Kraven strode into Tomes&Scrolls seeking out some reading material, a light smile gracing his lips. Pausing to nod a light greeting to the store clerk he went off down one of the many rows of books. His hand so delicately reaching out to brush the spine of a select few that caught his eye. The book about Owl Breeds seemed to all but leap out at him from the shelf. "Owls, I love owls." he mused thinking of his barn owl Elle. He then moved, to lean against one of the walls and read. He was relaxed leaning there, book in hand, not a care in the world. Owls were one of his adoration's, and with him being a bibliophile books were his passion.
While he wasn't on the job at St.Mungo's he usually spent his time at the bookshop or at the pub drinking a cuppa or even coffee at times. He hadn't interacted with too many people as of yet but was keen on making friends, the company was always welcomed. Breathing a gentle sigh he flipped yet another page in the book, continuing on through the novel.

Mera was so happy to finally be able to walk into Tomes and Scrolls for some casual reading and not having to buy books for her classes. She didn't mind the latter of course. She loved her job. However, it was nice to read something just to read it... But what to read? As she looked about, she heard a man speak of a book on owls with great enthusiasm. Mynk was mainly a cat person, but loved animals in general, and the words inspired her to perhaps find a book on Egyptian Cats and their legendary magical powers. However, first she decided to greet the gentleman who inspired her... and the book she wanted was no doubt in the same section. "Good day," she said, a bit of her Romanian accent coming out. She then got a good look at him and recognized him as a man from her House that was three years older than her. "Kraven... Kraven Stirling? It's Mera. How are you?"KRAVEN ALISTER STIRLING

Lifted from his reading by a voice with a Romanian lilt, he offered a kind smile. "Good-" his greeting broke off as recognition flickered in his ice blue eyes. Smiling a much truer smile Kraven now held out his hand to greet his old housemate. "Mera, good to see you. I'm doin' alright, yourself?" the tone he held was kind and marred by his slightly northern accent. "I haven't seen you in a good while, what've you been up to?"
Curiosity was the base of his emotion, having not seen too many from his old house. Ravenclaw was a great house and he had enjoyed his memories there. Adjusting again he set the book down on a near by table, having decided he could continue reading later. If he remembered correctly Mera would have been in her fourth year when Kraven himself was in his seventh. He nearly felt embarrassed, if she hadn't spoken his name he probably would have overlooked her, too caught up in his book.

Mynk smiled as Kraven said he was doing well. "I'm pleased to hear it, and I am doing well," she said. "Most of my time consists of my Hogwarts duties, but I try to relax a bit in Hogsmeade when I can. It's been a rough time with our beloved Headmistress gone, but fortunately she has been found and returned safely." Mera then chuckled. "But I am rambling now. You know as well as I what has occurred from the Prophet no doubt. I hear you are at St. Mungo's these days. I trust your job there is going well?"
She then looked over to see her book. She took it and skimmed it over to confirm it was indeed the one she was looking for. "Egyptian Cats play quite a role in the history of Divination," she said. " Few know that many Ancient Egyptian Sorcerers used them to tell the future."KRAVEN ALISTER STIRLING

"Thats good to hear" He responded and then smirked slightly, a bit surprised. "So you stayed then, at Hogwarts, sounds fun. I hope the kids don't give you trouble, though more often then not they will." Laughing softly he shook his head a bit. Listening intently once again, a flash of concern came across his features at the news about the Head Mistress. "Ah..well at least she was found safe and sound, was she kidnapped or somethin'?"
When she brought up his work he simply smiled, he loved his job. "It goes as well as expected for the magical disease department, but I'm happy there. Healing others is a great honor, knowing you make a difference." He mused proudly, blue eyes following her movements as she too found a book. "Cats eh? Cats are good companions I'd imagine, intelligent. I've heard many prefer them as their familiars, something to do with enhancing their magic, not sure if that's true though. I have an owl myself, Elle, she's quite a funny little thing."

Mera chuckled about the kids giving her trouble.
"Well some of them share the opinion of their elders on the teaching of Divination," she said. "They believe it is a... what is that word... bogus subject? But I have reached a few of them, and that is enough to make my job worth it."
She was then quite surprised that Kraven had not heard about the kidnapping. It was one of the biggest stories of the recent past, along with the attacks on the Potters and Weasleys. She could only assume that Kraven had possibly been away... or avoided reading the Daily Prophet.
"You must be very busy indeed," she said. "Minerva was kidnapped by the Dark Lady, the same woman who has been causing trouble all over the magical part of London."
She was happy to hear his job was treating him well.
"I am glad you are happy with it, and what you do is very noble," she said. She then chuckled at what Kraven said about cats. "My own cat Medusa is quite a wonderful companion, as your owl no doubt is to you."

Kraven beamed, it was nice to have an actual conversation with someone other than his patients and co-workers. "If they don't believe you'll just have to do your best to try and have them see." Divination hadn't been his best subject but he had always been in awe of it and the gifted few that could see what others could not.
Rubbing the back of his neck a bit sheepishly he chuckled. "Yes well, I don't read the paper much at all. I don't like to worry myself over a story that could or could not be true. Too much false information is weaved into papers these days."
"Thank you for thinking so, I appreciate it." Kraven smiled kindly, not many thanked him but he didn't expect them to. "Elle is quite the storyteller, I enjoy talking with her. She often tells me about what she's seen when delivering my letters."

Mera smirked at the suggestion, but shook her head. " Sadly, Divination is not an art or subject you can force on another," she said. "As with any interest, the person must development for himself or herself."Mera supposed Kraven had a point, but for her Minerva's disappearance was very well and hit home. Minerva was not only a respected Headmistress, but Mera's good friend. "Fair enough, but I do hold a great deal of respect for the Daily Prophet for handling the story so well," she said. Mynk smiled about Kraven being able to speak with his owl. "I have to admit I envy such an ability," she said. "I have strong affinity toward felines, and my Medusa and I get along quite well, but I wish I could speak with her and truly discover what is on what is no doubt her complex mind. But the bond is still there, and sometimes she is all I have."KRAVEN ALISTER STIRLING

"That is also true, if they don't wish to see you cannot force them." Shrugging he chuckled a bit and took a slow breath. He was relieved to hear that the Prophet handled the story well. "Good. They didn't massacre it with lies, that is an improvement for any news print." he mused and smirked a bit.
"The ability is interesting but sometimes the conversations can be repetitive, either way I do enjoy having it." Smiling gently now he placed a hand on her arm in a comforting way. "Hey you aren't alone, you might just have Medusa at home if that is the case, but you have many students to see day to day. Not to mention the large staff at Hogwarts. Then there's me, I'm here, an old classmate. " The offer was light, if he could offer anything it would be his company.

Mynk nodded to Kraven's statement about forcing people to "see". "Yes, and many think that because there are so few true Seers in the world, there is no hope for them in Divination, which is far from the truth," she said. "Just because what does not possess the Inner Eye does not mean one cannot see things through cartomancy and the like."Mynk just sighed a bit about the Prophet and Kraven's seeming opinion on journalism in general. She would say no more of it though. Good conversation was often tainted when a debate was carried too far. Mera perked a bit as the man placed his hand on her arm. She had always found Kraven handsome after all, but never told him so at Hogwarts due to their age difference being a bit more significant at that time. "Thank you for your kind words, Kraven," she said. "Perhaps if you plan to be here for a while, we can have a bite to eat and catch up more?"KRAVEN ALISTER STIRLING

Kraven too dropped the subject, they both were entitled to their opinions. Straightening up slightly he cast another glance over the rows of books idly, then looked again at Mera. Her invitation made him smile, it had surprised him but none the less he was happy. "Yeah I'll be around, it's not my shift tonight." Kraven mused in reply and took a light breath. "When are you free?"
He had to admit she was very beautiful and silently regretted not speaking to her more during their school days. Though with him being three years ahead the classes didn't line up. Chuckling softly at the memories he gave his head a light shake, trying not to be distracted by his inner thoughts and ramblings.

Mera smiled at the gentleman when he accepted the invitation and asked when she was free. "I am free now," she said. "I have found my book and I am done with my work at Hogwarts for the day. I was planning to go home, fix a small dinner, read my book a bit, and go to bed, but I believe the plans have changed, yes?" She gave a sweet little smirk. Mera had not had the best luck in the romance department, but she certainly knew how to turn on the Mynk family charm when she needed to. "I could use a nice cup of tea as well," she said. "Madam Puddifoot's, perhaps? Or if you want something more filling to eat, we could go to the Three Broomsticks." As long as it wasn't the Hog's Head Inn, she was fine with wherever she went. She never was a fan of that place. KRAVEN ALISTER STIRLING

"Fantastic~" He beamed when she replied that she was free currently. "I'll pay for my book and we can head out yeah?" Offering a kind and almost sheepish smile he went to the counter. Murmuring a kind thanks he took out his wallet and paid for the book, pleased with what he found. Tucking the book into an inside pocket of his jacket he turned back to Esmeralda.
"I'd say the plans have changed yeah, I was going to go home to a noisy owl and a meager dinner with my cooking skills. However, spending some time at Madam Puddifoots with you is much more inviting." Nodding he patiently waited for her to finish whatever she needed to in the shop. Offering his arm in an invitation he smiled again, more relaxed and less nervous than he had felt. He'd been to Madam Puddifoots before but not often, his shifts kept him otherwise occupied.

Once they arrived at the tea shop, the hostess showed them to a table. She smiled at Mynk because for one thing she knew the woman, and for another she thought the good woman had finally found a companion. Knowing what the look meant, Mynk indicated nothing to that- not a yes, but not a no either. She simply ordered her tea and a shrimp salad when the waiter arrived as well.
"I certainly was not expecting this today," she said to Kraven once he was to order his food and drink. "But I am glad we came here."
Now what to discuss over the meal. It seemed like they had covered so much in the book shop. Mera remained quite for a moment, but spoke again when her tea arrived.
"So, what plans do you have for the new year?" she asked. "Any of those... what do the Muggles call them... resolutions?"

It didn't go unnoticed by Kraven the smile that the waitress gave to Esmeralda but he thought nothing of it. Seating himself across from Esmeralda he ordered some tea and a chicken salad. Closing the menu and returning it to the waitress he looked back to the company in front of him. "I didn't either but this is a nice change of pace, I too am glad we came." He replied with a light smile.
Folding his hands together he listened to her question and had to think a moment. "Hmm..plans for the new year eh? I'm not sure, perhaps the hospital will have a celebratory party or something of the like." Giving a light shrug he then continued answering the second question. "Yes, I do have at least one resolution. I want to help more of the wizarding community to the best of my ability. Simple enough but it's something." Chuckling he smiled softly. "Do you have any resolutions?"
