`When.The.Weight.Comes.Down
Solomen was in the bookstore of Central. It was a small bookstore/ coffee place located a bit outside of the downtown area. So it was out of traffic areas but not to out of the way. There were some people around, but not many. There usually weren't many around but there can be around twenty people in here at one time. It wasn't a bad place, a good amount of people came and bought books. Some people came to relax here, have a drink, read books, and socialize. It was a nice place and very homie. Solomen did a lot of work around here as the person who owned it was old and could work a lot. So Solomen told him he would take care of it.
He was standing behind a counter as he was messing with a coffee maker against the back wall. It need to be cleaned, and that was what he was doing. He was wearing a simple outfit, a light blue long sleeve shirt that was about a size to big on the small boy. Solomen was small he only stood at five foot six and didn't think he was going to get any taller as he was already nineteen. He was wearing a pair of black jeans on his legs as they weren't baggy or tight, just regular. He had a pair of black boots on his feet as he pant legs were over top them. His hair was tied back in a loose ponytail as he was wearing his one earring and ring as he always did. Well the ring was a lot more important than the earring. The Ring was what kept him in control of himself.
It was a red stone and some people had tried to get their hands on it for it's power. Of course Solomen didn't let them. He never used it for alchemy anyway, it was for keeping his minds under control. He dumped the left over grinds in the trashcan as he slide the piece back in the machine.He under stood this thing, it was his job to...

Adi Walked through the damp streets. Her long dark hair swinging freely, and her skirt swishing around her ankle. She was finaly able to actually do something. at both the bakery and Mr. Amery's book store it was the same. They wouldn't let her work. She only had a few broken ribs it was no big deal. She really needed the money and she wanted to earn it not have it given to her, not after everything they had already done for her. But Mr. Amery had finaly let her do something today. Adi was delivering a book. Another store owner that Mr. Amery knew had a customer that was looking for this particular book. SO he sold it to the other owner and the other owner would sell it to the customer. It was a bit strange but she was thankful for the work.
Adi arrived at the small book store and pushed the door open. She only saw one person working. "Hello. I'm here to make a delivery." She smiled brightly as usual. Having broken ribs hadn't deterred her good mood.

`When.The.Weight.Comes.Down
Solomen finished what he was doing with the coffee maker as he popped a few thing back in it. He was done with that, but now there was a good chance he was going to be bored. Usually they did get a good amount of costumers, but it seemed today it was a bit slow. "Welcome... " He said as he turned on his heels as he heard the bell above the door, looking over curiously to spot a girl come in. A delivery eh? He wondered who it was for, well if it was for his boss he wasn't here at the moment. "I See.. whom may it be for?" Solomen said with a soft smile as he leaned on the counter. He had never seen this girl before, did she always do delivery and it was an out of the usual one for here or she was new. Either way she was here for a reason.
Solomen ran a hand over his light hair as it was in it's ponytail. A few strands hung in his face but not many. "Would you like some coffee? My treat for the young lady..." Solomen said with a soft smile. He was a good guy, and he was a kind person. Being nice to people made everything easier, and things worked better. You made more friends and you got to see people smile. Smiles were always nice to see, they were happy and showed that you did something for them to make them happy. Even though she had already had a smile on her face when she came in, he still wondred if she wanted any. He didn't mind, it was slow today and there was about half a pot of still fresh coffee that would go bad soon if not drank.

Who was the delivery for? That as a good question. she didn't know the name of the customer. "Well. A customer of yours wanted a certain book. The owner of this store bough it from Mr. Amery."
She had never been to this book store before. It was quite nice and the boy behind the counter seemed very friendly. Adi was always happy to meet someone new. though after what had happened the last time....
'Would you like some coffee? My treat for the young lady...' He asked.
This made Adi's smile widen even more. "Thank you so much! but I couldn't do that." She walked father in to the store and let the door close. being careful not to move to quickly so that she could avoid moving her injured ribs as much as possible. It wouldn't do to re injure herself, then Mrs. Bacwaren wouldn't let her out of the house again until they were fully healed.

`When.The.Weight.Comes.Down
"Ah.. I see.." Solomen said with a soft nod as he looked over at the girl. "I can take it ... The owner is out at the moment, he left a small while ago... I'll hold it for him until he comes back and he will take care of it from there." He said with a small smile. Solomen was normally a happy person who always had a smile on his face. The only time he didn't have one is when he had a personality switch. IT was odd how it could just happen, but thanks to the red stone in his ring he had an easier time keeping it under control. He was very grateful to this small ring as it was what kept him sane. He loved this bookstore. It was such a calm loving environment. Many people came back to sit around with the small coffee house attachment made it almost homie.
"Why not? Do you not like Coffee?" Solomen asked curiously as he looked at the girl. He had never had a person deny him when he offered them coffee. Of course he usually only offered it to people who delivered things to them. The owner didn't mind, he actually told Solomen it was polite to do so. So he did and he didn't mind doing it either. He liked to see the look in the peoples face when they were offered the coffee. It was kind of like a small pick up after working so hard running around town delivering their goods.

Adi continued to smile. She was glad that she had offered to make this delivery. He was so nice and she had really needed to get out of the house. "Thank you!" She approached him so she could had over the package.
When he asked if she didn;t like coffee Adi's head shook vigorously. "oh no. I really do like coffee. But I couldn't take any with out paying. That just wouldn;t feel right." After all She knew just as well as any one how hard it was to run a shop. Even when offered it didn;t feel right to take anything for free. She always payed Mr. Amery and the Bacwaren's back after she took a book or a pastry.
She continued to move toward him. She was moving much slower than usually due to her paranoia about hurting her ribs and ending up stuck inside. As she was almost there she got a little impatient and sped up. The sudden increase in speed gave her bruised ribs a painful twinge an she winced.
