By the time they had finished with the revel, it was well into the early hours of the morning. Although a few of them were exhausted, it was quite obvious that at least Konstantin and Jona could have gone til sunrise. However, Danny and Slit-Throat did not want to leave the Caern unpatrolled for that long.
When they returned to the library, a few of the kin joined them. While the Garou stood guard, they made preparations for when the others returned from battle. If they were victorious, it would be a cause for celebration.
It was a cold night, although spring was coming around. But Wissenfalken and Adran were sent inside, to guard the library and stay alert in case they were called to battle. A pretty girl of about eighteen was already there, starting the fire, and a young man in his early twenties was restocking the medical cabinet.

Jess heads over to the medicine cabinet herself, and starts to nose through, seeing what supplies she would have at her disposal once the fighters returned. She refuses to entertain the thought that thy might not return at all. She ignores the girl, not out of pride, but simply bcause her mind's on other things right now.
She does speak to the man, however, albeit cutting straight to business. "Is this the lot?" she asks the man. "We got any Kin around who know their way around a suture?"

Jona looked around for the rumoured gun stash. He gave up after a short while and like Jess, resorted to asking kin. "Do you know where the guns are hidden?" he asked Jan.
He let wandered around, trying to think where he would hide a gun, and came across Adran. "After this, I'm going to get some sleep," he said. "Then we should check out that book."
He suppressed a yawn as he sat down.

Adran made his way over to Jona and sat down beside him. He pulled out a bottle of Coke and said, "With this, you shouldn't have to sleep for some time. I've already had one, and maybe Jess could use one as well. My kin came over awhile ago bearing caffeinated drinks, so I thought you should be the receiver of one as well."
Adran's thoughts drifted over to the book and the writing on the side. He knew the language from somewhere in his past, but he couldn't quite translate it yet. He stretched out his legs and wished that he had the book with him, but his kin wouldn't even go near the thing. With good reason I suppose. He then added to Jona, "How long have you guys been in a pack?"

Cracking her neck a bit Em contented herself with roaming the building first, checking the exits and windows. It was a nervous energy, because she didn't think anything would get this far, if anything came at all. But, it didn't hurt to check everything and to know all the possible exits.
Returning to the room the rest were in she nodded to the rest of them. Then looking at the two people she didn't know she asked without preamble "And who might you two be?" After all it would be nice to know if they would be a hindrance or not in a fight.

Jan smiled at both Jess and Emelie. "The two of us aren't so bad," he said. "As far as I know, Simon used to be the medical expert, but a lot of Garou can do the job better than any of us. Especially Vasara's lot."
"I'm Jan by the way," he said. "You must be new. My sister-in-law owns the library. She's around here too, talking to her dad. Probably catching up on years... or rather, telling him off for disappearing."

"Thanks," Jona took the coke and got up to get a glass. "I've been with a pack since my rite of passage. Jess joined me about a year ago, and Emelie, not a week ago."
He returned and poured some coke into a number of glasses. "Are you looking for a pack?" he asked Adran. He didn't make an offer yet. He had actually seen Emelie in action first, and besides, things weren't quite as pressing now as they were back then.

Jess nods. "Well they're the ones I'm expecting to come back in pieces, so I don't wanna rely on them." She turns back to the cabinet, then back to the room, not entirely sure what to do now, but not very good at just sitting and waiting. "Her dad? Oh, the glasswalker. Yeah, we're new. Jess and I turned up... a couple weeks back?" She indicates her alpha. "Em a little bit after that, she's pack too now. And that one's Adran. Dunno much about him yet."

"Yes, I've been packless for some time. Living alone in the world of the occult is a recipe for disaster. A pack is rather nice to have since they can guard each other from corruption."
Adran went over to the next room and took out two more cokes and went back to give them to Jona. He added, "Here's some more if you'd like one for each of your pack. I live in an occult store which has been in my family for years. It was built to handle five garou at once, but as I don't have a pack, those rooms are rather empty right now. If you want to study the book, feel free to stay overnight at my place so you can research it."

"I'll go grab the rest of this, it's in my car," Jan said, leaving Jess to restock the medical supplies and heading for the front door. Although it was well past midnight by now, both kinfolk seemed awake and energetic.
As Jan left library, Adran felt a familiar sense of foreboding. And although he knew he was in safest place in the city, he felt in danger.

"I'm Christiane," the girl by the fire introduced herself. "My father's... patrolling or something, I think. At least that's what I heard."
She looked somewhat interested in Adran and Jona's conversation.
"You have an occult shop?" she asked. "You study the occult?"

Jona smirked as the pretty girl showed interest in Adran, and gave him a knowing look. "I'll let you entertain the ladies," he said, standing up. "If I sit around any longer, I'll fall asleep. Coke or no coke." He headed after Jan. "I'll help you carry those supplies," he said.

Adran went over to Jona as he was leaving and said, "Just be on your guard. I have a bad feeling about this."
Adran then went back over to Christiane and sat down next to her. He said, "Yes I do study the occult. I'm Adran, Child of Gaia. My shop is here in town, about a couple of miles from the caern. I have a good selection of occult materials if you are really serious about it."
Adran then excused himself and went over to the soda cooler. He ambled off to the kitchen to put them away, but when he was out of sight of any kin, he shifted into his Glabro form. At least that form allowed him to be personable and also satisfied his bad feeling for the most part. He went back around to where Christiane was and added, "Don't mind the form. I've got a bad feeling of danger. It may just be paranoia, but I'm not taking any chances. Now, what questions about the occult do you have?"

Jess turns back and continues to stock the cupboard, not yet picking up on the encroaching danger, she busies herself with the supplies, making sure she knows what they have and where it is.

"You said something about a book," Christiane said, although whether it was the book or Adran himself she was interested in was debatable. She did seem genuinely interested in one of the two, however. "The one you are researching?"
