She took his hand getting up. "Thank you... um..."
Her face puckered as she tried to remember his name. She wiped some of her tears away trying to see him better. He was dark haired, pale and his eyes were pretty but she had the unfamiliar sense that she had never seen him before. It was strange. She knew everyone here, if not by name then at least recognizable by face.
"I didn't see you..." She said to the boy. He must have towered over her by over a foot. "I mean, I wasn't paying attention." She said her sobs leaving her face red, but her former weeping had weakened to mere sniveling.

Charles trots up behind Ava and faces the younger boy. He had two book in his left hand both hit the ground as Otto atempts to cilmb Charles arm.
"damnit Otto...."Charles sanps reaching for the book but only managing to grab his fathers, the other tumbled to the ground hit at its corner and opens, a slight wind blew the pages to the first one where it had the name 'Willem Schenkopp' (Odd luck ;D)

Novik sighed raking a hand through his hair in nervousness as he attempted to get a handle on the situation. He could feel the sadness and confusion in her words but it was hard for him to talk to someone let alone an emotional mess such as her. Solitude is he knows, all he had been surrounded with since he was born.
He turned his green eyes regarding her with curiosity. She carried with her all sorts of emotional baggage. She looked like she was taking loss hard, and as much as he hated to interact with people, cruelty was not one of his virtues.
"Uh... Don't worry about it..... I was not exactly paying the required attention myself, but uh... I'm sorry I do not know your name." He reached up to scratch his head again, allowing the confusion to show on his face. "My name is Novik von Kruetzer, yours?"

"I'm Ava King and this is Charles my brother." She said moving toward her sibling a little.
"Oh, and Otto." She said motioning to the lizard. She brought the back of her hand over her face again, rubbing away the left over moisture.
"Novik. I've never seen you before." She said simply looking him over again.

Novik looks to each of the siblings nervoulsy as he picked up the box of cake. He was unsure of what to do, not one of significant social experience he could only guess.
He pushes the box forward toward them. The top of the box popping upen to reveal a large, round, cake covered in blue icing with white frills. The commotion hadnt smudged the icing at all leaving it smooth and creamy. It had the wafting smell of vanilla.
"You probably havnt seen me before because I prefer to stay in my home... I am a part of the kruetzer family, though you probably know the name of my father better. Walter Schenkopp." He pulls out a knife and cuts into the cake. The cake released the smell of vanilla anda hint of strawberry. "Uh you do you want some cake?"

"Schenkopp?"Charles says aloud as he grabs Ottos tail mid-air while he attempted a leap at the cake(for a cold-blooded reptile he ate more like human). Charles leans down and picks up to dairy on the ground shutting it. He looks over the bindings then at the cake, then notices the sharp pain in his arm where Otto had been biting him for his release.
"Ouch...."Charles says letting go of Otto letting hims scuttle backup to his shoulder.
He looks back donw at the journal then to Ava with a look that simply said 'Should we?'

Ava looked over at Novik and then locked eyes with Charles. She gave a small nod with a weak smile. "It should be his." She shrugged, mumbling a little.
She ginned up at Novik again before looking down at her feet, rocking back and forth on her heels. "Your dad was a hunter too, huh?"

He smiled nervously at them. of course his father had been a hunter. Now he was gone, missing or dead. Leaving only his crippled mother and sickly son behind.
"Yes my father was a hunter. Not all of my family can be scribes. Someone had to put food on the table at one time." He states with a bit of annoyance.
He stretches shifting his robes to cover his face. A yawn could be heard underneath the cloth. "Why do you ask?"

Charles holds out the journal."Your dad was quite a writer himself...."Charels says exchanging him for the cake in the blink of and eye.
Charles give Otto a small peice of cake which he wraps his mouth around and swollow slowly, as Novik cracks the book open to the first page.

Ava reached into the box furtively pulling out a piece for herself.
"I read parts of it..." She admitted. It hadn't really been the one she was interested in.

Novik looked at the small book with a nuetral expression. "This is my fathers journal?" He mumbled looking at the flowery letters that spread across the page the nodded, "Yes this is... ." He shakes his head slowly tension builiding in his shoulders and begins shaking once again.
"This might be rude of me, but why do you have my fathers journal? I assumed it was lost with him out in the wastes when he went with those uppity huntsmen." He spoke stark white teeth shining out from his mouth, "Also come to think of it why were you crying?" He directed this towards Ava, inclining his head as if to say *yeah, you!*

She shrugged, looking down at the ground edging toward her brother again. "I read my dad's journal and it made me sad, that's all."
"And he wasn't uppity. He was doing it for everyone's good so don't say things like that about them." She said, her voice cracking in odd places.

"Right....and I just found our fathers with our fathers along with a few other names....."Charles says pulling the other journal from his pocket."I found 'em hidden inside of our parents freinds shop......apperently they didn't want us....getting to enthuasiastic about them..."He says giving a glance to Ava.
"From what I can tell they all stopped righting roughly weeks apart from each other....but they all ended around the same area because there are a lot of drawing and descriptions that overlap....."
He didn't exactlay tell either of them what rash decision he had come to while making his own notebook so he ends it there.

Novik shifted his glance away from Ava. He concealed his fathers journal within his cloak. "I appologise for what I said. I just meant it was in poor though for them to go out ill prepared like that, my father included. If he would have been more careful he would still be around to help care for mother."
Once novik let that out he sighed inwardly. He was not doing a very good job at socialising, and he was sure none of them found him rather entertaining to talk to without issues...
"Right then... I suppose i hita button so perhaps I should leave."
