North

Within the Northern vicinity of the city, the wealthy gather behind meticulously trimmed hedges and high-class architecture. The pristine streets are paved with stone and the storefronts are brightly lit and inviting - for the right clientele. In the North, every establishment is eager to cater to the rich and the wealthy. Many such places are used to the sometimes peculiar requests of the otherworldly but here there is little that money cannot buy - whether it happens to be illegal or merely involves looking the other way. Vampires and Dark Hunters are often found upon these Northern streets, their long lives often contributing to their sizable wealth which allows them the luxuries that the North provides.

She looks so happy about getting to help me with something that I just can't bring myself to let her down. While I hardly think a trinket or something is going to push what Isolt and I have in a different direction than the friendship that seems to thrive, I don't want to push her out of it and take that simper away from her lips. When she asks about Isolt, I only hesitate a little to answer and that's only becuase there's not many I let see that side of me, the side only she can bring out in me. Instead I indulge Yumi and start to talk about her, soon enough caught up in my own words as I picture her delicate face before me. When I'm done, I look away, trying to regain my composure into something I'm more comfortable with. She frowns a little too but it's soon gone and we can both forget it.

When Yumi suddenly looks victorious after perusing the store fronts, I raise a brow in question and step up next to her to look at the store she's eying with such glee. Tilting my head, I shrug lightly at her question, tryin to think whether I ever actually asked Isolt if she likes to read. She seems the type, I guess and it would seem right at home to see Isolt with her nose stuck in a book. The thought alone makes me smile as I nod.

"I'm sure she does. She's very well versed."

I watch as Yumi dances on her toes, mentioning something about First Editions and hwo you have to show care in picking out the right one. Now my lips tug into a scowl again. I have to know what kind of tastes she has in books? Damn, I knew I should have found out more about her. I might just fail this one. When she turns to me with such a bright eyed look in her eyes, I try to soften my expression, running a hand through my hair as a defeated sigh escapes my lips and I shrug again.

"I think it's a great idea but I don't know if i have enough knowledge of the books she likes. I know she's proud to be from Ireland and she loves all that culture. I know her brother loved to remodel old cars and she shares that love for classics. I know she loves Christmas and everything having to do with it."

I look away again, trying to think some more. Of course I don't want to share everything I know about Isolt but how do I use what I have to choose the right book for her? My posture slumps a little in defeat. Maybe this was a bad idea.
