Ashes Davis
Rain pattered upon the ground as Ashes hurried through the district towards the library, a book clutched tightly to her her chest as she ran. Where had this rain come from? Just a few days before the sun had been baking hot and she'd longed for rain but now that it was here, she longed for it to go away. She didn't have work today, a rare day off when the head doctor told her to take a day to herself and there was no other place she'd rather be than in the library reading. Tempus was closed today so she couldn't go there and work on her lines for the upcoming play so instead, she hurried towards the place of knowledge she loved so much.
Her dirty blonde hair was dripping wet by the time she made it to the library and she deposited the book into the drop box. Wringing her hair out, she stepped inside to feel the warmth of the heaters which quickly dried her hair off into a bit of a frizzy mess. She sighed, hating the fact that her hair was always unruly and went through the aisles, searching for a new book to read. Her eyes landed upon a dusty cover that seemed to beckon to her, it was a rare plants book and she was known for loving to learn about the different plants.
She picked up the book, dusting off the cover, and went to find a seat somewhere quiet, loving the sound of the rain on the ceiling. She found a quiet corner and settled down, cradling the book in her lap as she opened it. She leafed through the pages and took notes on the different ones, what they looked like and what they were used for in her notebook that she usually carried with her everywhere. The sound of quiet footsteps brought her attention back to reality and she looked up to see a girl around her age with curly dark hair. She smiled, not really wanting to be interrupted but not really minding at the same time. "Hello" She said softly, keeping her voice down because they were in a library.
