"Woah..."
Muffin walked slowly gazing at his surroundings.
"Pretty cool huh?"
Nadwe rested his arms behind his head.
"Oh!"
Muffin noticed a café then ran to it, there was a board that said: Crane light Café.

Muffin pressed his cheeks on the windowsill. The sweet aroma of pastries surrounded the area.

"Oh this place is sooo good! C'mon, I'll get you something, it's on me!"
Nadwe entered the Café, Muffin followed Nadwe.

The café was peaceful, there were little vines hanging from the ceiling, the walls had a nice white shine.
Muffin trotted to the displays.
"What would you like, Moxie?"
Nadwe asked Muffin with his fake name as he reached into his pockets.

"Awh gee I don't know."
Muffin started to read the labels on the display.
One label caught Muffin's eyes it said; berry jam sticks.
"These."
Muffin pointed at the jam sticks.
"Alright then!"
Nadwe took his hand out of his pockets grabbing 3 pieces of silver.

Nadwe and Muffin left the café, Muffin snacked on his jam sticks happily.
"These are so good!"
Muffin smiled with glee.
"I told ya they're the best!"
"Oh this can't be a dream right?"
Muffin sniffled a bit.
Nadwe nudged Muffin roughly.
"Ouch-! Don't be doing that with the royals-"
Muffin laughed.
"Yeah yeah I'm sorry your highness"
Nadwe bowed to Muffin.
"Oh stop it"
Muffin stopped in his tracks.

"Woah what's that!?"
Muffin ran to a store with purple curtains with stars scattered on the windowsill.
"Wait up!"
Nadwe ran after Muffin while avoiding the horses and carriages.
"Sorry! Excuse me! Sorry! Sorry!"
Nadwe moved through the rocky road.
"Hey, watch it!"
A man yelped.
"Sorry!"
Nadwe caught up with Muffin.
"A bookstore!"
Muffin exclaimed seeing a blue and purple book on the display.
"Blegh books? Really?"
Nadwe stuck out his tongue.
"Oh come on, books aren't that bad."
Muffin then entered the store.
"Ughhh fineeeee!"
Nadwe groaned following Muffin.
The store was covered in cobwebs, the floor was covered with uneven purple carpets, the store was also rather dark with only a few lanterns as its light source. Books clattered everywhere on the ground along with random pieces of paper.

"Woah look at this crystal ball."
Nadwe poked at a crystal ball, Nadwe glared at it seeing fallen stars floating in the ocean.
"Bleh-"
Nadwe jumped back a bit seeing the images.
"Don't touch that Nadwe if you break it, we buy it, it looks expensive too."
Muffin warned Nadwe.

"You're expensive."
Nadwe shrugged.

"What, how?"
Muffin raised one of his eyebrows at Nadwe.

"I mean sneaking a prince out of the castle, phew I might as well get a bounty."
Nadwe pointed out.

"Ah so a royal can't walk around down or anything?"
Muffin laughed as he walked up to a counter.

"Ah hello there!"
A man with black hair wearing a purple beret smiled.

"Oh are you the librarian here?"
Muffin asked.

"Yep you betcha kid."
The man waved his hand, but, wait... Crab hands?!

"Eek!"
Muffin jumped back.

"Oh sorry, don't worry, these don't bite."
The man clicked their crab hands together.

"Uhm sir-"

"Please, call me Tbh kid"
Tbh smiled.

"Uhm- Tbh what's with the-"
Muffin pointed at his crab hands.

"Oh yeah, these are as real as they can be."
Tbh slouched down onto the counter.

"How are they real? Were you born with them?"
Muffin clinged onto Tbh's arms to inspect the hands.

"Look kid, I'll summarize what happened to my hands. I used to be a funny librarian and I wore a frog costume. A sorcerer came with his cow with an odd name, he zapped me with his magic. Now I permanently have crab hands."
Tbh moved his arm pointing it at himself while he explained, he then shook his arm so Muffin could let go.

"Oh- I'm so sorry about your er hands."
Muffin scratched his head.

"Nah it's fine it's easier to cut paper now, but anywho what would you like?"
Tbh stretched.

"Uhm do you have any books about creatures?"
Muffin asked.

Nadwe's eyes glimmered with excitement.
"Oh sure do! Let me just search."
Tbh shuffled behind the counter and started to rummage through the many books on the floor.

"I didn't know you were into creatures."
Nadwe exclaimed gleefully.

"Well of course who wouldn't? I've seen plenty of stories and tapserys of those things, but I wish to see them one day."
Muffin smiled.

"Well, aren't they dangerous?"
Nadwe asked in slight confusion.

"That's why I got the book. Maybe I'll approach one and soothe it."

"Ah-ha! Here ya go kid."
Tbh dropped a massive book as Muffin caught it and stumbled to the ground.
Muffin held up the book closer to him as his eyes glistened in awe.

"Alright now scram!"
Tbh laughed.

"We sure will do!"
Muffin and Nadwe were about to head out before a huge rumble appeared out of nowhere.

"G-G-GRIFFON!"
one of the commoners screamed.
