A ship flew through the skies over Vale and the camera panned down to the city streets. The owner of the Dust shop "From Dust Till Dawn" was hanging a sign declaring its re-opening. As he climbed down from his ladder, he stumbled and fell. Emerald appeared next to him.
Emerald: *giggles* 'Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here. *helps him to his feet.* Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?
Emerald produced a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeep looks it over.
Shopkeep: Hmm? Mm-hmm.
Emerald walked away from the shop owner as both waved goodbye and passed Mercury Black at a corner.
Mercury: I knew you were lost.
Emerald: Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up.
She produced a wallet with Lien and waved it in Mercury's face.
Mercury: That's not your money.
Emerald: But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence.
Mercury: *declines* Mmmm... no deal.
Emerald: *grumbles* Fine.
Emerald took the Lien and tossed the wallet, turning to walk away.
Mercury: Whatever. You want me.
Mercury and Emerald were walking through the city.
Mercury: So, how much farther?
Emerald: A few blocks.
Mercury: Ugh... this place is so dull.
Emerald: Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture...
Mercury: And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket.
Emerald: *stops* That's every city.
Mercury: *play acts as a victim.* Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!
Emerald glared at him, groaning angrily. She then walked away from him.
Mercury: *grumbles* Ugh... you're no fun today.
Mercury followed behind Emerald. Soon, they entered a shop full of books. Mercury stopped near the door to look at books while Emerald approached the counter and ringged a service bell.
Tukson: Be right there! Or is that you, kid?
Emerald looked back at Mercury. The shop owner was seen through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walked backwards and out toward the counter.
Tukson: Welcome to "Tukson's Book Trade", home to every book under the sun! *sets the stacks down* How may I...
When he turned around, he gasped and hesitated upon recognizing the two of them. Mercury was now holding a book.
Tukson: How may I help you?
Although the book was open, Mercury was looking at Tukson.
Mercury: Just browsing. *shuts the book.*
Emerald: Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of "The Thief and The Butcher"?
Tukson: Yes we do.
Emerald: *excited* That's great.
Tukson: Would you... like a copy?
Emerald: No, just wondering. *Mercury closes another book* Oh, oh! What about "Violet's Garden"? In paperback?
