The Magic Box, Wednesday

All things considered, as much as Elsa would like to, she knew she couldn't just lock herself in her dorm room and never come out again. For one thing, there were classes, and she had a roommate, and Canute needed space to run and play. She suspected that getting her out more had been a bit of an ulterior motive for Eleanor and Joker to get her a ( Read more... )

Anders didn't often visit the shop on days when he wasn't on the schedule, but he had some spare time and a bit of restless energy that took him there today.

"Hi," he said, as he wandered in and unbuttoned his coat. "What are you reading?"

"Oh, hello!"

Elsa gave Anders a smile as she held up her book for his perusal.

"It's about ghosts," she explained, "and the magic that they're associated with. I don't know how much of this actually pertains to Sir Hrothbert given how drastically things can vary between realities, but I thought it probably couldn't hurt to learn as much as I can if I'm going to be his assistant this semester."

"I'm fairly certain all he really wanted an assistant for is a pair of tangible hands," Elsa offered. If Anders wanted to presume she couldn't do magic, she certainly wasn't about to correct him. "Though I'm still an odd choice for that."

Given her aversion to touching anything important. She was getting better at that, at least.

"And I haven't found much, really. I'm still in the process of trying to find a description of a ghost that's anything like he is. I mean... he looks as though he should be as solid as you or I. This book keeps talking about rags and chains."

It was possibly not a good book for this.
