<div style="text-align: justify;">Rowena shook her head when Salazar spoke in parseltongue. On the one hand, it made her feel slightly uncomfortable. On the other hand, Rowena had to admit that it was fascinating. She would have loved to learn it, but she had learned that it was a skill people were born with, much to her frustration.<br/><br/>Once she had presented her challenge, Rowena waited for Salazar to respond to it. Seeing him pick up one of her books made her frown. What was he planning to do with that? All thoughts flew from Rowena's mind when Salazar touched her, though. She felt herself float while standing in place, but tried not to show it, even though it was very hard to hide anything when Salazar looked into her eyes like he was doing.<br/><br/>His next words explained his plans, and Rowena hesitated. She took a look at the book and pondered for a moment.<br/><br/>She knew she would never allow her books to be harmed in any way, even if she could fix them with spells. It would just be too painful. So, with a sigh, she placed the vial on Salazar's palm.<br/><br/>"Very well, but since you did not physically take it from me, this will be the only time", she stated, going to place her book where it should have been, to step away from Salazar and calm herself down a little.<br/><br/>She turned around as soon as the book had taken its place with all of the others.<br/><br/>"Well... I though you would run off the second you had what you wanted", she murmured, now feeling anxious to see herself alone in her chambers again.</div>
