Iveth stared at his hand a moment, still questioning his intention. Maybe he'll burn her hand off, freeze it, do whatever demons may do. "Lead the way," she gestured beyond as she shoved her hands into the pockets of her sweater, watching him intently all the while.
He smiles and nods. Turning towards the library and walks forward, his red book moving back not his bag, he continues and looks back at her, the sound of his leather wing tips tapping the marble. "I want you to know that I have no intentions of harming you or kenn, I am merely just warming up to you two. Also, I tend to have more of a kindness to women, but don't let that be a come-on. It is more of a habit. Take as much as you lie, but if I do to much just tell me, I wish not to make a bad name for myself as a pervert."
"I don't think I'll take much," she chuckled lightly as she followed, slightly glad that that subject was cleared up. She wasn't much for flirting or anything close rather. A punch to a shoulder was affectionate enough as it was. "Is that the study?" her head flicked towards the library ahead and saw others who had already started their research.
He nods with a soft smile. "That is." He spoke calmly. "Now I am certain you have plenty to study, so I will find my way around a book or two. I have done all the study that I need." His smile fades a bit and he pauses, slowing down. "Iveth" he says a bit softer than normal. "I want to tell you something about research."
She halted right as she began to start towards a shelf, peeking at Sasuki over her shoulder with a brow noticeably raised. He made research suddenly sound like a deadly thing, "What..?"
"In my years of study here," he spoke, his features now dread and dark. "I have found some unruly things that have lead to my life and my past being shattered specifically because I am a demon. I know you are a nether and I don't think there is anything to be worried about. But sometimes there is such thing as too much research. Make sure that you do a bit at a time. I have been here for a while and I know now,due to my research and experiments,that I am not a normal,thing. You know that too, but what you don't know is good." He pauses with slight dread and then sighs softly, "with acceptance from the leader, I request you are more careful than you usually would when it comes,to study." His dread look fades and he smiles again, then sits down in a chair near him. "Just be careful, in short."
Her head tilted a bit in a sort of anticipation as she studied his features enough to see that he wasn't kidding. It was more of a warning she supposed. She stood, thinking over it a moment. What was so bad about it that it supposedly shattered his life? Whatever the reason, she didn't need to go sticking her nose into. Not if it would affect the team.

"Yeah.. Alright," she gave a simple thoughtful nod before continuing on the the shelf and reading off of the columns of each book. Picking up one or two whose titles had the word 'Nether' inscribed on them.
He smiled a bit and leaned back in his chair. Three books flew out from his bag and started to flow pat around him, the red cover was one, the other two were blue and purple, they laid out in front of him as he started to read quietly. The sound of turning pages emirates from the books, even though his hands were at his lap. "So," he spoke quietly, "did you,chose to be a nether or were you born in it? I have never studied them often." He says with a delighted smirk. But it wipes off his face as soon as it was made, remembering what she has said earlier.
She plopped down on a sofa across from him, setting two books aside as she kept the other in her hands as she crossed her legs underneath her. Quickly she tucked a few stray curls behind her ear and placed the book in her lap, "I really don't know. I've always been.. fit to do things like hand to hand combat, parkour, all that good stuff. Kind of made me stick out from other people, especially girls. It's weird." She ended with a sigh and opened the book to its context, "And you? Born a.. Well now I'm starting to think that you were probably born a wizard."
He smiles a bit, the blue and purple book opening a space between them so,he can see her. "You would think that, but I have many years of experience with the arts of magic. I was born as a prince to a family in the underworld. But my family was not filled with magic users. I was taught when I was..." He pauses in thought And rolls his eyes slowly. "Uh... Maybe about 9. But since then, I have made up my mind that magic is something I was good at and was for the good of my family to use, I used it mainly to help my brother and sister. Though that only forked for my brother and I." His smile fades a bit and he lowers the books. "I am the only magic user in my family, but I still have family. Just very thin family lines now. It is quite a Shame how we all worked out in my family. But at least I'm an overlord now." His smile broadens again, his fangs being bared once more. "It helps when you have people to admire you for your deeds. But I fine nothing but encouragement from it. That and the fact that I can hold a city together well." He chuckles softly.
"Whoa," the expression slipped from her lips, hanging a bit and her eyes widened a tad, "that's.. nice to know. Now that makes it very weird that I'm our squad leader when you're a.. Yeah." She laughed lightly, feeling puny under his gaze and it wasn't often that she did. Usually she'd keep herself in the same lines or maybe a bit higher, but compared to an overlord... Nope. Puny as ever. "Sounds like you're close to your brothers and sisters," she returned her eyes to the book in her lap again.
He laughs a bit and smiles. "Though I am, I have full faith in you that you will be a great leader, I may be a leader of many, but in a group, you are my leader. I am a respectful person and will give,my throne to you. Besides, I am not the man to give myself more pride then others.,I would have gladly taken my vote to myself but I feel that you would be the best, considering I am but amaze, you have the ability of close range that would not Beale to take. Though I have power of mainly element control, I have no power raised to the nether." He chuckles softly. "I would gladly drop my staff to keep you in place as our leader."
She stared at wizard a brief second before passing him a small, warm smile and returning to her book. Oddly she had much more respect for him than she had merely moments prior and believed he was the best wizard they could ask for. Now that she gained more on Sasuki's person there was only Kenn to sort out, but she'd have to wait for his return.

With the blanket of silence that had fallen she read through Nether abilities, what it required, and how it came to be. It almost sounded like a tale for the most part.

"It said we drain the power from plants," she began, sounding as though she was still lost in thought. "I wonder if I'll feel any different in the forest."
He smiles a bit and laughs softly. "We'll, we know that we should go to the area we should go to next for a mission is a jungle or something." He laughs a bit and rests softly into his chair. The books lower to his lap and closes slowly. "I take energy from the air or from myself. The power of magic comes from energy anyway, I mean you gotta try something in my opinion." He chuckles. He rests his head slowly on the chair as the books move back into his bag, he huffs gently. "Unfortunately it takes from my body instead if there is nothing to pick at."
She chuckled lightly with a nod, "Thats sounds tempting. We'll have to wait on Kenn though." Setting the books aside, she leaned forward and and stretched her arms out before yawning. "I had also read that Nethers could die from overconsumption of energy. That's something to look out for.. and without it it leaves me weaker than usual." After reading thoroughly over the topic, being a Nether didn't seem at all easy unless it was mastered and evenly balanced out. She'd need the practice before going out on any missions to stay out of the risk.
He smiles a bit and stands up slowly, stretching and cracking his joints, moaning with delight and quickly slapping his hand over his mouth, his face red with embarrassment. "I apologize" he spoke sheepishly. "That wasn't intended to happen." He smiles a bit, proposing his hand out to her. "Shall we go look for kenn? I'm sure we could find him training, I mean he almost broke his sword with anger trying to get over there."
Iveth followed initiative, raising a brow at his embarrassment and a grin crept to her lips, asking, "Why do you do that?" She swept up her books to place them back where she had found them on the way out, though not intentionally ignoring his hand once again.
Kenn walked by the library windows heading towards the armory his helmet in his shoulder with the chin split in two, along with a unique blade different from his old blade at his side his shield still on his back his eyes were squinting. His bag was hooked onto his shield swaying back and forth.
Sasuki turns his head to the window and smiles, "ah, entam itcha (good timing)" he walks out the door and waves a hand over to kenn, "hey! Kenn! Over here!" He shouts, his voice echoing a bit harshly and bouncing back equally fast as it was sent. He jumps a bit and puts his hand over his ears gently. "Itza (sorry)."
Kenn looked back to Sasuki "oh hey, just going to repair my helmet real quick" he turned back around and continued onwards towards the armory. The blade had blue sparks dancing around on its surface and his armor was slightly dented around the back.
