Onnix walked slowly through the library admiring the grandeur. The two-story windows let in a mystic sunbeam which illuminated the compass on the floor. A gasp escaped her chest as her eyes wandered over the endless shelves of books, the shimmering, winding staircases, and the well placed statuettes of gargoyles and demons.
"I feel under-dressed," she mused to herself as she approached a long table with a few novels already resting upon it. She picked up a very used blue volume which lay on top of the stack and turned it over to read the back cover. "Far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, and a prince in disguise." Her eyes lit up in a brief memory of a feeling. "This sounds interesting at least," she concluded before sitting down in a leather trimmed chair and beginning to indulge herself in the literature.

(Not going to the board for this one..) A pair of Jenova lit eyes watched her from over an upper banister.

Onnix was completely absorbed, and was just getting to Chapter 3, when she felt she was being watched. She slowly looked up from behind the volume and set it down open faced on the table-- so as not to lose her place, as it was getting to the good part-- Her eyes scanned the room as she stood, and rested on silver hair, a tall, dark form, and glowing green eyes. His stare was off-putting to say the least, so she gripped her hand around the hilt of her blade, prepared for whatever he might think to do.

"How acquainted are you with the collection of this library?"

"Not very, I'm afraid. I'm a first time visitor to this world, myself. I find that it's always fun to look about and let the volumes find you." She removed her hand from her sword and bowed slightly in greeting. "I'm Onnix, and am pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Sephiroth." He turned to try her method and pulled a book from the shelf at random, a blush tinting his cheeks as he read the title.

She giggled at his flushed face, and sat back down to continue reading, this time lounging so her legs dangled over the side of the arm. This was quite possibly the most entertaining book she'd ever read.

He shoved the book back on to the the shelf, biting at his hip as he reached for another. He pulled one out, brushing his bangs out of his eyes and smirking slightly at the title before turning to descend the steps.The light of the many candles of the chamber fell on his visage as he walked, the silver of his hair making an impressive sheen.

She looked up from the book, a soft smile on her face, to the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Then, her breath caught in her chest, as the smile turned to a stare of awe. There was something about his muscular, bare chest, his pale, angular face, and shining hair that made him so much more than captivating in the candle light. Onnix shifted her weight due to the discomfort she felt. "Damn."

"hm?" It wasn't the reaction he was expecting. "So I take it..I can't sit down?"

Onnix cleared her throat to regain composure and hid her flushing face behind the book. "Of course you can sit ((on my lap)). You can do whatever you want," she replied though her voice was muffled somewhat by the pages.

His brow knit aas he cautiously took a seat, then a lay on the rug in front of the fire. He propped his chin on his palm and flipped his book open. His hair spilled down his back and over his shoulders, his jade eyes becoming half-lidded as he began to read the prologue.

Onnix debated for a moment whether or not she might join him infront of the fire. She definetely wanted to, something in the back of her mind said it was 'romantic,' and what was there to lose? She closed the book quickly, and a bit more loudly than she'd intended before vacating her seat and striding over to where Sephiroth lay. She sat particularly close to him, with her legs crossed out infront of her --to show off their shape-- and turned her torso to face him, accentuating her volumous assets. "So, Sephiroth, what about that particular volume has 'peaked' your interest." Her voice was unctuous and her eyes glistened as she awaited a reply.

"The way the author has chosen to describe the act of murder." He thumbed another page.

She shifted her weight again and leaned her face close to his to read over his shoulder. "Is that supposed to be funny, because it's almost sick? There is nothing funny about murder. I pity the lives that get lost," she mused more to herself than her audience. What did she really care about life or death, but some part of her was human --or she wanted it to be. Onnix dismissed the thoughts of feelings and refocused on the situation at hand. She blew lightly against the back of Sephiroth's ear and whispered, "surely there are better ways to 'stimulate' your neurons..."
