A little light reading

Steel boots klank against the hard wood floor of Trolls Bane’s library. Wolf blood still drips from his steel armor. Leather that holds his two swords moan as he walks. One rests on his left side and one behind him on his waist.

Dantagon grins sheepishly to various people who are already inside. Robed men, men with lutes on their back, and a plain clothed man reading an almanac. After meeting their deadly glaze he does his best to tiptoe instead. Now making multiple tinks against the floor.

Light blue eyes dart from under neither a helmet. Scanning the titles of books. Slowly his gloved hand reaches up to pull a book off the shelf. He approaches a chair and sits down. As he reads he searches for one word. “Sylathen.”

((Open rp. Can “write” text he reads. Bias towards different groups welcomed. Specifically history)).

"Where could it be? " , murmurs someone, quikly browsing trough an old, leather covered book, somewhere in a dark corner of the library.
He wears a beautifully made black robe with red edges, with the hood pulled over his head to keep his face in a permanent shadow. You can see a staff peacefully leaned by the bookcase.
He didn't noticed the new person entering and sitting at the table, or at least that's what it seemed.

his glovened finger goes down the lines.

Sycosis
Syenite
Syllablic
Syllable
Syllablus...

the magic book shivers with silent laughter.
another one, who does not know, what he's looking for...

Dantagon grumbles, closing the book in one hand. It makes an aweful slam. A few people look up at him. He cringes and mutters a sorry. Carefully he stands and walks back to the book shelf. Gently he slides the book back where it was.

He takes a step back and starts reading the titles once more. Soon picking a book that looks promising. As he heads back to his seat he catches the black robed man in the corner of his eyes. Once more Dantagon sits down and thumbs through the book.

He finally finds what he was looking for in the book and with a quick move, puts it on top of the table where Dantagon is seating, slaming it with a deaf noise, and slowly takes a seat infront of him.
He immerses himself in reading, never lifting his head to look at the person in front of him.
It's absolute silence...

Dan's eyes catch a slight movement, but no sound to go with it. His head raises slightly. His eyes dart to the conner he saw a man of similar stature in. This man is no longer there. Instead of wondering any further he shrugs and starts flipping through the pages once more. "Syalthen... Syalthen..." He breathes, only to be heard by those with good ears.

The black robed man continues his silent reading, doing strange signs with his hand over the book. He doesn't seem to care that there are other people in the room and they might see him.
For one second, he lifts his head and looks at Dan as he speaks the word that he's looking for; his eyes spark darkly from under the hood.

Dantagon gave a sigh, standing once more. Slowly he moved to a bookshelf and set the book back on it. After taking a step back he starts looking for something else. He paces the shelves, knowing there is something else. Before long he pull another book off the shelves, returning quitely for once to his seat. A small nod is given to the man in the black robe. The book is opened and he starts rumaging through the pages.

The man in black robes continues his silent reading making his hand movements more and more intense. Seldom, he uses his other hand to turn the pages.
Sudenly he stops any movement and raises his head looking at the man infront of him. His eyes once more spark darkly from under the hood. You could swear that they emit a slighty red light.
"Looking for something in particular?", he begins speaking... His voice is cold and almost whispered.

Lee was standing on the top roof of the library and looking north, towards the Grey Rose castle, lost in thought. Just the cold winter breeze brought his mind back into the present and he shook his head a little.
His breath condensed when he exhaled and he turned towards the stairs down. "How I hate the winter", he thought and hoping these months through the cold time, wouldn't be as hard as they used to be in Albar.

Trying to be silent he walked downstairs til the groundfloor of the library. Casting a quick glance through the room he slipped through the first door and offered a shy smile, to those looking at him...

Dantagon pauses his skimming and looks up at the man in the black robe. He grimaces, a little nerved by the coldness of the voice. Slowly he nods, closing the book in his hand and setting it on the table. Hearing the footsteps down the stairs he turns his head to see who it is before turning back to the robed man.

He nods and keeps his voice at a whisper as to not disturb anyone. Couriousity and deep respect is seen in his voice, even though he only whispers one word. "Sylathen."
