Xai'Kah
The Dragonborn nodded towards the plantlike woman as she said that she felt the storm brewing. Xai-Kah did as well, and of course to due her appearance and plantlike nature she seemed to have an even greater connection to Nature than Xai-Kah himself did. Xai'Kah followed her, observing his surroundings and simply taking in the majesty of the outskirts as he trotted towards the village alongside Jaighd. Seeing draconian legs attached to a plantlike creature was a little strange to see, but it was logical that in deciding to make legs she used the only reference she had at the moment. Glancing over to her every now and then, he couldn't help but smile at how happy she seemed simply experiencing the wonders of nature, even being part of it herself. Something about this was endearing, even admirable, to Xai-Kah. Walking through the strange magical barrier, Xai-Kah looked up and marvels as somehow, it kept the rain from falling all the way to the ground. It seemed to stop at the height the barrier was extended to.
After a little more walking the two had reached the buildings. Xai'Kah studied these strange structures and a few of the others beings in the street, feeling a little overwhelmed to be honest. He turned towards Jaihgd, curious as to how she was taking all this in. Suddenly, he felt a profound, dark aura and stopped. Xai-Kah didn't know how, but he could tell where magic was a t work. He was highly sensitive to the presence of magic. In a nearby building, a rather dark presence loomed. It seemed small, yet potent. Born from an object, Little did he know, it was the book that had captured the attention of most denizens of the library at present. He felt compelled to investigate this strange presence. Since he had been enjoying the company of Jaighd so far, he didn't see fit to leave her behind. "Jaihgd," he spoke up to her quietly, "I want to investigate that building there," he said pointing towards the library? "Would you like to come with?"
He also felt something more... pleasant, from that direction, something unrelated to the book yet near it. He had a feeling this aura was coming from a living creature near this dark presence, not directly in front of it yet off to the side of it. He was suddenly perplexed as to how these sensations came to him, but was glad for them nonetheless as they gave a sense of direction he did not have moments ago.

Jah'Ri
Jah'Ri was silently stadning there, observing the goings on with very ltitle understanding of them. She also felt... unnerved that the others were so interested in this book. It's aura madeher want to shy away from it, made her a little afraid. But, she remained by Xenith's side nonetheless. It wasn't physically compelling her to move away from it or anything akin to that. What truly bothered her was something, or more correctly, someone else. Nio.
What disturbed Jah'Ri the most is the almost intoxicated effect he seemed to have on Xenith, when they had already established that they have no memories of each other. It bothered her but also, made her remember. Remember someone that had a similar calming effect on her. Just an outline, of another dragon born... a male. She remembered the sound of his voice. That was it for now. The connection these two had seemed akin to this person she may simply be fabricating in her own mind, yet may also exist somewhere in this strange world she suddenly had found herself in. These thoughts were quickly pushed aside with every single gesture of affection Nio directed towards Xenith, and perhaps even more so, her quickly accepting reactions to them. He didn't seem healthy for her. He must be manipulating her somehow through some sort of magic he intends to use for some nefarious purpose.
Then suddenly, a very saddening thought came to Jah'Ri's mind. If and when she eliminates the threat of Nio from Xenith's life, how would she react? Would she hate jah'Ri? She seems so happy around Nio, and oblivious to his predatory nature that seems to trump even her own, at least in its subtlety. Either way, from the dark looks he kept giving Jah'Ri, it was clear there was a side of Nio that if Xenith ever saw herself, she should instantly be less inclined to accept his affections. This was a side of him he seemed adamant on only showing Jah'Ri for now, after all. So perhaps the key was more getting him to slip up and show that side of himself to Xenith more than killing him, at least for now.
These thoughts were, perhaps thankfully, halted when the librarian suddenly approached the group and tried to hold down the book, speaking of a war of something or other... Jah'Ri didn't really pay attention. She was too busy still watching Nio, especially when he began using some sort of magic that added to the aura of the book. Jah'Ri, still silent, watching as Tolan came over and found herself smiling at his words and obvious hostility towards Nio. It seemed Jah'Ri had an ally for when he eventually showed his true colors. Either way, Jah'Ri took no action as of yet but visibly tensed up with the atmosphere around them as they all waited fro Xenith to figure things out. Jah'Ri glanced towards the pages from her position, mostly to distract her from the angry, anxious and slightly afraid thoughts she was experiencing at the moment. She honestly felt... out of place here, like she should be in other company... as fond as she was of Xenith there seemed to be something, or someone, missing... and every time she thought of that her thoughts went right back to those incomplete pictures in her mind of that other dragon born... what could this all mean? If anything, Jah'Ri was starting to believe that perhaps everything that happens in this strange world should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt. All she knew was, she was very fond of Xenith, she was prepare for a conflict to arise, especially surrounding Nio, and there was something kind of.... off about the way Jah'Ri was spending her time, though how was uncertain. These were the only conclusions Jah'Ri felt she could jump to at the moment, and everything else seemed to be a mystery.
