[So, might as well start exploring this place. Cole wanders into the library, looking around. Even after that strange encounter with, what she says, the third Charmed One, Cole still needs to get his bearings.]
So... Lets see here... Fiction.
[And he starts wandering off in the direction of, what he thinks, is the fiction section.]
[She raises an eyebrow] Your sense of humor is just as bad as I remember.
[She watches him as he looks her over, not moving. Her mind races, part of her wants to run, get as far from him as she possibly can... the other part remembers that he's from before he lost control, when he was trying to be good. Hanging over all of it was the overwhelming sadness that came from actually seeing the lack of recognition in his eyes. Her eyes betrayed some of that sadness as she crossed her arms in front of her stomach]
[Something makes him cut off that jab. Maybe it was seeing the sadness in Phoebe's eyes?] Sorry. I'm just kinda... Kinda overwhelmed by all this. Part of me wants to accept this, but there's this nagging feeling that I'm in danger here.
For the most part we're safe. Sometimes the castle changes things... people. A month or so after I got here we all ended up on pirate ships. The one I was on was attacked and we had to defend the ship. In the time I've been here only two things like that have happened. Other than that, it's a relatively peaceful place. There's a group that keeps people safe, imprisons criminals in a jail here in the castle.
[Her eyes flick down to the book she'd set aside] What apparently passes for popular fiction in 2008. It's... I don't think I even have the words to describe how bad it is. [she chuckles]
[Oh, Harry. She laughs.] You came from around the same time you're from, now. Though... you remembered me last time.
[She shrugs, taking a couple of steps away and leaning back on a table] You put a vampire on trial for attacking people. You lost. She was on a loss, the castle made her lose control and the jury decided she wasn't responsible. There isn't law per se. There are a group of us who work together to try to keep everyone else safe from whatever the castle throws our way... and any residents who turn out to be evil.
So... Lets see here... Fiction.

Cole?
[GDIT. She mentally smacks herself. She REALLY needs to start thinking before opening her mouth.]

"Sorry, do I know you? Or are you one of the voices from the book?"

You do. Or, rather, you did. I'm Phoebe Halliwell.

[He takes a moment to look her over]
Charmed, I'm sure. [Was that an intentional pun? Cole's expression remains intentionally neutral.]

Finding your way around alright?

[He frowns slightly, catching that hint of sadness.] Still getting used to this whole place, but I think I'll manage.

[She shifts from one foot to the other. This isn't awkward at aaaaaaaaaall] D-Do you have any questions?

I think the last time I was here...I was still ADA? Some Harry guy said I was being "SuperLawyer Dickhead," I think his exact words were.
