</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Luca bit his lower lip as he watched Aries gather the books. He wasn't sure the vampire was being honest, but he wasn't going to press him for more. So instead, he followed after Aries to the second floor where they returned the books. Luca held onto the one that he was going to take with after making a long term purchase with the lady at the counter on the bottom floor. As Aries mentioned that the book smelled, Luca scrunched his nose and eyed it with more scrutiny. Gingerly, he put it up to his nose, but he couldn't smell a thing other than a deep musk of old paper. <br/>
<br/>
"Really?" he muttered softly. Aries continued as he replaced the books he'd taken on their proper shelf. "Vampire blood... I wonder," Luca mused softly as he turned it open again. At the next question, Luca gave a partial shrug. "I don't know. This one took my attention though, it's the oldest book I've picked up so far, and it's like a diary of sorts. The writing is almost too fancy for me to read clearly, but if I study it I think I'll be able to make most of it out. The bottom of each entry has a signature, but that's nearly impossible. All I can read is 'Lord', as in a noble. Royalty even if we want to go that far. I'll know more when I study it tonight." Luca closed the book and finished descending the stairs to the bottom floor. <br/>
<br/>
He moved to the counter and handed it to the lady sitting at the desk. She scanned it and after Luca spared a few words with her on what he wanted it for, even going so far as to tell her that he's a hunter; she allowed him to leave with the book. Luca led the way out of the library and onto the street. Looking around he noted the orange rays of sunlight splashing across the city and frowned. "Let's head to the hunter headquarters. We'll get a room and some decent food for the night at the least." Luca didn't mention that he wasn't keen on remaining in the same city they'd spent so much time in before they were separated. Even captured, he was sure he'd caused a stir among the vampires there. Luca moved quickly, not wanting to risk even a moment caught out in the dark.</span>
