Calena grumbles to herself "I will be there," she says. "Outside the library after evening meal, I will meet you."

For some reason he felt the need to move silently down the corridors, perhaps to avoid as many guards as possible. Taavi had a rough layout of the castle in his head but the library was still not where he had thought it would be. He was coming to another intersection, and was about to go left when he walked straight into
Zelente. The resulting collision knocked him back and he lost his balance, hands flying out for something to grab onto before he hit the ground with a dull *thud*.
"Ow, pardon me," He said, picking himself up off the floor, "wasn't watching where I was going, are you all right?"

Chuck eyes Calena a long moment, then tilts over and does the unusual...purses the lips of his muzzle and presses them against her's before shifting, pivoting on the balls of his feet and dropping to all fours, slinking out of the Library without another word

"whew! Hello milady Im Malbi the Magnificent! Who was that large scary dogman with teeth? I thought he was going to eat me! Say have you seen this gnome joke book I have been looking for? I was hoping to use it to spruce up my routine for this evenings entertainment which I am part of...say why did the dogman kiss you?" Looks at the rather interesting lady with goggles

Azymyth frowned as his discovery is quickly drowned out by the scientific talk between the two, so he takes a moment to let them finish, trying to be polite. As he watches it become something of a more personal nature, it brings pangs of his lost love back to him as it's still been less than a year since her death.

Shaking his head, he lets out a sigh and then suddenly smiles faintly and sets the book on the table, leaving it open to the page he was looking at.

Giving a pleasant grin, he murmurs, "I'll leave you two alone..." before exiting the library long before Calena and Chuckles' exchange is done.

Azy walks down the hall to a window which has been left open to keep dust from settling. Perching himself on the sill, he reaches into one of the belt pouches at his side, producing a harmonica... But how could he fit a harmonica that long in the pouch? Magic no doubt and it would make any observer wonder what else he kept on him...

Gazing out past the town to the plains beyond, he lets out a wistful sigh before putting the harmonica to his mouth and starts playing a gentle tune.

Cal stares after Chuck long after he's gone, then blinks slowly, as if she's waking up from a deep sleep. She turns her head, focusing on Malbi gradually, then says faintly, "I'm...I'm sorry. Did you say something?"

To those that look upon the pages open on the book, they will see a picture of a woman that looks like what those of a modern day Earth would consider to be an angel: long blond hair; large, white-feathered wings; and a flowing white robe. However these are not Earth angels, nor are they D&D celestials. The name given above the picture reads the name Jyhadian. When one actually gazes upon the text beside the picture, one would see that Jyhadians supposedly live in a city high within the sky and were beings closely attune to Saisu, Goddess of Light, giving them access to almost miracle quality abilities.. including the susposed resurrection of the dead.

Now any educated person would give such an entry a very odd look because, quite frankly, there's never been talk about such a race, EVER. There may have been records of winged, non Anthral beings somewhere, but for the most part it was considered a hallucination and never officially recorded.

Reading further reveals why. These Jyhadians have been said to have disappeared off the face of the universe about 3000 years ago. With that fact in mind, why would it interest Azymyth so much? Did he miss that fact? Does he see this as some reason for hope? Does he just want to get 'touched by an angel'? Hard to say.

+++++

For those who listen, the faint tune of harmonica music can be heard through the halls and just barely inside the library.

Knows nothing of the book, save for his hearing Azymyth's Keanu Reeves style "Whoa"...so is more attracted to the irritating sound of a harmonica being played than anything else...Chuck exits the building, following the sound, and ends up closing in on Azymyth from behind like a shark trailing a particularly noisy dolphin

Azymyth is much more elven than human in his bloodline so those semi-large ears of his pick up possible movement behind him so his shifts himself a bit that his back is against the sill so he has a better chance of seeing whoever might be coming his way. He doesn't stop play however, but does soften the tone and volume a bit so that he can be sure his senses aren't just playing a trick on him in his somber condition.

Azymyth continues playing in this softer tone, now somewhat aware of an audience but doesn't give any outward acknowledgement. The notes he plays have a very somber, mellow feel to them... almost sad in a way.

While it is true that music is supposed to soothe the savage beast, Chuckles seems, from where he's sitting, to not be particularly moved. Possibly he's some variety of music critic. Possibly he's tone deaf and doesn't hear all of the underscores and melodies. Perhaps he has a heart of stone. Or perhaps the harmonica has the effect, to hypersensitive animal ears, all the allure of an over-amorous tomcat singing along to bagpipe quartet all playing different songs. Either way, Chuckles eyes the harmonica balefully, giving it the harshest of looks

Calena still looks a bit fuzzy, bringing one hand to the back of her neck and rubbing it. "Well I...I...think," she begins, "I was working on some sort of...energy containment unit. Or maybe it was a pair of boots. Perhaps automated fur clippers...?" She shakes her head. "Sorry, I'm suddenly feeling a bit lost still.

If there's one thing his old teacher Kaije taught him, it was Know your audience. Feel their emotions... And right now, Azy's getting some really nasty ones. The uncomfortably glare he notices out of the corner of his eye doesn't really seem to help much either.

So he stops playing and slowly lowers the harmonica from his mouth and setting it on his lap. Not turning to look at his observer yet, but instead gazes a bit out the window, which from the way the castle is build, could almost be a second story drop. He murmurs softly, "Don't like the Blues, I take it?"

Turns to face Chuckles this time, giving him an even look, "Quite the stereotypical view for someone who sounded so knowledgable earlier. Bards play what the feel. I had picked this up in my recent travels and thought it conveyed my feelings best at the moment." Without adding to that, he turns back against the sill and careful puts the harmonica away. "Besides, at the moment, my lute isn't in the best working order."

"Magical? what kind of magical forces some are more unstable than others.

Azymyth is quite confident his balance, and since the sill -is- 3 feet wide, he feels he's pretty safe. Nonetheless, he moves a bit closer to the inside and turns his body so that he is completely facing Chuckles. Reaching into another tiny pouch, he pulls out a good sized lute that despite a little wear and tear, looks perfectly fine. All the strings are there, all look nice and tight, etc.

Half display, half just looking at it himself, he says, "Not so much busted as much as it has an enchantment on it that prevents me from playing any but one specific song on it..."

Calena smiles and leaves the gnome to his work, murmuring about how she thinks she'll catch a nap before she has dinner, then come back here to work. She tidies up her worktable, then stands and heads out. She spots Azy and the hyena man farther down one of the halls she goes down, then frowns and heads another direction, not wanting to face the so-called Chuckles at the moment. Her rooms are in a small boarding house in the city, since she could never feel comfortable staying in a palace. Cal greets her landlady warmly, and makes her way up to her rooms.

Considers Azymyth's apparent stream of gibberish words for a moment. Then after considering the possibilities with a surprising amount of restraint, Chuckles states simply, "Usually harmonica playing is a 'stuff the harmonica down the player's throat' punishment crime on the first offense, but I'm...not in the mood today."

The hyena-man blinked...he did just say that. Hrm...strange. Fuzzy thoughts. A moment later, as if casting off a role, Chuckles rises to his hand legs and walks away, rubbing his forehead with a rather weird look on his face (unfortunately unless intimately familiar with how facial expressions work when spread over a muzzle, Azymyth wouldn't be able to glint any meaning from the unusual expression)

"'ll be back 'round dinner time," Chuckles mutters to no-one in particular, disappearing down the stairs and out of the library, sniffing about outside before following one particular scent

Azymyth gives an even nod when Chuckles voices his thought intended statement, "I'll keep that in mind." He's gotten negative comments before and it quite used to him. Not that he ever really played the harmonica for anyone else's benifit besides his own anyways.

As Chuckles starts to turn, Azy places the lute back in his pouch and turns to look out the window after hearing Chuck's other comment. He saw the sun was getting close to the horizen, indicating that the evening meal would be soon.

He turned to speak, but Chuckles was already gone. Shrugging, he gets off the sill and heads back to the library and is a bit suprised to see no one there. Frowning, he finds the book he had been looking at on the table and carefully puts it in another pouch for later.

Once everything was in order, he left the library and headed towards the dining hall himself.
