( whoops I didn't hear you're question sorry James ) Drina put the book away, not having enough money for it, and began to leave the store. But then suddenly there was a crash, sending the whole place quaking. Shelves began to fall over, and Drina fell onto her side.

(He asked, "How do you do, Drina?")
( WhOoPs ) Drina screamed as a heavy book fell on her head.

Bree whipped her head around as she heard a crash, and her hood fell down, revealing her strangely-colored hair. Shelves fell over as the room began to shake violently, and a girl collapsed as a large book fell on her head. Bree raced over to her, ignoring her exposed hair and trying to help her up.
Drina jumped to her feet, nodding at the girl who helped her up. She then ran around silently dragging people out of the crumbling bookstore.
group
The girl jumped to her feet and nodded to Bree, who smiled gently at her. After the girl ran off to help other people, Bree heard someone clear their throat behind her. Slowly turning around, she saw the young man the girl had been with earlier. (If James wants to play along?)
Adeline had watched the whole scene play out from a tree branch nearby. She didn't know what it was, but something about these people interested her and she wanted to stay near them. She took out her stolen apple, tossing it in the air and catching it, before taking a bite. The apples were disgusting and sour, Addie knew the taste well. Poison. She had built up quite the resistance to it over time and although she wasn't the purest of souls, Addie did not want to see the young woman die. She just had to wait for the right moment to help, and by help, she meant to steal all of the young woman's apples.
Once everyone was outside Drina sighed. What just happened? she thought. Her sack of apples still hung at her side.
As soon as the piece of Maroon hair had fell out of the cloak James knew who it was. and he was stunned. So much so that when the shelves and books started flying everywhere he didn't even notice; until Drina fell down and the Princess rushed towards her dragging her outside. James looked back at the cowering, old shop keeper and helped him out. When he was sure there was no one else within the store he walked out and tried to figure what had caused the commotion.
Then he was the Princess once more, he went to her and cleared his throat.
"Your Majesty, what ever are you doing in the town without protection? These streets can be very dangerous, it would be a shame to have the princess of the kingdom be killed in a book shop."

"How do you know me?" questioned Bree, her voice shaking. No one outside the nobles knew who she was, and she knew each of them. At least, she thought she did.
Drina stared at the two of them, her lips not moving, but her eyes were alight with commotion. The… princess? she thought, and then she cursed inwardly. A royal, right in front of her. She scoffed inwardly as well.
"I'm the lords son, i've been to a feast or two that the King has hosted for the nobles of the land."
group
"Which lord?" Bree questioned. "There are many. There's Lord Drinian, Lord Snow, Lord Cavendish, and many more."
Drina tried to back away slowly, unnoticed. Hopefully their conversation would go over her head, they wouldn't notice her, and she could get to the bottom of the crumbling bookstore.
"Lord Blackwood." He Noticed Drina was leaving and frowned slightly, but continued his conversation with the Princess
Drina ran over to the ruin of the bookstore, still in sight of everyone. She walked around the rubble, until she noticed a small feather. Not just any feather though. Drina knew this feather.
group
"Lord Blackwood? Oh, yes, I remember you now! James, am I correct?" asked Bree.
"You are." He smiled, "What brings you into to town today?"
group
Bree smiled back. "A new book," she said. "I just finished my last one, and– Hey, what's that girl over there doing?"
Drina picked up the small feather and pulled out a small chain from her pocket. Then she somehow (OOOH) got the feather attached, and put it around her neck. She continued her search finding books scattered around, and trying to salvage everything she could.
group
(I'm done for the day. Sorry, guys!)
James looked to see the woman from before trying to go over to Drina quietly. She had already taken one apple, what did she still want? He went over to check it out, surprisingly, the Princess followed him, full of her own curiosity.
Adeline's hand reached out and tugged the bag of apples, luckily, the knot was loose and she was able to get a hold of them easily. She felt bad for the woman who had bought poisoned apples but she thought that it would be better for her to be poor rather than dead.
He saw the woman take the last of the apples and stealthily walked away. He started walking after her; unaware that the lot of them were poisoned.
Adeline saw the man from earlier begin to follow her and began to run towards the forest, hoping to gain an advantage against him if he tried to attack her.
She obviously thought she could outrun him, but little did she know he could run, he could run very fast. After 6 minutes of running through the forest he finally caught up and tackled her to the ground.
"Why are you going around stealing apples?" He demanded pinning her to the ground.
Addie squirmed in his grasp before realising that it was no use. Finally, she stopped before looking him directly in the eyes, "Just trying to save a good woman's life."
Drina looked up. Where were her apples? She looked over at the princess, and narrowed her eyes.
group
Bree saw the girl who had been with James earlier narrow her eyes at her and wondered what she was thinking. Then she noticed that her apples were gone.
She thinks I took them? Why would I do that? I would never! she thought in indignation.
"I swear I didn't take your apples. Maybe James saw something," she said, turning to find him speaking with another girl. "Hey, James! Did you happen to see what happened to this girl's apples?"
"How the hell are you doing that by stealing her food?" He asked bewildered
