Tic tic, the car sang rhythmically when Sasha was about to turn from the main road and onto the little parking in front of the restaurant slash bed and breakfast place. To say that she knew exactly why she was here once again would have been a lie. Somehow the place had just pulled her back as she was passing by. Maybe this was the start of a new habit, maybe she just wanted to make sure that everything was alright with Janus. She did not know and didn’t expect to figure out the answer any time soon.
The vehicle came to a stop with a light shock. It was late in the evening, the sun hung low. It was practically touching the horizon. She stared at the sight for a second then directed her attention to the building. There were lights burning here and there, so she assumed that Janus was home. Or.. would come home some time soon.
Tapping the steering wheel while trying to sense her friend she grinned when the reiatsu from before made itself known at the edge of her perception. She was here alright. Hopefully not in bed, the Quincy thought to herself before sliding out of the car. From the seat next to her she had picked up a heavy, worn book. The first time she had set her eyes on it Sasha had thought it to be some sort of bible. In a way, it was. Stories of Quincy, heroic actions, villains, morals squeezed into the speeches of those long gone. It was one of the books that had arrived at her apartment not too long ago. She had recognized some of them. The Von Wolfenstein signature had cleared up the mystery around the others.
How the fuck they had landed in front of her door, neatly packed, and assigned to her, well, it was a miracle. She still wondered about it at times, but didn’t question it enough to dig into the matter. In fact, she was pretty sure that it was Otto’s doing. He had already given her plenty of books with the same signature. Now that she thought about it, the better question to pose was probably how he had gotten his hands on all of them.
A sharp mind, quick hands, Quincy powers - the back of her mind summed up.
She opened the door into the restaurant. Taking the same path as they had when she had stayed here, she quietly made her way into the lobby. Coughing, briefly, to get anyone’s attention, she spread her senses in hope to locate Janus should the woman not choose to appear by herself.
