Given the bizarre circumstances under which he’d come to arrive in Repose in the first place, Aleksi hadn’t been terribly perturbed to learn that the odd dreaming experience had been shared with someone who also happened to live in town. Especially since the dream itself hadn’t been bad, per se, just a bit odd - and Alice seemed to have taken it all in stride anyway, despite the apparent weirdness of his psyche. So he was rather looking forward to seeing her again, albeit in a more normal situation. Both the man and the wolf had been present for that first interaction, and though he was wearing his human skin as he made his way towards their appointed meeting place, Aleksi was aware of that other side of himself lurking beneath the surface, both halves of himself equally curious.
Stepping into the bookshop, he couldn’t help smiling softly as his first inhalation of breath brought with it the uniquely familiar scent of old books. For a moment, he got lost in a memory, of standing in the library that had been his second home for many years, the floating dust motes illuminated by the sunlight coming in through the skylights. The bell over the door brought him back to the present, and Aleksi moved further inside, his eyes roaming over the shelves. He made a mental note not to get too lost, seeing as he was here for an actual purpose - but given their conversation over the forums, he guessed that Alice probably wouldn’t be offended if she found him with his nose in a book.
