Library of Epicness

    Somewhere along the way, Katherine reached out to Atif, which she hasn't done in awhile. He was to meet her at a location, the next thing the poor Salamander would find is his feet probably floating off the ground with that Temptress voice going, "This way~"

No, Katherine Tanzer, that lady magus imp hasn't changed a bit. Forever using magic and forever just pulling at the strings.

    Atif would find himself at last at the destination, which Katherine opens the doors and goes, "Ta-da!" Though she may get shushes by a few people. The hoofed imp then slinks around Atif, as her tail curls, while it sways side to side. Her fingers tapping up his shoulders, before she motions out at the library. "Isn't it lovely? Estelle and so many others worked hard on this!"

The imp slinked back around in her normal sultry way before turning to face Atif with an easy turn on one of her hoof feet. "Also its been so many moons since we last spoke, I thought you may enjoy a change of pace!"

    It's been more than a while since the Salamander has seen the devi- er, uh, Imp woman, so the red-scaled and -haired boy probably has absolutely no idea what to think of the fact that she's calling him anywhere.

    Let it not be said that Atif is the type to turn away from a presented challenge, though. Even if it's dealing with... well. Katherine.

    And over this way now, towards the unfamiliar library, Atif finds his spine jolting just from hearing the ethereal voice and his feett hovering off (possibly literally?).

    And then the doors open to present the Imp-lady herself, and the scarlet-haired Salamander's blinking rapidly at her while she crosses through from within and closes in on him.

    "U-uh... Is that right..." Mumbles Atif, one scaled hand moving up to smooth out the golden scarf coiled around his neck before scratching at the olive-toned skin there, where it's not covered by the sparser collection of scales.

    "Did you... work on it, too? I haven't really been aroudn these parts much, so I've missed... probably a lot."

    Katherine walks ahead of Atif, her tail swaying side to side still, before she looks over her shoulder. Her index finger claw coming up to her lips, "Who? Me?" She then smiles. "Not really. I did make sure that they did not over work themselves."

Katherine then runs her hand along one of the shelves, careful with her claws as she does so. "There have been several constructions though. Steam, coal... Many things." Her voice drifts a little. "... so many wanting to bring the nightmare's technology into this land of magic and purity..."

The imp Magus turns to face Atif, "What do you think on that, My dear sir knight, Atif? Do you agree with them bringing such technology here?"

    "...Made sure of that by effective time management and provisions of refreshments, I'm guesssiiiiing?"

    Atif is not entirely sure if he even wants to contemplate too much on the potential alternatives there.

    Still, potentially against his better judgement, the Salamander does follow her along into the library, with his emerald gaze wandering through somewhat absent-mindedly to take the rather impressive vision of it all in.

    "Eh?" THe surprisingly weighty question from her makes the young man blink his eyes once, twice, three times at her, before cocking his head to the side in a manner that might be expected more from someone with canine features rather than... you know, fire-lizard.

    "...I think it's in the nature of people to want to try to build advancements to the world around them," he offers after a moment, with a faint frown. "I don't know if it's entirely right to deny that sort of desire either."

    Beat.

    "...Also, you know that I am not a knight, right...?"

    Katherine sighs and takes out a book, walking over to Atif, and shoves into his chest. "You are a knight. You love to do heroic things and think of things from a good heart." She then boops his nose.

"So, whether you wish to accept nor deny, you are a knight at heart." The imp motions at that book. "Just like in that fairy tale I handed you. It is actually a touching story with a very, hmmm, romantic twist!" Then she continues to walk on.

    Book shoved to his broad chest, Atif blinks again and turns one scaled hand over to catch the tome... right before he gets booped. Right on his nose. Resulting in a little *meep* of a sound and his eyes squinting shut for a moment.

    "Nnnh..." Apparently he's still uncomfortable with getting compliments, too, rubbing at the back of his neck akwardly now before he steps after the Imp again. "I think you're putting me a bit too much on some weird pedestal," he claims with a low sigh, before peering down at the book itself, curiously. Frowning at it for a moment before opening it to just... quickly flip through some of the pages towards the end.

    Purely out of professional curiousity, *obviously*.

    Katherine goes to take another book off the shelf as she says back over to Atif, "I heard it gets really... Spicey! Just how i /love/ it." Then the imp laughs gently before moving around to another section.

Atif may catch her tail doing an almost 'come here' motion with its pointed tip.

    "Enh..." Atif's face quickly flushes *bright* red, and he promptly SLAMS the book shut again. It's not entirely clear if it's because of the actual contents of the book or just what she said.

    Tucking the book in question underneath his arm for the time being, he sighs in while he ducks through between the shelves from one section to another with her. "...You are kind of incorrigible, you know that?" He points out with a faintyl accusatory tone, in a low mutter.

    "And yet!" Katherine says holding up an index finger, "You come and come again. I call, and you come." There was an evil grin on her face, before she stops suddenly and turns to face him. He may have to watch his step or he could end up in a place of no return giving her outfit.

"Just admit it, sir Atif, you enjoy my company and never knowing what might just happen." She gives him a playful wink, before continuing to walk on. "Enjoy the library and its views, Atif~ If you ever need of me, you know where to reach me!"

    "I mean... it would be rude not to..." Insists Atif -- and only realizing right after that Katherine has, in fact, come to a sudden stop. The delay in his brain registering this results in him coming to a stop *dangerously* close to the Imp woman, and he's left staring wide-eyed at her with faint hints of nervousness.

    "U-uh..." He doesn't even manage to say anything in retort to her right away, either. Not until after she's already turned to walking away, and leaving him standing there amongst the books like a good old doofus.

    "...What's that supposed to mean...?"
