>There is a light clicking noise near the entrance, and the shuffling of robes. Standing in the doorway was a man whose flesh, hair, and even his iris, bore the color of palest snow, deepest winter. Beside him, a small housecat rubbed against his leg, a thing that was in perfect opisition to the man himself: a cat as dark as a night without its celestial bodies, and eyes as green as emeralds.
The man, who stood at 6'3'', wore tattered black robes, the kind of thing one would expect to see on the poor or unfortunate. His hair was uncombed, falling in wild waves about his shoulders and back. A crystal that was somewhere between blue and green was set in his forehead, and his right hand was clasped around a blue crystal staff.
Despite his odd and slightly intimidating appearance, the man smiled gently at those gathered. He wasn't taken aback in the slightest by LD's appearance, immediately accepting him for something different from the norm.<
"Hello. I hope I'm not late..."

*LD chuckles*
"You're right I do belive this would be the first time you've seen me in business mode. I don't normally show this side to friends, it's weird, but then I brought business so it's instinct."
*On that note he relizes something and reaches into his robe removing a small glass and metal box. LD looks at it and chuckles before putting it back*
"Ok, that's not something I should have been carrying to a meeting I had to teleport to. Ahh well."
*LD's ears then his eyes go to Xeno when he appears. He nods to him*
"If you are late then so am I, but as I understand it, I am not, so neither are you."
*LD holds out his hand to Xeno*
"The name is LD, Steel Smith and Psychoportationist, you are?"

>Xeno takes his hand without hesitation, shaking it with a strong grip.<
"Xeno Zohar, teacher and Psion Savant. It's a real pleasure to meet you, LD. I haven't seen too many Psions in my travels. This is Victus."
>Victus looks up at LD and meows, a very superior look on his feline face.<

"Thankfully, you are both in time. What, may I ask, is that LD? Welcome, Xeno."
Satorius waves with one hand, while pointing at the box with the other, curious.

*LD's hand is uneven because of the pads on it. He nods*
"Neither have I, we're not the most common people in the multiverse."
*LD looks at Victus and chuckles*
"Hello Victus. Odd, is he a pet or you the first Psion I've met to have taken a familiar."
*LD grins slightly and chuckles*

Satorius waves with one hand, while pointing at the box with the other, curious.*LD pulls the box out again then holds it out for Satorius to examine* "It's my Passport, I need it to get of Ceron legally. It however isn't needed for trips like this, mostly because no one ever finds out about these little trips." *LD chuckles and lets Satorius take and examine the device if he wishes*

*There are footsteps from the back of the library, coming closer and closer from behind the various bookcases. It does not take long for Catriona to appear- still a rather short Elf with big ears, wild dark curls and a long green dress. She brings with her the smell of food, bread and fruit and honey and cheese. She stops when she sees LD and looks from him to Satorius and back. Then she laughs and hurries up to him.*
So that's what you hadn't been telling me. LD! How are you? It's good to see you again! How is Bob, how is the little Dragon? Wow, I don't think I've ever seen you in uniform, you look good. Will you stay for dinner? I'm glad to see you. It's been much too long.
*She smiles happily at LD and turns the same face to Xeno.*
Mr Zohar, welcome in the Library. I think you will find it a little more friendly to you than last time. I'm very glad you could make it. Can I take your cloak? Hello Victus.

*LD smiles at the scent and sight of Catriona*
"I've been better, much better. Good to see you again. Bob's recovering from an injury, or rather I've yet to get to repairing him of an injury. Katsuro is well, he's getting big too."
*LD looks at himself, this shows both his arms breifly, his natural right arm, and his mechanical left arm*
"Everyone is so surprised to see the uniform, though I suppose a millitary dress robe is a bit different from my normal clothes. Of course I'll be staying, I do need to catch up with you and Satorius. And yes, it has been much too long, so how have you been?"
*LD looks at over at Satorius breifly*
"Where can I put the case until after dinner?"

Did something happen? What happened to your arm..? Oh I'm sorry, I'll stop asking questions. Us? Oh, we're fine. We're always fine.
*She smiles and gestures deeper into the library.*
Come further, do come in. The living quarters are a bit further up, and dinner is ready.

*LD smiles breifly* "It's quite alright I get questions from kits all the time, I'm quite used to it. Glad to hear you are doing well." *LD nods* "Ok, sounds good, and smells it too." *He smiles and grabs the case to take with him if Satorius doesn't suggest a better place for it to go *

Satorius takes an examines the passport with interest, turning it to and fro, trying to figure out the exact workings of the thing. Strange... when he thinks passports, he generally thinks papers of identification and whatnot.
"Yes, we have a number of rooms down below where you can set the thing."
He hands the object back and follows after them, nodding to Xeno.

>Xeno smiles at LD's question, nodding towards the feline.<
"He would argue that I am his pet."
>Victus looks up at Cat and meows, simultaneously sending a mental message to her.<
<Hello, Tree. Food?>
"Oh, be patient Victus."
>Xeno pauses, wondering if he would offend his host if he said he preffered to keep the cloak. Overall, he decided that would not be the best idea. So, he removed the cloak and handed it to her. Underneath, he wore extremely plain clothing, save with a few notable differences:
He wore a black vest, a thing that was sown of luxurious threads. It looked to be silk, or some similar material, and had gold lining at the color and along the front. At his belt hung several small crystal spheres.
Other than that, it was mostly plain gray traveler's clothing.<
"Thank you for inviting me."

*Catriona jumps a little and looks confused for a moment or two before she sighs and looks down at Victus.*
Food is down there.
*She laughs.*
I don't think I'll ever get used to your doing that. Follow me.
*She takes Xeno's cloak and heads down the corridor between the bookcases, taking Satorius' arm. She gives Xeno a warm smile.*
You're very welcome.

Strange... when he thinks passports, he generally thinks papers of identification and whatnot."Yes, we have a number of rooms down below where you can set the thing." He hands the object back and follows after them, nodding to Xeno. *The moment Satorius grasps the Passport it lights up, an image of LD's upper torso is show, front and backside, in both he seems a bit agitated. A long string of Ceronian begins streaming up the right side of the passport. One who can read the language clearly makes out LD's name in Ceronian, which loosely translates to "Star Dragon" in common. A long string of defining marks are named as well as age and a few other atributes* *LD takes the passport back when Satorius hands it back. He returns it to the pocket he retrived it from. He looks down at Victus breifly then at Xeno, he chuckles* "I see, I think. Never had that kinda relationship with Bob or Katsuro, mabey I'm lucky." *LD nods to Satorius* "Sounds good, please, lead the way." *LD makes a point of following Satorius so as to be able to put the case down in one of the rooms Satorius mentioned*

"Certainly."
Satorius turns and walks towards a large runic pattern on the floor, some short ways away. It didn't take long for them to reach it, and once they stepped into the pattern the world seemed to spin around them at high speed, until their surroundings became blurred threads of color.
Some of those threads began turning dark, then more. When the spinning stopped, they were in some form of catacombs. Satorius gestured to the right.
"Down here, LD."
Then he led on, through the empty catacombs.
