*wanders around the shelves, smiling to herself, inhaling the smell of leather, paper and dust.*

Declan entered the library, suspiciously quiet. He walked between several bookshelves and selected a copy of the Holy Bible. He seated himself in the corner of the room, turning the first few pages, skimming the lines.
"What does she find interesting in this?" Declan grumbled to himself.

*Virginia stood watching him silently, with her arms crossed.* "Eternal life in paradise has it's good points, you know," *she said with a wry look on her face.*

Declan quickly looked up. Seeing it was Virginia, he grinned smugly.
"Fancy meeting you here, miss."

*Virginia raised her eyebrows and glanced at the book in his hands.* "Fancy meeting you here, sir," *she replied, shaking her head a little but smiling her crooked little smile anyway.* "I didn't know you read for pleasure or instruction."

"I don't, actually. Well, seldomly. Just wanted to find out what the huge deal was with this thing that you nearly devoted your whole life to it."
Declan carelessly dropped it on a nearby table.

"And what makes you think I'm not going to devote my whole life to it yet?" *she said quietly.* "Just because I'm not going to take vows doesn't change who I am, Declan. God is still the first love of my heart and His work the mission of my life." *She picked up the Bible and held it, gently leafing through it.*

Declan casually leaned back in his chair.
"Do whatever you want. I just want you for myself." ((Ugh, couldn't think of anything else to say.))

"God has me--you may take whatever's left over," *she said, walking past him to look at the shelves behind him and taking the oppourtunity to slam the Bible against his chest.*

Declan scoffed and turned in his seat to watch Virginia.
"Believe me, I will. So...has anything occurred in the last few days that's worthy enough to hear?"

"No," *she said lightly, pulling down a heavy book entirely in Latin and sitting in the window-seat to look through it.*

"Oh, come on." Declan sat down beside her.
"Something must have happened during the period that we've been apart. Well, then, what of the future? Anything fascinating going to happen to you soon?"

*Virginia thought a moment.* "Oh! I made a friend and his name is Wilbur. There was a party at some funny man's house and I went and drank punch and then I talked to Dea--another friend of mine," *she corrected herself, thinking Declan might not be ready to accept her acquaintance with Death.* "And he needs a housekeeper so I've got a job! I've sent my things over, and I'm moving into his house."

"Is that so?" Declan cocked an eyebrow coolly, although inside, he felt a pang of jealousy.
"Who's Wilbur?" he asked, attempting to question with a calm air.

"My friend!" *said Virginia happily, scanning her book.* "He's really tall."
