Elise nodded and made a sweeping gesture with her hand, indicating that they should leave the gondola station and continue down the sidewalk. She was careful to remember the advice she was given during Signal, too: stay on the right of the path. The first time she'd come down here, she wandered too close to the left and ended up getting swept away by the incoming crowd. That was not one of her finer moments, lying on the sidewalk in the aftermath, her teacher leaning over her and offering her wrists and neck a sharp jam with his thumb to check her pulse. Ouch.

Elise managed to steady her walking enough that she fell in stride with her partner for the most part despite the glaring size and structure differences. When they crossed the first street away from the gondola, she tilted her head slightly and tapped Glaukos on the forearm.

"I believe it is just a few blocks away from here. See," When the short girl was sure she had her partner's attention, she gestured across the street to a store with the windows seemingly blown out surrounded by caution tape. "That is From Dust Till Dawn." She paused for a moment on the street corner, peering through the darkened shop. The remaining dust that hadn't been stolen that night had been confiscated by the police, judging by the empty tubes and counter within the shop. A few officers were stationed around the perimeter, but it was otherwise an empty shell.

Eager to look away from the shop, and feeling oddly nostalgic about a place she'd only visited once, Elise and her partner continued down the crosswalk and away from the shop, at which point she turned back to Glaukos with a legitimate question.

"After we stop at the book trade, where do you want to eat?" Elise figured once they reached the shop she could activate the GPS within her scroll and see what was around. "I will admit I have only had dinner once down here, but there is no shortage of.....let us say variety, downtown. Buffets, bistros, barbecues.....there was also this clambake just around the corner, if memory serves."
