Pyre didn't answer for a moment before replying, "2012; the year is 2012." Then, as he found out what a Bibliotek was, he contemplated the origin of such a word, wondering if maybe where she came from, things had different names. Maybe she was from another state which used it as slang... or maybe from a different country like the UK or Australia where they have their own vocabulary apart from that of The States. "We call it a library," he shrugged. "Why? Would you like to go there?" He wondered if Juliette could remember how to read. He'd never met anyone who'd just begun suffering from amnesia. He wasn't sure how much the person would forget.

Juliette coughed. "2012? Didn't you say he wrote this in 1600s?" She was nearly convinced she knew this Shakespeare but now she couldn't believe it. The beautiful turquoise eyes widened slightly in thought. Then where could she have heard him before?
Juliette nodded. "Library...hm...yes I believe that's where I must begin research. Considering these words don't seem to stand sirloin for long..." she said looking down at the English book.

Pyre nodded, wondering why Juliette sounded so amazed at the year. "To the library, then," he smiled, going to the door and turning the knob. The door opened wide as he looked at Juliette, waiting for her before he made his exit. He didn't enjoy the hospital wing of the school - he enjoyed more happier places over the smell of hand sanitizer and illness. He was a bit anxious to get out. It wasn't that he couldn't stand it or anything, he'd just rather breathe fresher air.

Juliette followed. Unsure of what to expect from the rest of the school. Her turquoise eyes curious but cautious. But when she exited the room she frowned. Everything was different. Less tranquility more elegance. The smell of fresh flowers form the garden outside and the flowers crawling up the vines hanging off the wall. The sum was soft that day and the air thin and light.
Juliette then looked over at Pyre even more despret tl find out who she was. "Where's this library of yours?"

Pyre smiled, looking ahead. "Just down the hall," he replied, closing the door behind them and walking forward a little before turning down another hallway. "And then down this hall!" he laughed, glancing behind him to make sure Juliette was following. They weren't far from the library. It was all in the same building, given it is a large building.

Juliette sighed. "How big is this academy?" she asked in her obvious old accent that seemed to emphasize her impatience. The teacher of literature wanted answers, and rather quickly. But then she smiled. "Well at least it's nice, very elegant. Even smells nice," she admitted sheepishly as she looked out a nearby window.

Pyre laughed, slowing down to walk side by side with Juliette. "It's pretty big, I guess, but once your here for a while it seems to shrink on you. This is just one building. There are multiple buildings scattered around the campus which includes a forest, a lake, and everything!" he grinned. He glanced out the window and smiled, seeing the flowers. "Yeah it does smell nice - better than most schools." He then turned into a large room lined with books, at the back being a computer room. "Here we are - the library."

Juliette looked around walking down the aisle, she typically scanned the library before searching. But the computers had caughter her attention. Her gorgeous turquoise eyes widening "And what is this?" she asked gently poking the computer. Running her hand over it she frowned. "Is it supposed to be some form of book case or shrine?" she asked picking up the mouse, the red light making her jump as she dropped it.
Bending down she picked it up and noticed the wires. "Do you practice torture here?" she asked carefully avoiding the red light unsure of what it was. But it temporarily made her vision bright when she held it close to her face. Setting the mouse back down she picked up the key board. Her finger running over it. After pressing down on some keys she frowned. What use was this for?
Next she studied the screen. The computer screen just reflected herself. Was that it's purpose? Pressing on a small light she jumped back. The screen lighting up. Staring cautiously at it she frowned "What is this thing?" she asked Julien her voice mixed between curiosity, confusion, and a bit of outrage. Why would people waste gold on such a useless piece of junk that only light up, showed your reflection, and temporarily blinded you?

Pyre's initial reaction to Juliette's wonder was one of shock. Had she never seen a computer before? Perhaps it was imply something she'd forgotten. But, soon he was holding back a laugh, hoping she didn't break the thing. "This is a computer," he smiled. "You can use it to find a lot of information and even add your own information." Yes, that kept it simple... right? Of course there were many things one could do on a computer and many things they could do with and to information. Still, for Juliette's sake, he'd keep things as basic as possible and, if given the chance, ease her into things she didn't understand. That's how you're supposed to do it, isn't it? Dropping everything on her at once would probably cause a mental breakdown or something. If she learned on her own with some guidance from those who weren't comatose for a week to help her along.

Juliette clicked the button again and the screen flickered off. "Information? What kind of information? Why would you waste gold on this thing when you have books?" she asked him with a frown. She picked up the mouse again and studied it closely. Pulling at it before dropping it again and walking around the computer, as he called it. Seeing a wire coming out of it she toughed at it "And what's this used for? For tying the information together?" she asked him with a frown.

Pyre decided he'd better explain more. So, he continued. "The information is stored all over the world. You can get much more information from this computer than if you read every book within a thousand miles. Books take up too much space. With this, you can access the same information all of these books can give you while conserving space and the time taking to find the correct book." Holding the wire up, slightly, so he didn't pull it out but still held it up higher than it normally would be, he explained, "This wire is what you use to get that information. It's all a very complicated process and I'm only simplifying it. In reality, I don't know, exactly, how to explain everything or even what everything does. But I do, however, know how to use it," he grinned, walking to the front and logging into it, bringing up the internet. "Tell me, what do you want to learn? Greek history? Funny jokes? Romeo and Juliet?" he asked, the last a bit of a joke about her name.

Juliette frowned "But books...they are like magic...that...this computer isn't. It's like a cheat code to books. How do you sit by a fire with all these wires?" she asked her eyes narrowing at the computer in dislike.
"Romeo and Juliet?" she asked confused. Romeo...she knew a Romeo...Or she felt like she knew a Romeo. The name made her feel weird. But she couldn't decide how yet... "Romeo, Romeo, were is the Romeo from?" she asked. The name rolled off her tongue so easily she was certain she either knew a Romeo or was familiar with the name

Pyre ignored her question, mostly because it was a good point. "Romeo? He's a character in a play by William Shakespeare - you saw one of his scripts in the hospital in that book," he said, typing Romeo and Juliet into Google. He brought up a page about it and read aloud. "Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy about a thirteen year old girl who was destined to marry a count by the name of Paris. However, she'd fallen in love with another - Romeo Montague." He didn't read on, turning to Juliette. "It's a pretty good play - world famous. Maybe you should read it sometime. It's here in the library, somewhere, under the classical plays area."

Paris. Romeo and Paris. It seemed familiar. They seemed soo familiar. Her eyes closed momentarily I thought. "Paris is rather familiar too...they feel like part of a dream... Do you think you can find me this book?" she asked wondering if it was a clue to who she was. Or is.

Pyre nodded, quickly shutting off the computer and heading further into the library. "Here we go, classical plays," he said, quietly, not exactly to himself nor to Juliette. "Shakespeare... and... Aha!" he half-shouted. "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet," he said, handing Juliette the book. "Enjoy."
