A refugee owned store was one Wolf was sure he could trust. He walked into the book store with a serious expression on his face. He needed to find some books he couldn't take outside the library without being noticed. Maybe this man had some books on the subject he was looking into.

"Excuse me? Got any books on engineering?"

[manicuredangel]

[Oh dear. A customer... He knew that look in the, er... Bipedal canid(?)'s eyes. He wanted to buy the angel's precious books--- Wait... It was a specific request and not one he could fill? Wonderful!]

Engineering? I'm afraid I do not.

[He smiles kindly and gestures mildly to the dusty old tomes in his shop. The scent of dust and mildew is in the air.]

There might be something interesting from the Victorian era, but somehow I don't think steam-powered technology is quite what you're looking for. I can keep my eyes open for you, if you like.

[starwolf_leader]

I see. [Wolf looked over at the tomes with a small frown.]

I might as well take a look anyway. How are they organized?

[manicuredangel]

Organized?

[They looked to be entirely a jumble. But fact was they were organized very specifically and in a way meant to frustrate most customers, not that he would admit that.]

By publisher and then date of publication.

[starwolf_leader]

I see...alright.

[Wolf made his way back into the jumble of books and began looking through them. What kind of book store was this?]

[manicuredangel]

[One that held the angel's very specific collection of books. Aziraphale watched a little nervously and sipped his cocoa.]

[starwolf_leader]

[Wolf rounded a corner and vanished from sight. He looked down and spotted a small blue glass bottle. He reached down and took it into his hand.]

What is this-FUCK! [The glass broke and spilled the liquid inside all over his hand. The glass cut into his fingers and he pulled back with a jump. He brought his hand up to his nose and sniffed. At least it wasn't a strong scent. It was light and flowery.]

[manicuredangel]

[He's not entirely unsympathetic to customers. He gets out from behind the counter toward where he went.]

Is everything alright?

[starwolf_leader]

Yeah. I'm fine. Just found some bottle. I picked it up and it broke. Sorry about the mess.

[manicuredangel]

Oh... Oh dear. Here, let me get the hand broom...

[He leaves and returns a minute later with a dustpan and hand broom. He starts sweeping up the mess.]

[starwolf_leader]

[Wolf steps out of the way and takes his shirt off. He uses it to cover his hand so he doesn't bleed everywhere.]

Guess I'll have to come back and look another time. I need to get this bandaged. You will keep an eye out for engineering books for me, right?

[manicuredangel]

Ah... Wait... Let me see your hands.

[starwolf_leader]

Sure. [Wolf removed his injured hand from his shirt and showed it to Aziraphale. His fingers had several deep cuts in them and one shallow one in his palm.]

[manicuredangel]

[The angel performed a small miracle and healed the injuries.

There. That should be better.

[starwolf_leader]

[That got Wolf's eyes to widen.]

How did you do that?

[manicuredangel]

I... Well... I'm an angel.
