WHO: Vance Astrovik and OPEN
WHAT: Wandering the stores.
WHEN: Evening
WHERE: Stores in Aiode Falls
RATING: TBD.
STATUS: Incomplete.

Vance had grown bored with his room, and was tired of studying for once, so he set out to wander the stores in Aiode Falls. He had a few things to get, but mostly he was just interested in window shopping, and being out in the fresh air. Even when you kept a room clean, being shut in it most of the time made the brain get a little cabin fever.

So, he had bundled up a bag for emergencies, and grabbed his collapsible cart, and wandered off to the stores. Right now, he was absorbed in trying to decide if he needed a new book by his favorite author. He had already hit the computer store, and gotten a couple of articles of new clothing. It was a nice evening, and had been a wonderful day, and he was having fun.

Annja had decided to check out the town. Immersing herself in shopping every once in a while, helped her to relax and unwind from a long day. Granted, she'd been attempting to put her two syllabuses together and that had been a bit of a struggle.

She needed a bit of fresh air. Plus, Annja realized she was seriously lacking on up to date books on Celtic Mythology. So, here she was, in search of one.

	Vance was wandering when he very nearly ran into someone. He stumbled, dodged one way, and then managed to fall on the floor, with his books, at someone's feet. His backpack went skidding away several aisles, only to be picked up and taken off by a young man who grinned at the easy take. Meanwhile, Vance just facepalmed and looked up. "Sorry!"

	Annja hadn't been paying attention herself, otherwise that would have been avoided. Wincing slightly, Annja offered out her hand to help him up. "Are you all right?" And yes, she'd noticed the young man take off with his backpack. She had half a mind to chase after him, knowing full well she could catch him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled, wincing and carefully getting up with her help, then wincing again. "Yeah, just twisted the ankle a bit avoiding people. I am kind of clumsy. Sorry. I will be okay." He started gathering his books. "Thanks. I'm Vance." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Annja felt horrible about that. "I really should have been paying attention, I apologize." She hoped he would be.

"Annja, Annja Creed," she replied, smiling slightly. "If you wanted, I could try and catch that kid who grabbed your pack?" Hey, she was all for helping him out. Especially since she felt it was her fault this had happened. It was the least she could do.

"No, it was not your fault, really. I am clumsy. I could stumble over thin air!"

He smiled at her.

"Nice to meet you, Annja. That is a beautiful name."

"Catch what?"

He looked around.

"Oh no!"

Then he rubbed his face.

"No, it just contained clothing, and a change of everything, plus spare keys and a 20 for cab fare. Nothing that cant be replaced."

He hesitated, thinking of heading back to the dorm immediately. The bag contained extra clothes for if he changed, and it he did not have it and did, he would be in trouble... but surely he would be lucky one night, right?

	Annja nodded, still not entirely sure it wasn't the least bit her fault. "Nice to meet you, too," she smiled warmly. "Oh, thank you." Her smile faded a bit at his reaction. Really, she would get it if he asked. "If you're sure, then," she nodded, not wanting to press the matter any further. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-18 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled at her. "Thanks." "No need to put yourself in danger, or anything. A few clothes that can be replaced is nothing." He smiled at her again. "But thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-18 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure thing," Annja laughed, nodding. "Okay. Though, it wouldn't be the first time," she winked, her eyes twinkling mischievously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-18 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh? What do you do?" He grinned at her, not being able to help it. She was cute, and nice, and that gleam in her eyes was intriguing! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-18 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm an archaeologist," Annja admitted, smiling lightly. "So, a lot of my time is spent in foreign places, hunting down artifacts and evading people who want me dead." She was slowly getting used to that part of the job. "For now, though, I'll be teaching a couple classes." Yes, she was taking a break. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-18 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah? Sounds like a little too much fun, you know?" He smiled at that, then blinked and nodded. "You teach at the college? I am a student there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-18 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"It can be, yeah," Annja nodded, chuckling a bit. "Most of the time, it's worth it though." Especially if the artifacts go to their rightful places, like museums and galleries. "I do, yes," she admitted. "I'll be teaching Celtic Mythology and Archeology." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-18 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Really? Hmmm,. maybe I should take a course and hear more about this." He grinned. "Think you could stand an eager student, oh beautiful and mysterious teacher?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-18 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Perhaps you should," Annja laughed, not above encouraging him to do so. "I think I could," she smirked. "Though, we'd have to see, wouldn't we?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-18 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned at her and nodded. "Always nice to meet a beautiful and kind teacher, who is encouraging." His grin was oblivious as he looked around. "I was just trying to find a book by one of my favorite authors. He writes fiction based on Celtic myths." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-18 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	"I certainly try to be," Annja smiled, shrugging slightly. "Oh, really? I was looking for a book on Celtic mythology, myself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-18 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh? Cool!" He smiled and scanned the shelves again. "Do you like to read the fiction too, or just the nonfiction in your specialty?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-18 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Most of the time, I just read the nonfiction," Annja admitted, checking out the selection. "But every once in a while a piece of fiction catches my eye." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-18 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded and ah-ha'ed as he snatched up the book in question. "Here it is! I have been looking for this for a month, but the store puts it here and not in fiction for some reason. Took me awhile to find out." He grinned at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-19 03:34 am UTC (link)
	"I'm going to assume it's good, if you been looking for it for this long?" Annja smiled, her voice hinting to the fact that she was teasing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-19 03:50 am UTC (link)
	He was oblivious. "Yeah! It rocks. iut is really exciting and fuill of facts, though I dont know how accurate they are of course, and the characters have flaws and act like real people and there is fun adn excitement and sex--" he went solid red. "Erm, ah, I mean... " (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-25 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Annja thought that was cute. "Sounds like quite a book," she smiled, noting his embarrassment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-25 03:04 am UTC (link)
	He blushed more, and smiled, and didnt quite speak for a moment. "Ah, yes... um, would you like to read it?" He held out a copy as he glanced at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-25 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"I think I would," Annja nodded, smiling warmly. Since Vance seemed to like it so much, she figured she might, too. Accepting the copy, she flipped through it, scanning some of the pages. "I think I just might start reading this when I get home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-25 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	He slipped his own copy off the stands and smiled. "It's good, and I like it. It's one of those books that kind of grabs you, you know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-25 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Annja grinned, knowing exactly what he meant. "I haven't read one like that in a while," she admitted. "Well, one that wasn't based on true facts." Hello, day job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-25 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned and nodded. "Sounds like you need time off, then." He nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-25 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, most definitely," Annja chuckled, shaking her head. That's why she'd been sent here. To Aiode, to teach. Okay, so maybe she wasn't getting time off, but it was different and she had a lot more free time now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-25 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "I know what you mean. I have a friend who goes to school there and works full time, and just never seems to stop. I dont know how you or he could do it." He grinned. "I am a slow and easy kind of person." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I guess it's just our nature," Annja smiled, shrugging slightly. It had been that way all her life. After all, she never knew her parents and had an obsession with learning everything she could about the past. It helped her feel a connection to people.

"It suits you," Annja grinned, meaning nothing bad by it. "I suppose being here will help me slow down a bit, though I have to get used to it first."

	cursed_vance 2008-01-26 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled. "Thanks!" "I think you seem happy. And I hope this place makes you happy as well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-26 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	"You're welcome," Annja nodded. "Oh, thank you. I am happy," she admitted, feeling really good for once. Not that she hadn't been feeling that way, but it was for a different reason this time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-26 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned. "Well, if it helps, you've made one new friend." He bounced in his shoes, feeling unself-conscious for once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-27 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	"It does," Annja grinned brightly. "It really does." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-27 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Good. Shopping for anything else tonight?" He grinned at her. "I think this is my last stop of the night. Unless the shoe store nearby has those new boots I want." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-28 03:19 am UTC (link)
	"Not sure, I was just really browsing, apart from the book," Annja admitted. "I really need to check out the other shops," she noted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-28 03:25 am UTC (link)
	He grinned. "Want to walk with me? The shoe store is nice, and they even order from a catalogue if you will put down ten percent." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-31 05:51 am UTC (link)
	"I would be happy to," Annja nodded, smiling warmly. It was a nice night for a walk and she was enjoying Vance's company. "Oh, then I will definitely have to check it out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled and led the way toward the check out desk, paying fr his book and waiting patiently while she did the same. "I am slowly growing to really like this place. It is... nice." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-31 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	"It definitely is," Annja smiled, paying for her book. She wasn't sure how she'd feel about this place, but it was turning out to be a great place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-31 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned as they exited and he waved a hand down the walk. "Shoe store is this way, unless you wanted to visit any other stores, first?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogue_angel 2008-01-31 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Annja followed Vance, not yet familiar with the layout of the various shops. "I'm good with just going to the shoe store," Annja admitted. She was happy just being out and about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursed_vance 2008-01-31 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned. "As you wish!" And he led the way to the store, holding the door and following her in. It was a medium size store and Vance grinned as he looked around. (Reply to this) (Parent)
