"You sure 'cause you look kinda lost," *she said with a shrug, making sure to keep things casual to prevent being off-putting.*

"I am not!" *He insisted, getting a little huffy.* "I'm just... deciding what to look up first." *The prickly outer shell was rising, as always.*

*She just blinked, trying not to roll her eyes out of annoyance.*
"Fine. Whatever," *she said, throwing up her hands.* "But the war section's that way."

*Just to be annoying, he stalked off in the other direction, and found himself among fiction. Which was not what he wanted. He grumbled and tried to sneak back towards geography without being...*
*This was ridiculous! He was the Fire Lord, what on earth was he doing sneaking around a library, in a city that didn't exist, hiding from a commoner? He straightened and marched right back into the proper section, grabbing an atlas and sitting down at the table, opening up to the first page and glaring at it. Nothing seemed familiar.*

***NEW DAY***
*Dante ambles into the library*
How lovely, he thinks to himself as he gazes at all the books. Making his way towards the Political Science section, he gently and deftly picks up a copy of "Struggle for Democracy" and returns to a table. He settles in and starts reading.

*Violetta peered over the top of her opened book at the...creature. Certainly, it was like nothing she'd ever seen before. Biting her lip, she dropped her eyes back to her book again, recalling that it was rude to stare.
But...five minutes later, she was staring at it. Again.*

*Out of the corner of his eyes, Dante notices a sweet-looking girl looking at him. Catching her eye, he smiles warmly and friendlily.*

*Violetta turned bright pink and stuck her head further into her book, cringing inwardly.*

*Dante frowns slightly. I suppose I should have known better than to assume she would have known about me. he thinks to himself. Resigned, he returns solemnly to his book.*

*Glimpsing a disgruntled expression--not hard to mistake, even on such an unfamiliar kind of face--Violetta suddenly felt terrible. The poor thing probably didn't like being stared at.
Closing her book, she rose and walked nearer.*
"I...I think I owe you an apology, Monsieur," *she said softly, glancing about for librarians who might hush her.*

*Dante's face brightened visibly as the girl walked near. Mentally berating himself for thinking the worst, he smiled at her.*
"Not a problem, Mademoiselle," *he replied, eyes twinkling.* "I'm used to being...ah, startling. Would you do me the pleasure of joining me?" *he asked, indicating one of the empty chairs.

*Her jaw dropped only a moment before the manners her upbringing had drilled into her hauled in the slack and made her sit down, crossing her ankles and folding her hands.*
"Th-thank you..."

"No, thank you, miss. I'm new here, and you're the first person kind enough to speak with me. My name's Dante Piscoya Martinez, but you may call me Dante if you like."

"Oh--pleased to meet you. I'm Violetta. Violetta...de Chagny," *she said, deciding to keep things simple.* "...where are you from?"

"Pleasure's mine, miss. I was born in Peru, but I've been traveling for a while. I'm on sabbatical from teaching at NYU. Have you lived here all your life?
