After she tracked down a noodle stand, Elise literally skipped the last few steps to the bookstore, before proclaiming that they were there, at Tukson's book trade. Elise reached the door before Glaukos could, opening it, causing a small bell to go off. Glaukos went in after Elise, trying to quietly shut the door, so the bell didn't go off a second time, before looking at the interior of the building.

The first thing that Glaukos noticed was the room was quiet dark, and not well lit. It looked to be one room, with tall bookcases lining either wall, and a number of short shelves making up the middle, with messily laid out books, a few stacks vertical. At the end of the room, opposite of the door, was a counter with a bell and a cash register. Scratch that, there is another door in the back, so there is another room, though I don't suppose customers are suppose to be in there. When he actually started to look at the books, he noticed that there was a flush of brightly coloured comics in the front of the store. Most disappointing of all, however, was the lack of chairs. Which meant he couldn't read AT the store. So much for saving some lien by reading at the store.

More then a little giddy, Glaukos walked into the store proper; after the first day of class and still recovering from initiation yesterday, he wanted nothing more then to find a good book and sit down and read. Although I might want to hold off reading until we're back in our room... He started to look around the shelves, walking through the aisles, more or less tuning out the world as he looked for a very specific series. Supposedly there had been a new release between graduation from Sanctum and now, but he hadn't had access to the best book store where he had been for the past few months.

There had only been a few other people in the store when they walked in, who ignored the two. Tilting his head as he started to read off haphazardly placed books, Glaukos finally found what he was looking for. Doing a fist bump, he quickly snatched the book off one of the higher shelves that lined the wall.

"I'm good now, ho-" Glaukos stopped mid-sentence when he realized that Elise wasn't next to him anymore. Turning around, Glaukos walked over to where Elise was;

"Sorry....I got a little excited" he said, looking down at his feet, "are you going to get anything?"
