"it's alright, nothing broke and that's all that matters. can't say the same about your books though." his trinkets were all fine but when he saw the others books on the ground he couldn't help himself to start picking them off the ground. "are you really about to read all these yourself? if I could recommend one, i'll say you should start with this one." he said pointing to the green hardcovered book.

mina bowed graciously as her song came to an end, her smile sharp but still oozing charm. she hoped someone from the theatre was present to witness her roaring success... and tell everyone she was doing sooo much better without them. with a last wave to the crowd she made her way to the bar, sending a dazzling smile to the person next to her. "will you grace the evening's performer with a drink and a chat?"
