Andrew nodded and smirked lightly. "If that's the case, come stay with me tonight. It'll be much easier to leave at the same time." He suggested, adjusting his hold on he large pirate book. "I'll be packed up in no time, leave whatever I don't need. I don't plan on coming back anytime soon." He said, glancing at her.

Allen lifted his head when she spoke, and nodded lightly. "This is where I stay most of the day, finding new remedies to make, and sell in the market. People used to come here, to have a remedy made if doctors wouldn't see them, but that was before.." He answered her casually, lowering his head some. He appreciated that she didn't ask about the East wing very much.

"I would rather not show you my bedroom, it's bound to be a wreck." He said, smirking lightly. With how often he threw things, he could only imagine what kind of shape his room was is.. That and he didn't want to run the possibility of scaring her off.

Allen lowered his head some as she spoke. "Thank you.." He murmured, leading back through the hallway to the main room, and continued cautiously up west staircase. Most of his painful memories resided in the east wing, so he avoided it, he didn't even mention it. "The west wing is where my study and bedroom are." He said as they reached the top of the stairs. He led her down the hall, passed several old paintings and a grandfather clock.

Allen stepped inside his study, a small white room with a large bookcase stocked with a few fresh herbs and other ingredients, a handful of large dusty books, a long table where he crush and mixed the herbs into remedies, and a small bed.

Allen smiled some at her words. He carefully took her hand and led her inside, the large door creaking as it closed behind them. Despite the curtains, it wasn't too dark inside, there was enough light for someone to see. The age of the manor hadn't done as much to the inside, but one could still see the aging. It looked like your typical old manor, with less stuff laying around since he didn't have much. The walls were faded in some spots, aligned with the curtains from the sun peeking through. The floors creaked some when walked across. There was the main room with a round table near the wall, and hallway, and two large stair cases leading to the east and west wing. "I remember what it looks like, before I lost my sight.. The hallway to the left leads to the kitchen, pantry, and dining room, we're in the main room.. He said to her as he began to lead her down said hallway to show her the kitchen area.

The kitchen looked like it hadn't been used in years except lightly, the pantry nearly empty ad the dining room looked neglected. Why sit at a table if you had no one to sit with?

Nathan blinked as she took the book from him, and smiled. "Thanks." He said, kissing her cheek. Natalie giggled, and nodded lightly. "Ready~" She chirped, holding her books. "But I'm buying my books." She said with a smile.

Andrew hugged her a bit longer, especially after hearing that. "Jeez, you didn't have to go and do all that.. I said I'd help." He murmured quietly. Andrew slowly pulled back and looked her in the eyes. "I'm up for leaving at dawn, we'll sail out and search for a crew later. I've got my own funds saved up, I'll get the best crew we can find." He said, having a gleam in his eyes. They could finally live their dream.

Nathan swam along with her, to find his sister.

Natalie was humming along as she swam around to look at other books. She noticed the other two and swam over to them. "A found a magazine on jewelry making~" She chirped happily.

Andrew stuck the large book under his arm as Cordelia grabbed his other arm and lightly pulled him. "Whoa, alright. I'm comin'." He caught himself, and followed her outside. What he found himself staring at was just unbelievable! Ten years.. She saved up ten years of her money, so could have their dream. He was entirely speechless for about fifteen minutes.

Andrew turned and hugged her tightly, as to not hurt her or drop the book.

By the time Nathan had calmed down from being spooked, the other mermaid had disappeared elsewhere and Sirene had found the book. He glanced around briefly, before smiling at his girlfriend and got the book from her. "We'll see how fast I read it." He teased lightly. Nathan held her hand. "Let's go find my sister and pay for our books. It's getting late." Truthfully, he just wanted to go home. That other mermaid gave him the chills.

Andrew's eyes widen briefly, as he got a look at how big the book was. He put the hat back on and carefully took the large book from her. It was a bit heavy, but not enough to weigh him down. He looked small, but he could lift a good bit. "How did you find such a jewel among books?" He asked softly. "Words cannot express how lucky I feel." Andrew smirked as he looked over the cover of the large book. He blinked and rose an eyebrow some. Too..big..? He wondered curiously.

Nathan blinked and glanced at her when she asked, then flushed some and glanced back at the books on the shelf as he skimmed the titles, thoroughly. "It's about legends of the sea sprites. They're very different from us, and I'm interested in learning about them." He explained, hoping he didn't sound out of character.

A younger mermaid swam up, she looked to be one of the bookkeepers, or an assistant. "Legends and folktale are over there." Nathan just about spazzed since he didn't see her coming.

Andrew smirked when she answered him, and he didn't waste any time going over to her. "That certainly has a nice ring to it." Andrew chuckled quietly. He took off the large hat and held it where she could see it. "It's finally finished." He said, smiling like an innocent child. The hat had a big white feather coming off the back, with two different danglers lined with a mix of beads, and small feathers at the bottom. One was longer than the other, and just how he liked it.

Nathan pretended to grimace at the thought of reading more, then smirked and lightly kissed her cheek. "Alright, let's see what they have." He said as he followed her. Nathan looked over the books on the shelf carefully, as if actually looking for a specific book. He was curious if they'd actually have it here.

Andrew wandered the town with his newly crafted hat. He had a feeling he knew where she would be, even remembering her work schedule. She'd be off today, right? He wondered to himself. He came to the book store and opened the door, before walking inside. "Delia, you in here?" He called just loud enough for her to hear him, using his favorite nick name for her.
