Before she could even touch the book, a strong hand grabbed her wrist, stopping her completely. "Do. Not. Touch. That." Tulleesh."
-
She began shaking, she slowly looks over. "I'm.... I'm sorry.." He sounded... Extremely angry.
-
He stood, towering over her. He was frowning heavily. Around his neck, he had a chain she had never seen before. "What are you doing?"
-
She was scared, she had never seen him like this. She noticed the necklace. "I was just.... What... What is that necklace..."
-
"Don't change the subject. What were you doing." He crosses his arms, staring her squarely.

"I was... I just... You're always so secretive with your books and stuff... And I just... Wanted to take a look. I'm sorry. It wasn't my stuff to look through.." She says, looking down.

She couldn't bare to look at him. She nods, stepping away quickly, still not making eye contact. "I'll just... Go..."

"No. You most likely came here for a reason other than to look through my things, so go ahead."

"I just... Wanted to ask if you wanted to have dinner." She said quietly.

He sighs. "Why not. Haven't eaten proper food in a week."
-
She smiles. "Alright... You want to go right now or... Just wait a while.."

"I dunno. You got a place in mind?"

"I heard there was a good restaurant down in the commons..." She says.

She smiles. "Alright..." She walks over to him and takes his hand.

"Which one?"

"The one that's bound in human skin." She says as she takes a bite of her steak.
-
"That's the tome of Eternal Darkness. And that's as much as you'll know about it."
-
"Yeah that's all I want to know." She says with a smile. "What about the one with the three eyes."
-
"That's the Guardians' handbook. It's passed on by every generation of us guardians. The thirteen tendrils represent us - the thirteen Guardians of Mantorok the symbol as a whole represents Mantorok himself."
-
She nods. "So you're pretty special... One of the thirteen defenders of Mantorok." She says with a smile.
-
"Guardians. Thirteen Guardians." He chuckles.
