Bookshop.
It's week two, and there is a steady rhythm to the people that come and go from the bookshop where Inara has found herself so recently. Sometimes Ivy has her behind the register. That isn't the part that entertains her though.
Watching people. Seeing what books they go for, what stationary supplies they need, what quills and inkpots and everything else they might be looking for appeals to them before they even realize what it is they want. That is why, among other things, Inara can be a very convincing salesperson.
While Ivy is in the stockroom behind the counter wrangling their copies of The Book of Flying Creatures from taking off out the window, Inara is balancing the ledger from the morning in an otherwise empty storefront.

"What brought you back?"

"I thought I'd take a walkabout profession wise for a little while. It helps that Sokka and Leah both teach at the school. Give me a reason to put roots down for a few months."

But why now? What was the trigger?
But no matter.
"Hogsmeade has always been a welcoming place in my experience. I'm happy to be here." Are you?

"It helps sometimes that the city, well, at least most of it, is made pretty much so it's generically open for the feeding into and out of the schools needs."

For so many different reasons.
