realises, with a masked shudder down his spine, that he hadn’t just had wool in his ears. Was he that old?)[break][break]

As Little Miss Librarian gives him the ins-and-outs of the organisation system they operated under, as well as fixing his attempt at tidying, Angelo’s gaze follows her gestures. Picking out keywords, like memorising clues that will bring him to a hidden treasure, and nodding along.[break][break]

Hey, now. Don’t apologise,” a quiet laugh bubbles off his lips, giving her a quirked eyebrow and a lazy smile. Kind. “I’d be lost down these aisles for a week without you.” A bit of an exaggeration, maybe. But a harmless one. “Thanks, by the way. I'll see what I can dig up.”[break][break]

Angelo proceeds to spend the next twenty minutes searching the Social Science and History sections without success. Then the religion department, just on the off-chance the Eon Duo were viewed more like deities in Hoenn, as opposed to guardian figures like in Alto Mare… [break][break]

But it looked like the spaces where books had once been were now vacant. The pilot’s brow pinches, scanning along the shelves one more time in case something had been put back into the wrong place, before his attention shifts towards a certain, fully-stocked table. [break][break]

Just the Generalities section left… [break][break]

Not interrupting you am I, Miss Librarian?” Angelo’s voice would appear from behind the mountainscape of carefully picked tomes. It would follow a clearing of his throat that, for all intents and purposes, appears to be for the girl’s benefit to announce his presence – while in reality, it’s a subtle cough to warn Latias from plucking a book from the bottom of her pile. [break][break]

I don't think the books on the Eon Duo want to be found. You might need to give me a clue where they're hiding.” He smiles.[break][break]

The irony, as one of them floats invisible to the naked eye beside him, is not lost on Angelo.

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"]As the young man proceeds off to search for his books, Ruby would give him a soft smile and a polite wave before heading back over towards her seat. Legs gently tucked underneath herself, Ruby once again picked up her book to continue to read. She had once again got sucked into her research, the mysteries of the world only too intriguing to her. [break][break]

Sure enough, another distraction pulled her from her research. The young man from before seemed like he was still having trouble. However, she had no idea what to focus on first. Miss Librarian? Eon Duo? Did she really look like the librarian? Did she look old enough for that already? Her wide eyes blinked up at Angelo with confusion for a few seconds before eventually speaking. [break][break]

"Oh."[break][break]

That was it, that was all she got. She quickly cleared her own throat to continue. "I, um, sorry Sir, I'm not one of the librarians. Just, uh, someone who comes here way too often." Ruby would laugh embarrassedly, slowly placing her book down on top of the stack she had once more. "And please, you can call me Ruby." [break][break]

It was only after the librarian conversation was handled, did Ruby focus on his actual question. Eon Duo. The Legendary Pokemon of Latias and Latios. Quite honestly, she had very little knowledge about them except their names, which was precisely why a book with them as the subject was sitting within her pile. Knowledge really meant everything, when it came to all the surprises Hoenn seemed to enjoy throwing their way. Of course, even she had no idea how much information within was accurate. Such was the case when dealing with beings of myths and legends of yore. [break][break]

"Just, ah, one second." She'd slowly split her stack of books, pulling out one book from the pile and placing it atop her lap for now. "Ah, there we go. Apologies, I was doing some research on my own." Sure enough, any investigation of the rest of the books remaining in her pile would reveal the fact that it was all about legends and myths and similar things. One oddity would be a large atlas of Hoenn, however. [break][break]

"I uh, Already checked it out in my name. But it was going to be a bit before I read it anyways. If you were planning on staying in the library for a while, you could definitely borrow it for a bit. I think. I wasn't planning on going anywhere."

Oh.”[break][break]

The expression is mimicked, although the laughter of embarrassment is not. Instead, Angelo simply smiles lazily, unabashed by his mistake. There’s no attempt to rectify it. “Well, Ruby... As there's no sight of an actual librarian around here, I think you make for a good unofficial one.” She’d been more present and helpful than any employee thus far; not like Angelo had encountered, or looked for one, for that matter. [break][break]

A labour-roughened hand is raised, palm flat. [break][break]

And uh, you can drop the sir. Just Angelo is fine.Please. [break][break]

As the not-librarian shuffles through her mountain of books, rummaging and reorganising, Angelo waits quietly. Cerulean blues blink slowly over the spines, catching sight of titles emblazoned along old worn leather that, mostly, strikes him with the opinion that she’s quite knowledgeable – or at least keenly studious – for her age. Yet Angelo’s gaze lingers for a heartbeat longer than the others on an atlas, curiosity piqued. He’d been pouring over a lot of those himself, as of late. [break][break]

He doesn’t get a chance to check whether it’s a version he’s scoured himself, before Ruby presents him with what he’d been looking for.[break][break]

Latias, unbeknownst to the humans, silently peers over the girl’s shoulder at the tome in her collection. [break][break]

Ah, you're a star. I won’t keep it from you for long, promise.” There’s a smile on his lips as he stretches out a hand to accept the book in Ruby’s possession; truthful in his admission. He had no intention signing up for library card to take the book back home. [break][break]

It was more likely that, had Angelo found it on his own, he’d flick through the contents while standing in front of its bookshelf… Or smuggle it out under his jacket. [break][break]

D’you mind if I sit here?” He asks, already pulling out a chair with a hand curled around the backrest; chair legs squeaking as it drags along the wooden floorboards. Louder than it should, as all noises do when conducted in a library. [break][break]

Angelo grimaces.

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"]Ruby had a habit of examining people. Not out of any negative intent, but one could only focus so long on studying emotions for your own benefit before others became a bit easier to read as well. She had always found it easier to trust those with rough hands, it usually meant they were hard workers, something she could sympathize with. Not to mention, the dismissal of formality, preferring just his name. All of that already told her so much. She'd simply repay him the smile as she handed the book over towards him. [break][break]

"Oh, of course you can-" That sound, that squeaking sound caused a grimace of her own. An accident, of course, but still. Ouch. If Whisper were out of her Pokeball at the moment, she'd be giving Angelo death stares. Shaking her head, Ruby eventually continued. "Ahem. Yeah, of course. I'm always down for a bit of company." [break][break]

Once again, her eyes would curiously gaze at the book as she worked up the nerve to ask. Most people didn't seem to research legendary pokemon unless it was their line of work, they had one, or they had experienced one. Of course, there was the odd few that were simply genuinely curious, but at this rate with Legendary pokemon all over Hoenn, she would be presumptuous to presume there was indeed nothing! [break][break]

"That said, I have to admit I am a bit curious. What caused the interest in the Eon Duo? I'll admit that I don't know that much about them, myself."[break][break]

While Angelo had been truthful in his promise, as soon as she had decided to ask what she had, his answer to Ruby’s question was destined to be of the less honest variety. [break][break]

His lips are wetted with half-truths. White lies sitting on the tip of his tongue with practiced, casual ease. [break][break]

I guess it’s more like… I’ve always been interested in them,” sitting down in the chair, its old frame creaking, Angelo shuffles closer to the table as he begins. Leading with authenticity. His gaze drags down to the book placed on the surface before him, calloused thumb absentmindedly brushing over the worn joint in the cover; well-loved, maybe. [break][break]

Perhaps it was a sign that they were as beloved here, as they were in a land of peaceful canals. As they were, cradled down deep, in his chest. He liked to think that was the case.[break][break]

Where I’m from – Alto Mare – the Eon Duo are seen as kind of, guardians of the city. There’s tales and monuments of them, they're celebrated… Even some of our traditions started from the stories they left behind in our history books.” [break][break]

Opening the book, Angelo scans over the first page with its fading ink and yellowing paper. It’s old, weathered in its age, yet certain strokes in the penmanship draw him in. Sparkling with all the allure of gold. [break][break]

They’re important there, but here… Well, let's just say you’re not the only one that's told me that they don’t know much about them.” A rough fingertip delicately traces an outline of ink, over sharp wings that still sit crisp on the page. Eternal. [break][break]

The pilot’s eyes, Salamence scale blue, journey across the stretch of oak towards the academic. Fixing her with a look that's dragon fire warm, in its beneath the surface passion – genuine. [break][break]

I was curious what Hoenn remembers them for.” [break][break]

The best lies often come from places where there’s a sprinkling of truth, he finds… [break][break]

Or maybe I’m just a bit homesick lately.” As subtle as the change in focus he attempts to weave, Angelo’s smile turns awkwardly crooked. “You know much about Alto Mare, Ruby?

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"]Alto Mare. It seemed like it was a lifetime away from here, but she listened with growing curiosity. Her eyes were wide as she listened, clearly quite focused on his words. It was so interesting to hear all about how life was elsewhere, but even more interesting was how the legends had become so commonplace that they were regarded as actual guardians of the city.

She had practically stopped reading at this point, much more intrigued with what he had to say than the boring book of myths she had heard a thousand times. And then, he mentioned being homesick. A soft pang of familiarity burned within her chest for a second, memories of home were still quite strong and she couldn't help but grow a tiny bit homesick herself. [break][break]

As he asked Ruby a question, she was quick to clear her voice and speak. "Only a little bit! I know it's in Johto, and it's a beautiful city with like, tons of canals! I always imagined going someday when I was younger, but I guess I've kind of accidentally found myself settling down here." She'd chuckle quietly, though it was without the same level of mirth as she had before. [break][break]

"If I'm honest, I think Hoenn in the past, was too distracted with its own legends. You wouldn't believe how many of these books have like, entire chapters focusing on the battles between Kyogre and Groudon, and Rayquaza breaking them up like some babysitter telling them to go take a nap." She'd give him another soft smile as she spoke, simply closing her book and setting it aside for now. [break][break]

"Alas, my research is proving a bit... more elusive, I guess. Sure would help if I knew anything about what I was searching for, but I guess that's just how this all works." She'd let out a soft sigh, shaking her head a bit. Perhaps it would only prove too complicated, or risky, to talk about her own goals. Quickly shifting onto another topic, she spoke up again. [break][break]

"What was life like in Alto Mare? I'm sure it's nothing like the tourist depictions of it, anyway."[break][break]

A soft breath of amusement exhales through his nose, lips quirking into an amused grin. “Looks like we’re both stuck in the same boat, then.” It’s a comment made in jest, as Angelo peers up at Ruby beneath his lashes, gaze downcast where he’d previously been scanning the book. “Hoenn managed to drag me in, too.” [break][break]

But there’s nowhere else he’d rather call home. [break][break]

Humming in contemplative thought, he returns Ruby’s soft smile more out of instinct then anything else as she talks about her own opinion on Hoennian legendaries. Gaze flickering over a couple of pages, before something catches his eye. He leaves the page open, fingertips lingering over the page as a marker. [break][break]

I’d always thought the Eon Duo had their origins in Hoenn. Seen a couple of old shrines here and there while travelling, at least.” [break][break]

Although he could be wrong. They were elusive, after all. Even Alto Mare’s tales simply depicts the pair – or in some cases, the flock – travelling to their humble little land from a faraway place. [break][break]

But you’ve got a point. Even if they did, it’s kind of hard to outshine the Tantrum Trio. Intense battles do make for better page turners,” more so than a pair of free roaming dragons, wrapped up in their adventures and peaceful endeavours.[break][break]

Although, even if Angelo hadn’t grown up in a city that celebtrated the latter’s heroics, something would still draw his attention towards them. They’re kindred spirits – familiar souls.[break][break]

Away from the city center…? Peaceful. Slow. In a nice kind of way, like everything runs at its own pace,” he adds, smile fond as he looks over the stretch of oak and books. It was a great city, just one that Angelo had long grown out of, long ago. Like how his tiny Magikarp could no longer fit in the cramped canals, its form now too serpentine and ravenous, neither could he. [break][break]

Apart from in August, that’s when the Tour starts. Can't even move past people on every canal edge…” [break][break]

Angelo trails off, cerulean gaze peering over his table-companion’s shoulder, pulled to track a curious feeling. A spark of intrigue that, at least this time, is not of his own making. [break][break]

Don’t you dare… Latias[break][break]

Ruby would feel a ‘breeze’ brushing through the ends of her short, pink hair…
