Amicia Market Area

Elizabeth walks along the side walk glancing at every glass window she passes by. She scanns every item in display. Suddenly, she stops. Her eyes are locked on a necklace "What a stunning locket!" she says to herself with a sweet smile on her face.

Atsui slowly walks on the other side of the street with his head down deep in thought

Elizabeth walks into an art store. She scanns the shop, surrounded by many paints, brushes, canvases, colors, and other art supplies. She picks out a small canvas, a bottle of ink, and some new brushes. She carries them to the counter. The man at the cash register smiles "Good to see you again, madame." he greets her. She nods softly "Good evening." the male hands her a bag, and she steps out into the side walk once more.

Atsui stops in front of a bookstore glancing inside, then heads into the bookstore looking around for a certain book. Atsui thinks to himself - I hope they have his new book in - Atsui stops and looks at the book contemplating on purchasing it

Elizabeth steps into the book store. She smiles walking down a long aisle. She pauses, pulling out a book from it's shelf. This one looks rather interesting... she thinks quietly to herself, scanning the cover.

Atsui picks up the book opening it up and smiles. Atsui speaks quietly to himself - Finally I have found his book - Atsui looks at the book and slowly heads down the aisle towards the poetry section walking past Miss Beth without noticing her, Atsui thinks to himself - Hope they have his other book as well

Elizabeth glances over her shoulder. "Why, this is unexpected. Hello, messieur Atsui!" she says with a greeting smile. "It's so good to see you once again." she adds, turning around to face Atsui.

Atsui stops in his tracks and turns around looking surprised but manages to change it to a friendly smile and nods my head slightly towards Miss Beth
Miss Beth? What a pleasant surprise. It is such a pleasure to meet you again

Elizabeth curtseys "Indeed, this is quite a surprise. I had no idea you liked literature. What do you have there?" she asks glancing at the book in his hand.

Atsui slightly blushes
This book? Well, it has to do with opera and classical music
Atsui notices a book in Miss Beths hands
What about you Miss Beth. What book you got?

Elizabeth grins "That sounds like a great choice." she looks down at the book in her hands "This, I picked out at random. I've read some of this author's litterature, and it was very promising. I expect this book to be as good as the others." she says in a kind tone. Her head slowly turns to Atsui's face "You look like your sick! Are you okay?" she asks creasing her face in concern, placing her hand gently on his forehead.

Atsui blushes a little more and smiles
I will be allright, I feel just fine, nothing wrong at all
Atsui thinks to himself - Just say it already
Ummm.....Miss Beth......Can I uh, that is.....do you like poetry?
Atsui thinks to himself - Why cant I just say it?

Elizabeth nodds, smiling brightly "Poetry is simply amazing. It's a beautiful work of art." she replies to his question kindly. "Have you ever written any?" she asks, grinning softly.

Atsui returns a warm friendly smile
I love the symmetry of poetry, its one of my passions. Not very good at it though, but I did write some long time ago
Atsui slightly grins
How about you, do you write poetry

"Sadly, no. But I do enjoy reading it." Elizabeth replies softly "I express myself in another form of art." she adds, scanning a nearby shelf for another book.

Atsui spots a book out of the corner of his eye and picks it up
What form of artistry would that be?
Atsui glances up from the cover and smiles
Ah, just what I was looking for

"Well, my true love is painting, sketching, and sculpting. But I enjoy dance and music, including my voice, once in a while." Elizabeth replies to him, smiling softly. She picks out another book, skimming over the pages.

You are a true artist with many talents, I would love to hear you sing sometime
Atsui smiles thinking to himself - Go on, just ask her
Miss Beth.....I was wondering......would you like to hear some of my poems?
Atsui thinks to himself - Why is it so difficult to tell her how you feel

Elizabeth turns back up to him "Certainly, it would be an honor to listen to your poetry, messieur. Writing is very personal, I would truely appreciate you letting me me hear it." she replies lightly, softly smiling.

Atsui gives a sweet little friendly smile
Well this one is called the angel - Their wings white like a dove, the being floating down from above, the sweet melody washes away the pain, what I felt before she came, down from the heavens she dances with grace, she moves, she twirls, keeping her rythmic pace, The angel of dreams is her place
Atsui blushes now and looks away

"Your writing is splendid! That is a very stupendous talent of yours. It truely is touching. I think it's fantastic!" Elizabeth exclaims, grinning softly. "You write marvelous poetry." she adds, then once again looks at his face "Oh my, are you sure you are fine?" she asks in a worried tone.

Atsui blushes more
Yea......uhmm....its just that....welll...you....were the first person....I shared my poem with.....and uh....well.......I....I really...like you Miss Beth
Atsui blushes even more

Elizabeth smiles sweetly "I like that you are brave enough to come out with it. It probably took much courage to confess that." she says holding the book nervously "But a I, a Jager, and you, a vampire. It sounds like an impossibility." she states, with a pout on her face.

Um.....yea.....ok I understand.....
Atsui blushes and slightly looks down
Umm.....I....I just remembered there is something I gotta do.....
Atsui quickly rushes past you and pays for his books leaving the store quickly heading down the street speaking softly to myself
Such a stupid stupid fool you are
Atsui stops a few shops down and leans against the wall looking down, a few tears rolls down my cheeks
She is so amazing..............

Walks into the bookstore and stops at the front desk
I need something a little romantic, something that is very popular with women
The clerk smiles and takes me down to the romance section and hands me a book, I look at the title and chuckles, the clerk walks back to the desk, I look at the other titles whispering to myself
What ridiculous titles, wonder why women like reading this stuff
chuckles even more reading all the titles thinking: Does she really like these? She is always telling me to be more romantic, maybe these could help
