*Aziraphale sits in his bookshop, waiting for the second time in the past few days for someone. This time, it is a different person.*

*Yvaine slips into the shop, taking a moment for her eyes to adjust before looking around, muttering about how she can't understand how people breathe that stuff that passes for air.* Aziraphale, are you here? I hope I've not wandered into the wrong place...

[angelical_azi]

*A voice calls out from the back room.* Yes, dear. I'm in the back. Sorry it's a bit dark, it frightens the customers away.

*He pops out from the back room and waves.* Hello.

[stardusted_lady]

Ah. Hello. Why would you want to frighten away the customers?

*She waves to him, then starts studying the bookshelves, marveling at all the books of which she has never before heard.*

[angelical_azi]

Oh, so they don't buy books. These are very rare and special to me. My old collection as well as Adam's contributions. Most people think I'm going to be a regular book shop like Waterstones. It's sort of keeping away the uneducated masses. Most rare booksellers do so. It's almost a trick of the trade.

[stardusted_lady]

...So you own a book shop, but you don't want to sell any of the books?

[angelical_azi]

That about sums it up, yes.

[stardusted_lady]

Then why own a shop in the first place?

[angelical_azi]

It's a nice place to store them. Would you like me to put the kettle on?

[stardusted_lady]

Oh. I suppose it is, at that. That would be lovely.

[angelical_azi]

*Gets up to put the kettle on*

Do you have any tea preference? I've got quite a few here...or there's coffee...

[stardusted_lady]

Oh, whatever you like is fine. Do you mind if I sit?

[angelical_azi]

No, no, go ahead. Do you take sugar or milk?

[stardusted_lady]

Sugar, please. *sits somewhere, watching him make tea*

[angelical_azi]

*brings over the two mugs* Here we go.

((OOC: Sorry about the big gap. Had to go get dinner.))

[stardusted_lady]

Thank you. *takes the mug and wraps her hands around it* So, what sorts of books do you specialize in?

((Quite understood. Foodifying is important.))

[angelical_azi]

I have around sixty books on prophecies that span the last few centuries and a collection of unique Bible's. That, and Adam has contributed with a collection of comics and books that suit boys his age.

*opens a biscuit tin* Help yourself, if you'd like something to nibble on.
