My apologies for taking so long to reply to you; things have been extremely busy. However, if your offer to assist in cataloguing the bookshop's worth of materials I've come into still stands, I would be very pleased to have the assistance. Would you please show up at [address] in London to see the collection, and to discuss this further, on perhaps Monday? If that would suit, please let me know.

I wanted to inform you that I've found some shop premises; they're at [address] in London. A pleasant old building, and the Argosy collection has already arrived there. I may have found someone to help me properly catalogue them all, but I had promised you a viewing and a viewing you shall have. I extend the invitation to Miss Henriette and Master Henry on the possible belief that they are as curious (though hopefully not as light-fingered) as their mother, but it need not be accepted if old books are not an interest.

Would you be able to come to the bookshop's new address sometime when it suits your convenience? I've someone I'd like very much to introduce you to.

Between Princess and my acquaintanceship with Mr. Robert Singer, I've been made aware of what you do, or did. A pleasure for a kindred spirit, sir. I realise it may be rude, given our extremely recent meeting, to presume in this way, but I have a favor that your family might be able to assist me with. Is there a member of your family particularly skilled in the knowledge of devil's traps?

I need someone to verify that I've correctly laid a devil's trap at the door of this new shop. I have enemies of the demonic persuasion, or at least demons who like very much to toy with me. I have significant knowledge upon the subject, but I've recently been ill. A second opinion would be welcome, just to be certain.

... I feel compelled to say that as far as I know, their issues lie with me, and would not place Princess in harm's way, to the best of my knowledge.

	Yeah, I can do that, of course. You're sweet on her, huh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr. Winchester defectedfromgod 2010-06-19 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	I will have the trap laid likely by the end of this evening. And Princess did me a very great kindness; she earned my friendship with her kind and generous nature. She is extremely pleasant company. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dude, call me Dean. Mr. Winchester's my dad. I'll be over later tonight. Yup. Totally sweet on her. She's pretty, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dean defectedfromgod 2010-06-19 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Noted; I didn't want to presume before being advised. Have Princess tell you the address. I appreciate your professional expertise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariel doubleup 2010-06-19 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Not a problem, man. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ariel italianpuzzle 2010-06-19 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Of course! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Princess defectedfromgod 2010-06-19 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, good. [Address]. Whatever time is agreeable to you; most of mine will be spent on these premises. The catalogue is enormous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariel italianpuzzle 2010-06-19 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	Would you like help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Princess defectedfromgod 2010-06-19 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	I may have some assistance already, but if you wish another pair of hands would not go amiss. Please don't feel an obligation, though; most young ladies would not have much interest in a musty old bookshop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariel italianpuzzle 2010-06-19 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	You forget what I've done most of my life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Princess defectedfromgod 2010-06-19 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	You never told me what you did with the pirates and your other owners. Though now, when I look upon a work done by Da Vinci, I will forever wonder what part you played in it. Nonetheless, touche. Miss Folchart, the librarian, would likely welcome the assistance almost as much as I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, good! I'll be right over! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Guy henri_with_a_y 2010-06-20 02:16 am UTC (link)
	You're kidding, rite? NOBODY is as light-fingered as mum. Well, pops is okay, and Henny's pretty good. And nothing gets lifted except if it's been asked for and paid in advance. But I might come check it out, old books are cool. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Master Henry, I presume defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 02:21 am UTC (link)
	My name is Ariel, for one. And if it's paid in advance, you can lift all you please. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	henri_with_a_y 2010-06-20 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm Henry. Mum says she'll bring me when she's coming in, so I'll probably see you soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ariel not_that_henri 2010-06-20 02:18 am UTC (link)
	Old books you say? I'll be right over. I kind of got the knack for them from one of my godfathers, Bill Turner, and if you haven't met him yet you'll probably be meeting him soon, he's got old book radar. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Miss Henriette defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 02:22 am UTC (link)
	I've heard Princess speak of Bill Turner, but I've not met him yet, if ever. I've no objection to anyone coming to have a look, as long as they're not susceptible to a good devil's trap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_that_henri 2010-06-20 02:30 am UTC (link)
	I don't think he is, I'll have to double check, but he's not a demon, so, I don't figure he would be. In any case, you can expect a visit from me, and possibly my husband and/or fiance in the next week or two. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ariel prettylilbunny 2010-06-20 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Oh good, I'll round up the kiddo and come by. Should we make an appointment? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 02:23 am UTC (link)
	No need for one, Miss Petit; I'll likely be there at almost all times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prettylilbunny 2010-06-20 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Alright, then we'll swing by sometime in the next few days. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ariel uncle_bobby 2010-06-20 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Good, I'll hold off until you've got things at least a little organized, I know better than to interrupt that. Might be bringing one of my students along. ...I say as if I've got more than the one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Bobby defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 02:38 am UTC (link)
	That's perfectly fine. Tell me what you know about Dean Winchester. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariel uncle_bobby 2010-06-20 02:41 am UTC (link)
	You have a couple hours? Because that's the minimum amount of time it'd take me to tell you what I know about the boy. You need something specific? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bobby defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 03:16 am UTC (link)
	Not as such. I've nothing against the man, I simply want to know what his relation to Princess is. Ward? Family member? He was ... I believe he was teasing me about harboring some sort of tendre for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariel uncle_bobby 2010-06-20 03:21 am UTC (link)
	Oh! Uh, family. Sort of, not by blood. She used to be an enchanted box that adopted him, and there's no way not to make that sound weird, and she just recently became people. Haven't met the person-version yet myself, so, I'd guess sort of brother, in a way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bobby defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 03:27 am UTC (link)
	I knew the box part, don't worry. But I understand now; it makes sense that this Dean would be protective of her. I'll take the joking with a good nature, then; it's only natural he would wish to look out for her, even if she's nothing to fear from me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariel uncle_bobby 2010-06-20 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, in that case he's just ribbing you, don't worry about it none. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ariel silverquill 2010-06-20 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Monday would be lovely. Do you have any particular time in mind? I haven't got any other plans, so if you need me, I can be there first thing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Miss Folchart defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 02:36 am UTC (link)
	That sounds perfectly fine. I'm glad you're still at liberty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariel silverquill 2010-06-20 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Wonderful. Coffee or tea? And do you have a computer or should I bring my own? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miss Folchart defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 03:17 am UTC (link)
	I prefer tea, personally. And I own a computer, but it's at my home, so if you require one in the shop, best bring your own. I am not at all used to these machines yet; I'm afraid I may try your patience should I attempt to use one for the shop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariel silverquill 2010-06-20 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Tea it is. And don't worry about it! I can make you a paper copy of any lists and charts as well, I actually prefer them, but it's easier to track everything on computer, at least at first. Monday morning, I'll be there with bells on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miss Folchart defectedfromgod 2010-06-20 03:33 am UTC (link)
	A brilliantly practical decision, I assure you. You'd spend your time attempting to teach me how to read the computer screen. Paper suits me infinitely more. Until then. (Reply to this) (Parent)
