Lost in thoughts foreign to Element, he did not notice the canine come in until he heard the click-click-click of a dog's nails scraping against the floor. He opened one emerald eye and trained it on the canine that had come through the door to the library; he was in a thin, wiry Lupus form that maneuvered easily through the rubble. He was a dark orange, and his fur was adorned with black; his eyes, however, sported a clear white color. Element didn't have to wait long for the canine to speak, and he uttered a hello only seconds after Element spotted him.
"Hello," the ebony feline replied; on a normal day, he would have said it with more vigor or interest, but today, he was a shell of his former self; he hadn't gotten over that strange day with the two Lykois when his anger had almost gotten him killed. He didn't regret it, however - he didn't regret it at all. And if he saw that Lykoi again...the ebony feline didn't know what he would do. He didn't know what he would do at all.
He shook the dark thoughts from his head and focused on the visitor; it'd be rude to ignore him. "Are you here for a book?" he asked pleasantly. He gestured around the library. "There are many that weren't damaged by the storm."
His eyes wandered over to the books that lay drying on the other window shelf parallel to Element's; they were looking better each day, and Element was glad because of it. Many of them the sable feline hadn't read yet, and he would have been sad if he didn't get a chance to delve into their many leaves. It would distract him from his whirling thoughts and take him to a place he had not yet adventured to.
