the Capricorn tavern were filled with loud boisterous voices, and it was easy to fade here, into the shadow of an unused booth. it was easy as simply finding the shade for law to have his creature comfort. without a mother curling along his shadow or a sibling trailing around his long curling tail lawkit found the tie to be alone in the quiet and in the noise. a peace within a din of a chorus of drunkards and the flow of hushed words. drunken confessions that everyone would pretend to ignore for their keen hearing.

but the Capricorn filled another purpose, it told law many things here beyond the strands of ink darkening his paws at the very moment. information was a valuable resource, closely guarded secret and a hymn of power traded between friendlies. the book was merely an invitation for the ignorant, and a bluff for the knowing. keen where the darkening golden eyes, as they swept throughout the tavern, watching the barkeep for an avid moment as they leaned down to give a strange drink towards a newcomer; law wondered what it was, and heard the giggle of an older patron further in, knowing.

law's eyes narrowed, but then he spotted the brilliant hue of his sibling and his atention was diverted. "[glow=grey,2,300]love, it's good to see you.[/glow]" the smile that law gave was honest, earnest. the shadow in his expression lightening at the sight of his own brother. the largest of the lot of them glared around at the tavern, threadbare wings spreading in a silent threat that most would recognize as a bluff. the whispering- the gossip here was annoying, but it served it's purpose.

law silently offered the book for his brother, a grin along law's smile as he shared the small margin gibberish that he had wrote. some of it was common knowlege, but some of it wasn't.

everyone is born with blue eyes

it was written childish, but legible next to an uncolored monkey on the page.

but then there was their aunt, a sheepish- boyish grin gracing the solem child with the innocence of childhood still. "[glow=grey,2,300]i haven't tried to hide my presence here[/glow]"- no but it were now obvious, another gathering within the pub, and the group was getting curious looks, of course such a new- younge faces of him and his brother- paired with the officer of the typhoon- auntie would drawl attention, and he lowered his ears slightly, being sure to make room for both of them within the booth. "[glow=grey,2,300]do you think they would be mad? I haven't had anything but water, and juice here- the bartender is really nice![/glow]"- even if he seems to have a habbit of spiking drinks- ah

"[glow=grey,2,300]ano- i'm just here because it's... shady. and it's hot outside.[/glow]"
