~Gabriel at long last finally came up to the door, giving it a light rap~ "Ms.Montrose?"
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 9:32:49 PM)
Come in Mr.Hawke *even with the door closed she knew who it was, when he walked into her office nothing had changed not even her appearance,it was like things were frozen in time but of course that was not possible.*
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 9:38:07 PM)
~He let himself in, closing the door behind him. When he turned to face her, his brow lifted somewhat. It was all the same, including her, he'd never met a woman that stayed in the exact same clothes for more than one day. And this one has been wearing this for the last 6 times they'd met..thats odd, He took a seat nearby with a smile~"Evening Ms. Montrose."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 9:38:52 PM)
*she gave him a slight nod of her head when he came into her office*Good evening Mr.Hawke..how far you this evening?
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 9:41:29 PM)
~He shrugged~ "Can't complain..Its been a fairly good evening..How about yourself?"
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 9:42:51 PM)
Nothing ever seems to change,Im afraid...School is starting in a week so Iam preparing for that..Already had several students speak to me about what language they should take for there requiste...i have to say I wish a few more of the students would just learn langauges cause they wish to not because they have too..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 9:45:27 PM)
"Well sometimes you should remember, your more than a teacher to them, likely your the guide to the rest of their life..."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 9:46:54 PM)
To some yes,to others no..
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 9:58:52 PM)

Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 9:59:07 PM)
"How long have you been teaching?"
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:00:59 PM)
*she was silent for a moment,then stood up and walked from around her desk to the book shelf as she looked at it* i would say no less than five years,I was able to begin early because of my ablity with languages so I had an advantage..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:02:37 PM)
"Do you enjoy teaching or is it simply a job that pays the bills for you?" ~He watched her as she moved around, she truly was an enigma~
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:07:20 PM)
*glancing at the books on the shelf still* Oh,no I enjoy teaching and honestly I find it very full filling...*as she said that she pulled a book off the shelf and walked over to where he sat holding it out to him*This is a bit different than what you read the last time,but if you are serious about learning all you can then if should not bother you...*the book seemed old as well it was enscased in green cloth,but not nearly so as the first book she lent him...The wording was pressed into the front of the book*
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:08:23 PM)
"Fortune-Telling and Occult Divination Including the Oracle of Human Destiny, Cagliostro's Mystic Alphabet of the Magi, the Golden Wheel of Fortune, the Art of Invoking Spirits in the Crystal, the Various Methods of Divination"
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:11:39 PM)
~He looked over the cover, his lips slightly pursed as he read the title~ "Now that is a mouthful..." ~He rose an eye to her~ "I guess this is one of those situations where I shouldn't judge a book by its cover then?"
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:14:57 PM)
*she watched him as he read the title*Indeed it is,but Iam certain you can handle it*when he looked at her she did the same of course*Indeed it is...One should never judge a book by its cover,unless given reason too..*in saying that she walked back to her chair retaking her seat laying her hands on her lap*
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:17:01 PM)
"So this would be fortune telling essentially...other than the alphabet of the magi of course."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:17:41 PM)
*nodding her head*Indeed but a bit more indepth than the usual material you have read iam certain..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:21:47 PM)
"So the palm reader that I used to pass on the beach was actually telling the truth?" ~He chuckled~ "She said I was going to marry a model and be a billionaire.."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:22:52 PM)
*that made her smirk*No,my dear those are usually fake...And are for tourists that do not know any better,but there are some that are genuine..Ones that are most likely not found at some fair or side show..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:30:21 PM)
"Now, I hate to say it but my curiosity makes me wonder, with all of this that I've been reading...what would the next step be? If, say I wanted to be a practitioner."

Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:34:50 PM)
*she could not help but quirk a brow when he asked that* One does not just become a practioner of the arts,Mr.Hawke...it is a talent that is learned over time or that is given and unknown...Which seems to be the case,most times..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:36:15 PM)
"I understand that...but like anything, there is a way to attain the ability to do such things. I'm merely asking what that is."
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:36:30 PM)
"Its an academic curiousity:

Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:40:38 PM)
*she looked at him as if she were trying to read him or figure something out* All i can suggest is that you read what you can and decide on your own...
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:41:10 PM)
if that is the road you wish to take then only you can figure it out..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:44:11 PM)
"I'm simply asking academicly. I don't think any of this would be something I could personally do."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:45:01 PM)
And why do you say that? Have you tried? i will say this*slight pause*you do not at least in my opinon seem the type that would wish do something such as that...
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:45:31 PM)
You are a warrior type,Mr.Hawke but you have brains to go along with it..However,I do not believe you would find it full filling..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:46:39 PM)
"Well No I haven't, however I don't have the essence that would allow such." ~He took her words into consideration but then looked up to her~ "Its the best warriors that have different weapons to come to bear at their enemy...its being creative that makes someone the most dangerous."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:51:45 PM)
*she leand foward putting her elbows on her desk,lacing her fingers together as she looked at him*Indeed this is very true,but just because one has weapons does not make them does not mean they know how to use them..Or being deceptive that makes one even more dangerous..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:54:00 PM)
"Well, to be frank, a person who wields a weapon and doesn't know how to use them is a fool. True mastery of a weapon is one that you have a constant reminder that it requires respect, and to always remember that there is no such thing as a weapon.
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:54:36 PM)
There are only tools, the person is the weapon.'
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:54:54 PM)
Well spoken Mr.Hawke*as she leaned back in her chair,laying her hands on her lap once again*
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:55:38 PM)
Why do you seek me out,Mr.Hawke? For it seems you have little need of me..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:55:59 PM)
"I don't understand what you mean?"
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 10:57:29 PM)
*slight shake of her head*Nothing,Mr.Hawke..I was rambling..think nothing of it....so*glancing at the book he held*will that be enough reading or would you like another book? And please remember do take care of them,they are precious to me..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 10:58:58 PM)
"No, Please, Ms. Montrose...complete the thought.." ~He smiled~ "This is the book you suggested so this will be what I will read...you are the teacher afterall."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:01:55 PM)
*she looked at him and was silent once again*I was merely rambling it means nothing,I assure you..*she gave him a slight nod of her head*Very well...May I ask you something and i prefer you to be truthful..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:02:26 PM)
"Go ahead.."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:05:39 PM)
What is the relationship between your self and Ms.Durant? I know she is your client,is that all there is to it? Why do I ask because I wish to know,nothing more..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:07:21 PM)
"Yes, she's simply a client of mine. I met her at a club the first night I was in the city and she then asked about my business and became interested."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:08:24 PM)
*she gave him a nod of her head*Thank you...
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:14:08 PM)
~He smirked, he wasn't much on perception but he was good at speech...he had a knack for that~ "I have a feeling there is something left unsaid...or unasked...please feel free if there is anything you'd like to know....I don't mind. I kind of trust you.
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:15:06 PM)
I did not want her to think I was attempting to take you away form her,if there was more to your relationship with her than business..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:17:03 PM)
"Oh no..nothing like that...I hate to put it like this, but she's a touch too thin for my taste."
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:17:33 PM)
"But she's kind, and a good conversationalist. Besides, I do not mix business with my love life."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:20:08 PM)
*hearing that made her smirk a bit,nodded her head*Good i do not wish to come between anyone...
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:22:37 PM)
Now then what else do you wish to know,Mr.Hawke...I remember you saying you were intrested in Mr.Myrick's Dojo yes?
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:23:06 PM)
"Well I always do like hand to hand...Its not my best but its definitely one of my better skills."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:24:04 PM)
*slight shake of her head* i do not understand such things,I did however attempt it but the attempt was moot..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:25:17 PM)
"Don't sell yourself short...it just takes time and practice.."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:27:35 PM)
*that made her chuckle a bit*No,my dear Iam not doing such a thing..i speak the truth...iam not fighter it is not in my dna to be one nor will it ever...I just hope i never am put into a situation where it is needed,if so..as my students say..i need to kiss my ass goodbye*smiled and shook her head*Do forgive those words,but they seemed to fit..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:29:03 PM)
"Oh they fit perfectly. But yes, i do need to work on my hand to hand work...I've been working with a sword and knife for so long it seems natural.."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:29:59 PM)
*nodding he head*Then you need to chat with Mr.Myrick more indepth...iam certain you two have more in common than you think...
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:30:05 PM)
Or realize..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:30:59 PM)
"Probably.." ~He slipped the book under his coat~ Now are you and Mr. Myrick close or dating perhaps?"
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:32:50 PM)
*she watched him put the book under his coat,then looked at him* No,we are not dating he is not my type in that aspect of things..But,we are close one of the few I consider a friend..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:34:17 PM)
"Seems like a pretty polite gentleman. Good guy to have around."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:35:42 PM)
*slight nod of her head* He is but do not get on his bad side it is none to pretty,i have seen it..thankfully he has improved his temper as of late....And yes he is a decent man to have around...
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:36:43 PM)
"So, tell me a little more about yourself..anything you think I should know."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:39:02 PM)
I think many things Mr.Hawke,but being a bit more specific would be greatly apperciated...
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:41:15 PM)
"Hmm...what do you like to do other than all this reading and linguistic study?"
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:43:39 PM)
Im afraid Iam rather boring,Mr.Hawke for that is what i enjoy doing for the most part...However I do like walks in the park as odd as that seems,but i have been unable to do so for sometime...Much to dangerous for one to be alone at night...
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:45:33 PM)
~He nodded slowly~ "I suppose I understand...though perhaps you should try to open up a bit..try different things?"
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:46:46 PM)
Try opening up,what do you mean?
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:47:12 PM)
"Look to new venues of entertainment."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:47:24 PM)
Such as?
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:47:59 PM)
"Hmm extreme sports, boating, fishing, shopping I believe is a form of entertainment."
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:48:15 PM)
"If you don't mind my saying, shake things up a little."
Anastasia Montrose (Aug 14, 2011 11:49:46 PM)
*that made her chuckle*None of those things seem to peak my intrest..Iam as my students say a nerd...i do not mind you saying so,but shaking things up is not my sort of thing...*furrowed her brow for a brief moment* and I did open up one time and it backfired on me..
Gabriel Romeo Hawke (Aug 14, 2011 11:52:05 PM)
"Well, if fear is what is holding you back than I suggest trying again...just because something bad happens once doesn't necessarily mean it'll happen again. Though I understand your concern. Being a nerd is fine, among my soldiers I'm a nerd but it doesn't stop me from trying things that make me uncomfortable...Lord knows, I'm uncomfortable with thinking of the prospect that magic exists but I'm trying to learn anyway."
