Well, I didn't mentioned it before. But, I have a job. I've been made Assistant Manager of a rare book shop. Apparently owning one counted as enough experience.

Although, apparently they actually want to sell their books. Instead of only reluctantly. It's quite off-putting.

Why didn't you just miracle your own bookshop?

It just wouldn't be the same, dear boy. And, there a whole lot of logistics to think about, such as where to put it. It's easier to locate it where there is already a shop. And then I'd have to rebuild my collection. Which I can't miracle up, it's just not the same. They wouldn't be...authentic.

Oh.

What kind of stuff was in your collection?

I had a copy of almost every single book of prophecies ever written. It was a hobby of mine. And, also an awful lot of first editions, some of them even signed. I'd list them, but it is an extrememly long list.

Sounds like a museum. Maybe you could visit the Met?

Possibly a little bit. But they were mine, which made quite the difference.

Yeah, I get that. I wouldn't want to just trade out my shield or anything.

Honestly, I was always quite sad to see them go, if someone bought one.

Sounds like you should be a librarian, and not a seller of books.

Dear God no! People would return the books with the covers all bent and crease the pages, or heaven forbid, write on the bloody pages!

But again, thpse wouldn't be mine. And other people would interfere. I was actually quite good at not selling any books I didn't want to.

Oh, they have a quite a lot of bookshops. Some of them even have that old book smell in them. Those are the best ones.

I know that smell very well. I'll have to drop by one, see if they'd like a fabulous clerk.

If there's any types of books you'd like me to try and put aside for you, please do let me know.

Oh you'll hate that.

Which is only a little funny. I'll have to visit. For a drink or two.

You know, I don't think they allow the staff to drink on the premises.

Although we really must celebrate. We should probably find somewhere to replace the Ritz.

The kid had a point. Why not just miracle your own. You're not likely to get any strongly worded letters from Gabriel.

...did he really say he was buying pornography? You told me but I can't imagine it. I mean, I can but you know.

Where? If anywhere can. I haven't actually been in New York in years

It's not the same. And, I'd know! Also, I actually need money, and you know I'd never sell any of my books. This way is better, for now. I might miracle myself a bookstore if we're here a while.

He did. It was very disconcerting. Whatever your imagining, was nowhere near as awkward as it was.

Well, obviously nowhere could completely replace the Ritz. But, if we're going to be here a while, we do need somewhere like it.

Not sure where though, we might have to just visit every restaurant in Goodland. Starting with this cute little sushi place I just saw.

I suppose you would. The no drinking thing though, that won't do, want me to do a little tempting?

What I'm imagining is pretty awkward if I'm honest. Hillarious, but awkward.

You and your sushi. Alright, we'll start there. If nothing else, saki exists.

An antique book store!? Oh I would love to visit. Books are all electronic back home but there's nothing like an actual book.

Ooh I know someone that would never leave that place if he was here.
