Racoon, still standing, watched her as she sat back in the chair and bit back a protest. Her hand was still wrapped around the bell, and now he couldn't get at it. He didn't unsheath his claws as he stood behind her again, and spoke.
"Is there something else I could do instead?"

"Hm."
Kimi didn't jump this time, getting used to the boy's random showings. Raising her gaze to the ceiling, she leaned back slightly in the chair, taking her hand off of her necklace and crossing her arms.
"You could tell me your name. And maybe even why you're refusing to reveal yourself?" Kimi blinked, then lowered her gaze and staring straight ahead.

He held back a sigh, but nodded, even though his actions weren't visible. He noticed she wasn't holding onto the bell, but resisted the urge to take it. "My name is Racoon, and I prefer not to reveal myself because..." he stopped himself, already lying. His name was actually Salem, but he wasn't going to tell anyone this. Not even his adopted parents knew. As for why he didn't show himself, it was so no one could accuse him of stealing when he took something.
"I refuse to reveal myself because," he began, more slowly, still searching for an excuse. "because I feel safer not being exposed."

Kimi looked to where she thought the voice was coming from, somewhere behind her chair. Turning her head, she tilted it slightly.
"Racoon? Alright. My name's Kimi." Reaching a hand up to her neck, she unclasped the back and slowly brought it away from her neck, gripping it tightly. Holding it to where a person could see it, she smiled lightly.
"But, you have no reason to feel unsafe around me. Of course," Kimi paused and raised her other hand, in case Racoon should try something. "Unless you wanna try and steal this?"

"Hey! Check this out!"
Completely oblivious to what was transpiring (as usual), Anxo plopped himself into the seat across from the nervous-looking girl holding up a pretty necklace and slapped the magazine he'd found onto the table between them.
A naughty magazine.
"Isn't this sweet? It was lodged in that big, thick, stupid book on political history! Bleurgh!" Axno exclaimed. "Hey, hope you don't mind me being here and all, I just thought you looked like you could use some cheering up." He opened the magazine to a page with a, uh... a rather openly attractive man, let's just say...
"You like?" he asked innocently, a big, childish smile on his handsome face and his dark wings fluttering lightly.

Racoon opened his mouth to explain how he wouldn't steal it, only that he wanted to see it, even though it was a straight-out lie, until, something, darted passed him and sat in front of Kimi. Ears twitching in annoyance, he watched as the boy explained where he found the book and why he was here, and rubbed his eyes when he opened the magazine.
Shaking his head, Racoon walked forward and shut the magazine, his claws ripping through it as he turned and stopped himself from snatching the necklace, but instead gently lifted it to examine the piece of jewelry, making a delighted sound.

Kimi jumped slightly when yet another random person jumped from no where. Glancing down at the magazine, she quickly turned her head away and ignored his question. Her head shot back to the table when she heard the sound of ripping paper, and noticed that it looked like claws had shredded through the magazine. Holding her breath, she watched as her necklace was lifted into the air ever so slightly, suggesting that Racoon was holding it. Looking straight at the new guy, she tilted her head slightly.
"I don't mind you being here, but do you have to show those kind of magazines?" Kimi laughed lightly, and kind of nervously. "I'm Kimi." She added.

Anxo blinked stupidly a few times as the magazine suddenly shredded itself. After a moment, he shrugged and said, "Ah well, easy come easy go."
He fixed his chocolate-coloured gaze on Kimi and smiled, the magazine already forgotten. "I'm Anxo; that's Ann-shaw, mmmkay? And no, I don't have to show them, I just found it and wanted to show someone, that's all. That sort of thing's not for everyone though, right? 'Different stokes for different folks!' my granny-bags always said."
He stared at her floating necklace with fascination glazed across his eyes. "Wow... that's pretty - and how are you making it float like that? You telekinetic or something? I guess you shredded that magazine with that power too, right? I don't mind, cuz it wasn't mine to start with, but you could've just asked me to close it. I would've, you know."
If Anxo had thought about it, he would've spoken a bit more slowly. His Welsh accent was thick, and he tended to speak very rapidly when excited.
The concept that someone could have the power to be invisible didn't even cross his mind - even after the small squeak of glee came out of thin air. Observation and rationalization clearly weren't the winged teen's forte...

Racoon rolled his eyes, releasing the necklace loose from his grasp and it fell back into place. Turning to look at Anxo, he snorted. "You, honestly, shouldn't be talking so loud in a library." he said in a quiet but accusing voice, taking out the bits of paper from between his claws and then sheathing them. Running a hand through his hair, he thought about how stupid he thought this person was.
Then again, maybe he wasn't that stupid. It's just that he figured the boy would know it was he who was invisible, not Kimi using her powers to make her necklace float. In truth, he found no real logic in that. After all, why would she be making her necklace float in the first place, other than to show it off. Clicking his tongue slightly, Racoon stood behind Kimi's seat, waiting for her to let down her gaurd.

Kimi blinked, taking a second to comprehend what the boy was saying. Feeling the necklace drop, she clasped back around her neck, then looked up at the boy.
"I am telekenetic, but I didn't rip your magazine, nor did I make my own necklace float." Kimi, unsure of whether or not Racoon would want the other boy to know he was here, said nothing about the invisible boy. But of course, the winged guy couldn't be that dense, could he? Surely not.

Thinking whomever was subtly telling him to shut the hell up came from either behind him or a shelf, Anxo twisted in his seat and loudly whispered, "Oh, right! Sorry about that!" He then twisted back to face Kimi.
His wings fluttered a bit more forcefully and he replied (at the same volume he had used before), "Oh wow! I was just guessing! Heh heh! Sooo, what's it like being able to move stuff with your mind? I bet it's reaalllyyy cool, and makes it easy to pick up guys - or chicks, if that's what you're into." His thick brogue was only a little easier to decipher.
Oblivion, thy name is Anxo. He had completely forgotten to ask HOW the necklace had floated or the magazine had been shredded since Kimi claimed she wasn't responsible. It was clear he had a severely short attention span.

Racoon raised an eyebrow and shook his head, deciding he'd better not try anything else. It would probably be best if he said nothing, and did nothing, because if he didn't, something would have happened. Something like him revealing himself and telling everyone his real name and why he actually wanted to see the necklace. There was, of course, alot of complicated logic behind this answer.
At the suggestion of Kimi liking women, he shrugged, though he gave it some thought anyways. Okay, he was done thinking. Looking around the library, he left Kimi and walked over to the bookshelf, removing some books and putting them in the proper order, all out of boredome. When Anxo, hopefully, left, he could try again to get the necklace.

Kimi glared at the boy, then deftly lifted a book with her telekenesis and aimed it straight at his head. Launching the heavy book, it narrowly missed the boy's right wing by a centimeter.
"Of course not!" She whispered back. "I don't like girls! But I don't use telekenesis to pick up guys, either!" Shaking her head lightly, Kimi uncrossed her arms and layed them on the arms of the chair. Glancing behind her, she began to wonder where Racoon had gone. Either he had left, or he was being extremely silent.

It may have missed, but Anxo ducked with a squeak of dismay anyway.
"Ok ok, sorry. I was just trying to feel you out and get to know you, is all. I didn't mean anything by it, really!" he cried. Then it was forgotten and his smile returned. "Man, if I had that power, that's what I'd be doing with it though, heh heh heh!" He leaned forward and put up his hand beside his mouth like he were about to whisper a secret. "I'm really not a pervert, so I hope you don't think of me as one. Just trying to feel out my hormones and get to know them, eh? Hee hee..."
Anxo leaned back and tucked his wings more tightly to his body - ok, maybe he hadn't forgotten about Kimi's stunt completely. Obviously still completely oblivious to Raccoon's existence, Anxo attempted to carry on the conversation. "So like, how long have you been here? It's only been a week for me - but I like it! Don't get me wrong! Do you like it here? I think the grounds are beautiful; they really remind me of my hometown back in Wales..."
He finally paused, as if just remembering then that he HAD to shut up in order to give Kimi a chance to answer any of his rapidly peeled off questions.

Racoon finished putting the books in order, not really taking time to appreciate his work until an idea popped into his head. Well, it wasn't really his idea, more like Kimi's little stunt, but an idea nonetheless. Grabbing two of the thickest books he could find, which happened to be an Encyclopedia and a Dictionary, Racoon weighed them on his arms.
Heavy enough to cause some damage. Perhaps a concussion, making someone pass out. A coma would be nice also. Blinking, he then measured the distance between him and Anxo, and calculated the amount of force it would take to get a hit. Satisfied, he threw the Dictionary, missing by a hair. Shaking his head, he quickly recalculated his actions and threw the Encyclopedia, hoping it would hit.
It seemed like a clear shot, and he hoped he would get it. In truth, he wanted to know what Anxo would say if and when he got smacked by a book.
