Shiloh knew about Eve through Jamie, and she sounded like a kind (if not eccentric) person. In all honesty he had wanted to meet with her more solely on that account, but now he actually had a purpose. A mission. A super important mission (which might not be that important at all, rather than just pure curiosity). Regardless it led him here to Equinox.
The inside was pungent with the aroma of various teas, but this was also coming from someone who wasn't fond of tea in the first place. Sure, he drank it on occasion to help with his restlessness and his sleeplessness and his occasional stress, but that didn't mean he liked it, he just liked drinking it with Jamie because it gave them a nice little moment together at the end of every night.
Ah, but he was letting his thoughts wander all over the place. Equinox wasn't as populated as he remembered it being, but having the quiet space might suit his purposes better. He had important magic s**t to talk about anyway. Gripping the sketchbook he had in the crook of his arm, he stepped all the way inside and let the door shut quietly behind him.

Shiloh jumped slightly, obviously surprised, "You work here?" He blinked rapidly a few times before shaking his head, "Well, uh, yeah. I guess you dead. Hey! This means you're not dead." Shiloh had no idea what the ******** a Homestuck was though.
"So that's a plus. Uh, I'll buy something if I have to, but I was actually looking for someone named Eve?" He looked around the shop, and then back to Julian, slightly weirded out by his weird way of announcing things. "If she's available, I mean."

Julian gave an enthusiastic nod at Shiloh's observation that he was, in fact, not dead. "Eve is my aunt," he replied, an explanation and a verification all at once. "She owns Equinox, actually. I help her out at the store because I feel I owe it to her and Leila for taking me in after running away from Chicago." He rattled this out candidly while leading Shiloh to the back of the store and gesturing towards one of the insidiously comfortable armchairs available to sit at. "You don't need to buy anything. I will go and fetch Eve. She is a wonderful person I would give my life for..."
His voice trailed off, not because he had decided to stop talking, but because he was still talking as he walked away and toward the office and kitchen. It was just becoming more difficult to understand him the farther away he was.
After a minute or two, Clover trotted over to sit next to Shiloh's table. Eve appeared next, making herself comfortable across from her customer.
"Hello," she greeted warmly. "I take it you're Oliver's brother? How was the full moon for him?"

Something was very off here. Maybe this was just how Julian was in the waking world? But he seemed so dry and irritably and grumpy before. His brow furrowed as he walked away, voice still rambling.
"H-Hi..." He was still immensely put off by the display earlier, "Um, yeah, I'm Shiloh. I've heard about you from Jamie." He smiled, sort of, "Is he always like that? No offense, but it's kinda..." He waved his hand and dropped the subject.
"...nevermind. Anyway, I think he took it okay. He ended up being a raccoon he said." He set the sketchbook out on his table. "Um, I really appreciate the stuff you do for him and Jamie. It really helps them out..." How to be polite to adults, how, how, how... "I can wait if you're busy? But I kinda wanted to ask you something. It's kinda ********' weird."

Shiloh gawked, "You're kidding!" His hands slammed down onto the table a little too hard, blood pressure probably rising a little bit. It showed in the ruddiness of his face. "How? He? Who tithed—but—" His head was spinning with this new information. At least it sounded like he went voluntarily...
"Not... offputting I guess. Nothing bad." He cracked his knuckle anxiously. This topic was obviously a great source of stress for the teenager, "He was just acting weird. I mean, I've only met him once, but he wasn't so... so... I dunno, thrilled to exist?"
He sighed as he started to thumb through his sketchbook. "Well, thanks for letting me know I guess. At least his fetch seems really obvious." He glanced up where Julian had vanished off to, looking not unlike a wary, cornered animal. He didn't like the sound of this at all, but whatever. It wasn't his life; but he was jealous with those that had a choice in the matter.

"No, no, it's fine I'm sorry." His words came out a little jumbled, but he was managing to settle down. He handled this sort of thing better than he used to, but his feeling were still the same. Not to mention the information had caught him completely off guard. Either way he was quickly composed, cheeks flushed and flustered from losing his cool so easily.
"It's uh, kind of a weird request." He opened the book to a specific page, one where he had a detailed image of the new sigil sketched. Underneath it were the runes Noeh had transcribed.

"I spoke with The Sorrowful One recently. Y'know, Noeh. There's been a lot of weird shifts in the Court recently so I had to see her; um, that's not why I came though." He gently touched the runes, "She pointed out that the keys in the sigil were Ogham runes--whatever the ******** those are--and she pointed me in your direction to have them read. Said "Eve Fitzpatrick is into that crunchy granola stuff"." He looked back up to her.
"So. Y'know. Here I am." He looked a little sheepish. "I've kinda been meaning to stop by anyway. Ollie 'n Jamie speak pretty highly of you."

Shiloh had the most intense expression on his face. It was his thinking face, which was rarely used, but used more so in recent times. He nodded slowly, "I knew that much, yeah." Sonny had told him that anyway when he first found out about his status as a principal. Only problem was America was hesitant to jump into the idea and he had no idea who the third one was. At least Meri was a friend of Sonny's too, so he wasn't too worried about her caution. It was healthy, considering Shiloh lacked the ability to hold off and be careful.
"Sonny's the one caged now." He said as he sat up, though his eyes were still locked on the runes like they might give him some new insight. "Which is why I'm confused that the keys spell her name." Also, he was the key in the sigil. Where did it all tie together? "I'm sure that girl who drew the original draft for the sigil didn't do this on purpose either."
Shiloh sighed. "I dunno what it means either. I guess I gotta look into it more." Now he was furiously locked in a chin-in-hand pose, thinking deeply again. "I've been investigating the changes in the new world 'cause it seems like it's ******** up a lot of stuff. Like, aside from the obvious." He looked around Equinox's new decor, "But the Court's all mangled too. That's where I started actually."
