Booklets [ReD]

Dairy? Like... milk? She thought about it. Aeon wasn't totally sure if she could stomach dairy, so she shook her head just to be sure. Honestly the unicorn was very much certain that they would not be going out for veggie burgers after this, but it didn't hurt to tell him about dietary restrictions. Just in case he found her again and they did, in fact, go out for veggie burgers.

A shudder moved down his spine.

The unicorn watched as he reached for her hand and she pulled her hand back much too quickly for how slowly he was going for it. Hand holding... how indecent.

Still, she walked with him towards the door. The Unicorn didn't want a random concussed guy just walking around the campus. That would be bad.

"It's fine." She said, glancing back to her table where the tome lay closed and waiting. "I can just come back and check it out later. As for Eye of Newt, I believe Daylilies are sometimes called by that name."

As they made their way out of the Library, Aeon took a quick look around to regather her bearings before setting out towards the Infirmary.

This time, when he complimented her, she couldn't keep the blush from her face. Gunner facepalmed, half because she was being hit on by someone clearly not in his right mind, but also to hide her blush. "Uh... thank you."

Aeon tried to keep an eye on him, simultaneously trying to make sure he didn't hurt himself and checking to make sure they were going to right way. The unicorn tended to keep to herself and stay out of the way of danger, so very rarely did she have to worry about picking her way though to the doctor's. However, it wouldn't do to just be walking around without rhyme or reason with someone who was concussed.

That spelled danger in all the wrong ways.

Lost in her thoughts she almost walked right into him when he spun around to face her. Thank god her reflexes were pretty good if nothing else, he legs stopped and her top half leaned back before she'd even comprehended that the thing in front of her was Cabel suddenly facing her.

She was beginning to get the distinct impression that she was in over her head.

"Uh... no," she said slowly. "I've.... definitely never met you before." Running her finger through her hair, she glanced at him again. "You were looking for eye of newt? I take it you make potions then? If so, you've probably used something like my hair as an ingredient. It's..." she didn't know why she was hesitating. It wasn't like she was ever going to see this guy again. "It's unicorn hair."

Looking around, she could see a building labelled as the infirmary. Oh thank god. "Come on now, this way."

"Unicorn hair. If you have unicorn hair....you're a unicorn?"

She blinked at him slowly, raising one of her eyebrows at him. "Yes...? It would be pretty weird for someone to have unicorn hair and not be a unicorn."

Having said that, she went back to walking towards the infirmary building, simply assuming that he was following her. In hindsight that had probably been a bad move considering everything else about him seemed to have been thrown out of whack by him slamming his head on a table with however much force he'd hurt himself with. What a shame.

Everything turned out okay when he high-tailed it to catch up to her.

Somehow he seemed a lot more excitable now. Somehow she couldn't shake the feeling that telling him that she was actually a unicorn had been a bad move. He seemed to be making a big deal of it.

Oh, he really hoped he wasn't one of those weirdos who would try to sell ground up unicorn horn or vials of unicorn blood on the black market because that was the last thing she needed in her life right now.

Almost subconsciously Aeon's hand went to her forehead.

"Yes...? Is there any other kind of unicorn?" She said, her voice a little wary. "Come on, we're almost there."

"Well, sometimes, I find lots of hairs," Cabel said. "like cat hairs. But I'm not a cat. I don't even own a cat."

"That's... concerning." She said honestly. If she started finding a lot of cat hair lying around despite not owning a cat and having never even seen a cat in the last month or so she would call someone. That was weird. And despite her affection for cats she would be alarmed if one was just.... running around her room without consent.

She was at the door and glanced back to see Cabel just standing there.

God damn this boy.

With a heavy sigh she walked back over to him and made a grab for his wrist when he asked about other unicorns.

"Well... I guess there are the heavy metal unicorns that are black with evil curved horns..." she muttered, walking back towards the door.

"I think you might be messing with me, and if you aren't, I'm sorry, but that's really badass."

Aeon just gave him a vague shrug. There was no reason for her to lie about such things, and she really had no way to prove that they were real. But they were. And they were very violent. Took pleasure in violence like no one else, and could only be calmed by the dew from pixies or something similar to that. A shame really.

She stopped as she stood at the door when he told him that she was going the wrong way. A tilt of her head as Cabel bounced in place and said something about veggie burgers, and she rubbed her cheek with her hand.

She wondered how much she could test his knowledge of the world around him when he was concussed, because she had not put her book down just to go get veggie burgers with.... whoever this was.

It occurred to her that she didn't know his name. Oh well. Didn't need to know someone's name to get them in the fucking infirmary.

"We can get veggie burgers later. I need you to talk to these do--I mean my friend."
