Uh... Is it- working?

[Okay, those are definitely the letters that make up the word uh but the rest of it is just jumbled up nonsense. Still, Cass is just going to trust this thing is writing down what she's saying.]

I'm- lost. I think. Castle is big. In book room. Um, library. [Come on Cass, use the right names for things.] Could use [help] information. Um... tips? Meeting in person... would be best.

[Nothing happens for a minute, but then Cass remembers the important part about introductions: You have to actually introduce yourself.]

I'm Cassandra. Cain.

[If anyone does go looking for her, they'll find Cass poking through the books and possibly looking at them like she's reading them, but once you're close enough it's clear... she's holding the book upside down. Oops.]

((ooc: Cass can't read, so any written replies might give her trouble. Feel free to find her in the library for in person meetings!)

[dorkwonder]

What name would you suggest?

[hellofist]

... I like Tim.

[dorkwonder]

[Smiles at her.] You can still call me Tim around people who know the truth, okay?

[hellofist]

Who else knows?

[dorkwonder]

Steph, Kara, Ezio [grumbles], Lucrezia, and you. Ezio and Lucrezia know me or of me from my time here before.

[hellofist]

[She studies him for a moment, taking all that in.]

You don't like them.

[dorkwonder]

I don't trust them. [Pauses.] I don't trust and like Ezio. He's a sexist, obnoxious, and an unrepentant assassin. In some ways, he's like us, in the sense he wants to protect others from the tragedies he's experience. Unlike us, he crosses the line over and over again.

[Tim doesn't care that he's an assassin, because Rose and Cass were both raised to be an assassin. What bothers him is the countless people Ezio has likely murdered, and doesn't seem to feel even the slightest guilt over.]

[hellofist]

[Cass squeezes his hand lightly, a silent sign of her understanding and support.]

Is there anyone here... you do like?

[dorkwonder]

You. [The muscles in his body relax, while he offers her a smile.]

[hellofist]

[Well, that settles that. Cass stops them, but it's only so she can put her arms around Tim's neck and hug him.]

Like you too.

[dorkwonder]

[Wraps his arms around her, hugging her tightly. Any extra time he has with, especially while she's like this, is a gift. One he's not planning on taking for granted or losing sight of.]

[hellofist]

After... everything, with Steph, will come see you. We should... spend time, too.

[dorkwonder]

Agreed. I'll be disappointed if Steph gets you for the entire evening. [Mostly joking. He wants the two of them to spend as much time together as possible.]

[hellofist]

[Cass can't say she feels the exact same way, but fair is fair and she doesn't want Tim to be lonely.]

Just make sure... you have good food.
