Azriel crept into the library. There was a dark aura around him, and he slinked past the counter and quickly into an isle of science fiction books.

Cricket wakes up, still a little sleepy. Perhaps Azriel wasn't as quiet as he thought or perhaps...somehow, Cricket could sense the negative energy that emenated from him. He yawns and stretches, slowly getting up from his desk 

Cricket: H-hello...? Is someone there...? 

Azriel peeked out from behind the bookshelf. He noted how...strangely bright Cricket was. It confused him, he never saw anyone so luminescent.

Cricket smiles warmly at Azriel, noticing how nervous he seemed to be 

Cricket: Hello...can I help you? 

"U-U-Uh.."

He looked around, but he quickly went back behind the shelve

Cricket walks down the aisle and over to him. He looks at him, curious 

Cricket: Hey, it's ok! I promise I don't bite...

He stumbled back, grabbing onto the shelf as he fell. Basically, this whole fucking section of books has fallen onto him

Cricket: Eep!
He rushes over to Azriel, pulling books off of him so he can get up. He offers Azriel a hand, smiling at him 

Cricket: Hey-you should be more careful...I don't mind cleaning up but you could've hurt yourself-these hardcovers hurt like hell, I would know...

He winks at Azriel 

"U-h..I...t-t-thank you.."

Cricket: No problem! So-are you looking for something specific...? I'm more of a fan of fantasy novels, but there's definitely some great reads in science fiction...            

He starts collecting the books, stacking them neatly
