[Cepheus]
[Tucked away in a corner of the residential district nearest the Core, there's a teeny-tiny bookstore with many obscure books. You won't find popular novels here, unless they're an out-of-print edition that you read as a child and haven't seen in years, but plenty of first editions and ancient texts and other volumes that would have been lost to history otherwise. The organization here is impeccable, although the books shift constantly enough that it's generally wiser to talk to the store owner than go pawing about the shelves yourself.
Said owner usually sits behind the counter and doesn't talk much, even to his customers. He's somewhere in his thirties, always. There are also plenty of owls present at all times; fortunately, they've been trained not to make a mess in the stacks. Other than the changing inventory, the shop stays just the same as it always is, year after year. Owner included.]
