The trip to the library was mostly quite, Amber's eyes darting off to observe the varous school children as they come and go. Once they made it to the libaray's main entrance, Amber looked over her shoulder to Joesph behind her. Then she asked:

"So... Joesph, have you ever been to this library before?"

It was simple small talk but Amber wished start a conversation. She... didn't have many people to talk to that where her age, aside from her siblings of course. Plus, she was curious about Joesph whom she knows as Dalia's friend. She didn't know much about him but it would seem that he had least the same interest in books as she did. It would be nice to have someone to converse with more about her interest. A... book buddy if you will.

There he was walking down to the library with one of Dalia's sisters, this meant that they were bound to be friends and he thought to him self for a moment as he walked. He had no other human friends and Joseph found this kind of amusing and cool at the same time, so he giggled to him self unaware that they had reached the entrance. When Amber spoke to him he quickly snapped out of this thought trace.

"Oh.... umm yeah..... its either i'm hanging out..... with Dalia or i'm here..... reading and writing more. This place is great..... filled with so much stuff i can use.... to understand things here better." he said and slightly smiled. Joe was slightly happy, every time he went to the library (which was often) he always read things alone in a conner and had no one to talk to. Sometimes he would read something interesting and then talk out loud as if someone was next to him. It was embarrassing but luckily usually no one was there to see him, so it was nice to finally discuss the things he read with someone instead of talking to him self like a crazy person.

"Oh! Cool. I guess I don't have to show you around then. I like to come by the library every once awhile since its a nice place to work on any homework I might have or read some books in my spare time." stated Amber as she proceeds to hold door open for Joseph.

"So what things do you usually do with Dalia? I see you two hang out each other quite a bit." inquired the curious spider girl, still holding the door for Joseph.

"Like... you not the sort of person I thought would be friends with my sister. So, I guess I am just curious. I'm not prying now am I?"

"Hmm.... thats nice..... i usually just come here to read more about stuff about the supernatural and such. Also demons.... still trying to find out what my powers are exactly." he said while he spun his hand. Joe was interested in almost everything and wrote down almost everything, his big note book was a great place to store all of his knowledge and the library was a great place to find everything the he needed.

"Oh umm..... Dalia. We usually talk about stuff play games, give each other hugs..... you know the usual friend stuff.... thanks for holding the door" he said and shrugged as he walked through the door.

"Its.... totally fine..... i don't know why she likes me so much anyways.... i'm pretty boring and..... she is just so.... cool and fun. Sometime i wonder why anyone would like me.... a lot at least". Joe didn't really think lowly of him self but he did know from past experience that people didn't like to be around him for these few reasons.

"Oh... maybe you should talk to my mom about that. Err... my other mom I mean. Chloe Black. You know her right? Sounds like you both interested in the same stuff... and mom has like... a bunch of books on demons and magic. Maybe there is something in there about your powers?" suggested Amber.

Once Joseph entered the library, she closed the door behind the two of them. She nods he explained the relationship that he and Dalia had with each other.

"Your welcome! Well... the two of you get along. I dunno if she would admit but I think she really needed a friend just as much as you really needed a friend. Doesn't how awesome or not you are so long as you have each other. Besides, I think its good thing. She can be a bit of hothead and I think she needs someone to make sure she doesn't get in over herself." commented Amber, her voice a little more hushed now that they are inside the library.

While the subjected was still on her head, Amber decided to press a little more on Joesph's powers.

"... so... what exactly are your powers? I mean, I get that you control blood but... anything thing else?"

"Hmm.... i uhh think i have seen her around..... not a hundred percent sure..... but ill be sure to ask her a few things...... if thats alright with her of course. Don't wanna be a nuisance....." he said and let out a slightly nervous chuckle. He was intimidated by most adults but he deiced he would ask if he saw her. After all the hunger for more knowledge was stronger then a feeling in his gut, besides maybe he could just ask Amber later on to introduce him anyways.

Joseph listened in awe as Amber spoke on about friendship and such, new thoughts flooded his head. She was really good at talking about these things for her age Joe had never even thought of it that way, she was smart."W-wow....." he said and just stared at her with a enlightened look on his face, she was kinda cute too. He then quickly shook his head and changed his facial expression back to his normal dull one."Your....... really good at talking to people....." he said having a tiny smirk on his face.

"Hmm.... well i can make things out of the blood...... i can turn things into a metal..... its reddish like blood but...... i have no idea how strong it is exactly. Its really useful for...... making blades and other things" he spoke while looking around at various other things in the library.

Amber paused at Joseph comment about her being good with talking to people. It was skillset that she never really considered until now.

"Am I? Hrrmmm... maybe. I just like being thoughtful and polite is all. I don't think its even all that hard to do either but... I guess that is just me." remarked Amber as the two of them strolled down the library.

"So... you can make things out of blood like... blades? I guess that is useful if you where ever attacked but... you said you can make other things too? Like... tiny flowers sculpted out of blood maybe? Is it even safe to use your own blood to make these things? Cause... dying of blood lose is a thing."

"Well.... you been better then talking to be and.... giving advice then most adults here have..... and yes people are kind and polite but.... you seem to have a better way with words". He was telling the truth, half the adults that he meet had gave him advice a ten year old would have no use with, not to mention all the stupid stuff the other kids tended to spout out during lunch break.

"Yea..... but i mostly just use it to make weapons..... but the one thing i usually make that isn't a weapon is a cane. I don't know why.... but i find it really fun to just..... strut around with it..... makes me feel like a rich person or an important one.... but yes i can to anwser your question" he said and thought to him self if it was annoying to her that he was trailing off a lot.

"Huh... thanks. I guess I give pretty good advice for someone who is only... like... about three months old? Would be nice if my more people would listen to me. At least you seem to recognize it Joseph!" spoke up Amber whom seemed pleased with how highly he thinks of her.

Amber tilts her head when Joseph claimed the only other thing he usually makes out of his blood aside from weapons was a cane to which she found peculiar.

"Well... I guess a cane can be a symbol of status. Plus it must be useful to help maintain your balance. I don't understand people with two legs not manage to fall over. Two legs just feels... really unstable whenever I go around in human form." comments Amber.

She glances at the cases of books all lined up in perfect aisles. She smiles and looks back to Joseph and asks:

"Sooo... what is your favorite genre of books to read? Really like to read adventure stories but... I guess I will read just about anything that I find interesting. What about you? You like more supernatural stuff right? Soo... non-fiction supernatural or fictional supernatural?"

"Three months....... i really gotta get used to things here..... i dunno i tend to see things in people that others don't.... like how Dalia is a great friend and so on and so forth...." he said and gestured in a rolling motion. Joe had no idea why he saw things in people that weren't clear to others, maybe it was the fact that he was anti social most times.

"Yea high status..... i never really knew how that stuff felt.... been pretty rough my whole life, kinda makes me feel a way i never really felt i guess. Two legs..... well when people use canes its usually..... because they have injured their leg..... or they are just really old..... or in my case because i think its kinda cool...".

Great, this was great, Josephs face lit up and he smiled as well, he had never shared what he liked to read and this kinda excited him since he had so much he wanted to talk about."Oh...... oh! Yes i love informational books about powers and stuff its really interesting and sometimes i really like a good mystery book and all kindsa stuff" he said and paused for a moment realizing that he had just rambled on without thinking and his face got kinda red out of embarrassment. He then shook his head and his expression returned to a dull one."I mean yea..... i read lots of books....... nothing big.....".
