<BloodRose1313> Yazoo was, again, in the library. It was becoming his favorite room. One of the few places that was free of thought and emotion...well...strangely the whole castle was mostly free of emotion. The nobodies that made up the other inhabitants of the castle didn't seem to have emotions. Sephiroth did, and kadaj and sora and those others who were whole. But it was nice, to be even furthur from the thoughts that plauged them. He serched through the dusty books on the shelves his long nimble fingers dancing over the covers in curriosity. He came to a red bound book with a golden Lion on the outside of it lounging rather lazily. He pulled the thome from the shelf and went over to one of the tables turned on a lamp and opened the book. It was in a strange kind of lettering, though as far as he could tell it was in English. He squinted a little and began the general decoding of the letters reading out the words as he decripted them.
<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin blinked at the light being turned on; silent and probably unnoticed to that point: he'd been practicing reading the pages of his own book with nothing but the wisp of air between his fingers and the slight difference of ink. It was slow going and took a great deal of concentration.. but he was adapting, bit by bit. The problem was, when the light was on he was tempted to cheat and just read it with his eyes anyway: which did him absolutely no good in developing and strengthening the ability, as the differences were very small. Rubbing one eye he looked over at the remnant's back with a slight raise of brow, noting which shelf was missing a book past him. " Watch what you read out of some of the ones off that shelf.. " he warned quietly, turning his book over in his lap he re-adjusted the pillow under his neck before he went back to it, though turning the pages to the side to keep his eyes from wandering.
<BloodRose1313> Yazoo looked over and said "sorry" rather softly and went back to the book, mouthing the words to himself. Several pages later he began to feel a slight tingling at his ears and the base of his spine. He shook it off and continued mouthing the words. The book....it read strangely though it was a story it didn't seem to have a liner plot of any kind it was interesting. About a man, trying desparatley to become an animal, then it would skip to another person, or occationally an animal who appeared to be the man actualy as an animal. Then it skipped to a place where there was an animal who wanted to become a human as much as the man wanted to be an animal. In the end (and several hours later) they ened up traiding bodies through some thing of a spell to change the place of souls. when he closed the book he notice that the tingling hadn't stopped and that it had infact progressed to itching. he reached a hand up to scratch his ear and was shocked to find...was that fur?
<BlindTaleTeller> " No problem. " He might not have noticed at all if he hadn't been trying not to catch the words on the next page. As it was he only caught the change in his ears out of the corner of his eye and initially wrote it off as just a bad play of light: until he noticed the change in Yazoo's posture. Then, he looked up. And sighed. " Well... I did warn you. " Standing and setting his own book down he moved to look and see which one the remnant had picked up, briefly having a look at the cover. " With those ears, you had better hope you don't have to get used to sleeping with earplugs.. " implying of course that his hearing capability was likely to increase... and make sleeping very difficult if there were too many sounds in the room. Incidentally.. that was why Saix didn't have much electric lighting in his rooms.. he didn't like the buzz.
<BloodRose1313> Yazoo was slightly taken aback and winced adn te volume of the other man's voice. he shook his head and closed his eyes. some thing twitched behind him, he could feel it, twitching there, he looked back. A tail.....silver as his hair, was there twitching lightly. He hissed as some thing in the fire poped rather loudly. " That's what you get...." he muttered to himself.
