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.

"Nah, that's brilliant, cheers," Leah says happily, handing over the money at the same time. "We should hang out, though. Properly catch up and stuff."

"I'd like that, quite a bit. Three Broomsticks, or...?"

"That works for me," Leah says. "I'm there most weekends. Weeknight evenings if I can make it. Most likely Mondays."

No classes Monday afternoon, see.

"I'll see you this weekend, then," Inara smiles.

"Let me know how those grips work out."

"I will," Leah says brightly, tucking them into her pockets as she turns to go. "See ya then."
