[[Took me long enough, and I feel that it's craptastic, but...yea...I wasn't really sure what the setting was like, so I totally cheated and just ranted about other stuff...]]
It had been...some time. Quite some time, really. Things had always been so busy and complicated. There was nothing simple about her life any longer. Those dreams went out the window...well, not too long ago, in all reality, but a lot sure had happened for only being in the very early twenties of life. A year had started to become a very long time, despite how very short it really was to her now. When time had been suspended, you almost forgot how to care about time any more, but she couldn't do that either. There was family, people that relied on her. And what about those people? She had do all she could, knowing that, eventually, one day she would be without them. Be without...anyone. It was a very gloomy out look and, when she actually had free time on her hands, it would creep back up on her, much to her dismay. She didn't like it, of course she didn't, she was sick of feeling alone and trapped, but it would never truly go away...
And then again, all of that didn't really matter, it was just ranting... Well, it was a reason why she was here, sort of. She had free time, for once, and she wanted to know more about...things. Another bit of a lie, she'd been coming here about once a week now, when she found time, for the last two months or so. It was also just in her to be naturally fascinated by more 'mythical' things. She held an open mind about everything, so demons, yea, they were real, even if some were more ignorant of them. On a third point, she was also intending to expand her own data collection, for her own facsility, even if she didn't want much to be brought there, to the building, it was nice to have a little mix of everything.
So, currently, Rhosey had her nose in a book, on the general topic of demonology. Sitting beside her on the floor, yes, she was happily sitting on the floor with her knees up and the book in her lap, was a stack of five or so more books on the same subject, some going more deeper and into specifics then others. Still, she was testing out which ones that she liked best. There were many ideas floating around, and she was mentally comparing them. Which ones held the most truth, and so on and so forth. If she took a guess, a lot of what she found was...accurate, more so then if she'd went to any other place. Which was, why she came back to this odd building. It was open to the public and had tons of data, yet not a lot of people seemed too terribly interested. She'd only seen a few people come here repeated, which she assumed...worked here...
As was common when she hadn't been working her more suspicious type of work, she was just wearing black pants, black boots, a bright green tank top, gloves, and the typical metal spiked collar on her neck and such. It was just the sort of outfit she loved. Allowed her to move freely, as well as gave off a bit of a warning.

Rhosey's continued appearances had atracted some attention to her presence. It was far from normal to have a casual observer come to check out their stuff on demonology, expecially so if they kept coming back. Regardless it was not unheard of so they had mostly left Rohsey to do her own thing.
But as has already been mentioned she had attracted some attention, attention from higher ranks. So she was, of cource, going to recieve a visit today.
Closer to the doors the newcomer was greeted by stares from the woman behind the desk. She pointed in the direction Rhosey was located and as thanks he gave her a rather bright smile before he headed on his way over. He was rather smartly dressed wearing a black suit though instead of a shirt underneath it he wore a white turtle neck, the top of the neck sitting just below his chin and ocasionaly he would straighten it out with a gloved hand to stay there. His face was the only part visable that was 'him'. Every other part of his body was carefuly covered by what he was wearing, even is tail was wrapped up carefuly in bandages.
When he approached Rhosey he smiled again and gave a cough not because he was sick or needed to but because he wanted to anouce his presence.

She hadn't been paying too attention to much around her, her pupil-less eyes avidly moving up and down the pages of the book in her hands. She was reading at a fast pace, despite taking in all the useful information her mind could absorb. A page was turned in the time that it took whomever it was coming to visit her had made it to her, and she was already over half way down the page.
At the moment, she was typical, like everyone else with their sight. Things were...blocked out, let's just say. So when she heard someone cough, knowing exactly what kind of cough it was, Rhosey had to rip her eyes from the book, almost reluctantly, and lifted them up to the face of the man standing before her. While she didn't expect to ever be confronted here by anyone for any means, she didn't look too surprised. More like...she kept on a professional sort of face, that she used when facing clients, just because she wasn't too interested in being interrupted right now.
"May I help you?" she spoke, politely as possible.
And she wasn't even going to mention his interesting taste in clothing.

"Maybe you can, maybe you can't." He gave a one shouldered shrug and looked her over to commit her appearance to his memory. "I might even be able to help you out depending on why you actually are here. It is not often we get people coming in here to look over our writings on demons." He did almost hope that she was serious about learing or perhaps already new plenty and was brushing up. At the very least he was happy that she was willing to take not of him, he had been plain ignored a few times in the past.

It wasn't much of a habit to easily trust characters in what would be considered, perhaps, a shady environment, so it only made sense that she didn't trust this stranger. The key, however, was to know a person first, no? For now, she wouldn't past judgment.
"I suppose I'm not much like other people then." She stated, with a two shouldered shrug of her own, still looking up at him. It was really nothing too terribly new. "Nor is it common to have a single location with so much writing on the subject." She fully closed the book in her lap now, as it seemed she would be doing more conversing then reading at the moment. "I'd say people read to broaden their horizons." Simply put, she was here to learn. As for why, that was what she didn't tell.

"Well someone needs to keep all this information and ensure the right people get an education on these things. It is necicary that some people know what you are reading, broaden horizons and lengthen life spans." His smile fell a little at that and he looked up towards the cealing. "So, you would just be trying to gain an understanding of these things?"

Fair enough. There were people like her, and others with even more of a reason then she did, to venture into the subject. Surely someone had to collect it, that being the case. "There are other ways to lengthen lifespans." She grumbled under her breath, not necessarily intending for him to hear her. "A better understanding is more like it. Sometimes you get involved in something and you hear little things. Better to be in the loop later than never." If she could still apply the knowledge she gained to whatever it was she was talking about, then at least she'd make more sense of it, now that she'd gotten wiser on the subject.

"You must get involved in some weird things Ma'am, not many people come across this sort of think at any point in their life never mind as young as you are." He said that despite his own youth, he couldn't have been older than twenty five. "I do hope you are hearing about it from the right places."

Oh did she ever! As young as she may be, in the reality of things, she could probably write a pretty interesting book on her life so far. With those thoughts, she chuckled a little bit. "And that I won't deny." Weird was something she was accustomed to. If she just happened to tell one a little about her family in current times, you'd say she lived in weird. "As for where I've heard it, oh, lots of places, really." Some could be better then others, but none the less. "Now, it seems like there is more to you coming here then just chatting. Am I right?" Finally, she stood up, book still in hand. "No one has spoken to me my entire time here, you see." It was odd that out of the blue someone suddenly would. She couldn't help but be rather suspicious.

"Well as I said we don't get many people in here so the reception was kind enough to tell me that we had a new regular. To be honest I had been hopind for someone with experiance rather than someone just reading up." He admitted then looked her in the eye. "And I just realised I have been increadably rude so far." He held out a hand. "Noitasinagro Devlin."

Whatever experience she had at one point with possible demonic creatures, well, she wasn't going into that one. She'd made a promise to keep a secret, a promise made on her own death bed. She lived, of course, when she shouldn't have, but that wasn't the work of a demon. It was on later death beds when it became a larger concern... "There are different kinds of experience." You could experience something without being fully wise to it. In which case, it was best to fully understand at some point, be it later on or not.
She eyed his hand, gloved, like her own. Then she shifted her book into one arm, and placed her hand in his, as was polite. "Rhosey Trinity."
"Though now I know your name, you and I are still very much strangers. How would I know I could trust you, and explain the details as to why I'm here?"

"I do have my doubts that the experiance you have is not what I woulld hope for." Noit had merely shook her hand before letting go again and took a small step back. "There is no knowing though if I can be totaly trusted without times. If I were to tell you too much you would probably back off quite swiftly, people are swift to misunderstand."
(( just as a warning I will be in Aberdeen from wednesday till the second, I'll still have internet access just probably won't be on too much since it is a holiday ))

"Could be." She said, without much thought or concern. Neither of them knew the intentions of the other and, from how things were going, they wouldn't be sharing any time too soon. There was no need to press on the matter. Rhosey never even said if she really wanted to talk about it. Of course, people who believed in demons had to believe in angels too, did they not? Maybe that just depended on who you asked... "I'm fine with you not telling me, just as you seem to be without my specifically telling you." That was a sort of a lie, since she commonly wanted to know why anyone would confront her. She had gotten more suspicious of people as time went on, ever since...that one incident. "Everyone has their own secrets. But do tell me, were you one of the ones that put this information together?" The way he spoke, it sounded like this place personally involved him, more so then just working here or watching over it.
[[Kies. Hope you have fun! I have to make up class hours, so I'm never too sure of my time of being around either. Bleh.]]

Noit nodded along as she spoke. He paused as she asked the question then nodded again. "I own this building and the books, almost all of the ones here are copies to keep the origonals safe, I don't own all of them. The origionals and more important books are kept elsewhere. I didn't compose the colection myself, I'm far too busy to do such a thing but I did pay for everything to be put together." He turned to look around. "This is almost entirely works on demons we have several other colections elsewhere on everything from angels to other species on the planet to true mythology." He sounded somewhat proud of the amount of information he owned, right enough, such colections would cost a fortune, copies or not.
