Whoops

Together they sat in the empty library side by side as they read what they had chosen. As Xilo turned through page he slowly learned more and more about Astral Zones and what they were exactly. The information he found from start to finish was, firstly Astral Zones are areas around the world that randomly and sporadically appear anywhere and at anytime.

"Knew that."

Though he had already known that it was a good refresher and confirmation on previous knowledge that might have been wrong. Secondly Astral Zones spawns random Beasts from Creature A to creature B it didn't matter. Though most Astral Zones tend to have a larger specific type that frequently appears more then others do and they also spawn random treasures as well. Although the more popular easy ones tend to have nothing of use because people continuously go to them and pick things up. So by that information people eventually learned that leaving some areas in the Astral Zone untouched for a period of time or less visited zones tend to yield better results in the treasure department. But it doesn't affect Astral Creatures spawn strength or cycle.

"Gotta put some hard work in eh?"

The third important piece of information he learned was that two Astral Zones will never appear too close to each other. Having said that it didn't mean it was entirely accurate because not all Astral Zones are found and explored and the information he read was only about known Astral Zones so it could be different.

After about 20 minutes of reading he finally got interrupted by something.

*Nudge*

Xelfia herself had also been reading books about Astral Zones to try and make things easier on Xilo but unfortunately halfway through she ended up feeling bored herself but she did end up finding a potentially interesting piece of information she could at least give him so it wasn't completely in vain.

"Hey."

After a couple seconds of nudging him with her hand she finally got his attention. "He was really absorbed, maybe I shouldn't have bothered him." Seeing how absorbed he was when reading she started having second thoughts but now that she had already gotten his attention it was too late for her to turn back.

"What?"

Hearing his voice though and seeing him turn to face her and noticing his facial expression she finally calmed down some of her worries because she couldn't see and hear any annoyance in his face or tone at least.

"Umm..."

"Yes?"

Seeing Xelfia attempting to find the right words he kept waiting for her to reply. He didn't exactly know why she was taking her time speaking but he left it alone figuring she was probably thinking about what to say.

"I think I found something that might be important."

"Oh then what is it?"

Hearing that slightly got him excited. Since he had been reading the basics about Astral Zones he probably wasn't going to figure out anything he particularly wanted but seeing as how she could choose anything she might have found something he wanted to find instead. Which was a great time saver for both of them.

"You said you wanted to find an Astral Zone as soon as possible right?"

"Yea, did you find one?"

"Maybe, Wanna know?"

Seeing Xilo's eagerness that was rarely displayed coupled with her boredom a sudden urge to mess with him struck her. She was definitely going to have fun with this.

"Of course I'd like to know, You know that."

"Hehe, you do, do you?"

Saying that she quickly took the book she had grabbed from the shelf and put it behind her back in case he tried to snatch it from her. "Not on my watch." Laughing with glee she turned around to notice Xilo staring at her for a couple of seconds until he himself started to laugh as well.

"Haha, I see what you're up to now>"

With all the time they had spent together now with her human form he was starting to see more and more of her personality. At least when they were alone together and with that he learned one thing over the course of the time. Xelfia was a very playful person. There had been a couple of times on their walk together towards Belturn where she would randomly start to attempt to play games with him from poking him to attempting to block his path with her Astral Energy. At first he was surprised to see such things being done by her but after a couple times he'd gotten used to it a bit. But even now it still took him by surprise.

"Having fun?"

"I am now"

"If you wanted to read or do something else you can always do such a thing you know? I'm not going to stop you."

"I know but.."

"But?"

"But...do you wanna know the information I have now?"

Hearing that Xilo knew he had no choice but to give up. All he could do was simply nod his head and wait.

"When I was reading this book, I ended up finding the location of an Astral Zone and quite a big one at that and would you guess where it is? Here in Belturn."

"It's in Belturn!? really?"

Saying that Xilo unconsciously jumped out of his seat and took Xelfia by her arms in the heat of the moment. But noticing that he quickly tried to back off since that wasn't what he planned to do. He just couldn't help it. If there was really an Astral Zone in Belturn it would make things a lot easier and more convenient. Unfortunately Xelfia wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily. Before he could pull away she quickly grabbed his hands and forced them to stay where they were on her shoulders. With a slight smile she turned to Xilo again after securing her prey.

"Yes, really. Now what's this."

Saying that she signaled to the hands she had kept on her shoulders to Xilo."

"A-an accident."

Being forced in such a position all he could was answer the best way he possibly could. Though it wasn't a good one and they both knew that.
