The owner of the Dust shop "From Dust Till Dawn" is hanging a sign declaring its re-opening. As he climbs down from his ladder, he stumbles and falls. Emerald appears next to him.
Emerald: Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here.
She helps him to his feet.
Emerald: Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?
Emerald produces a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeep looks it over.
Shopkeep: Hmm? Mm-hmm.
Emerald walks away from the shop owner as both wave goodbye and passes Mercury Black.
Mercury: I knew you were lost.
Emerald: Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up.
She produces a wallet with Lien and waves it in Mercury's face.
Mercury: That's not your money.
Emerald: But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence.
Mercury: Mmmm... no deal.
Emerald: Fine.
Emerald takes the Lien and tosses the wallet, turning to walk away.
Mercury: Whatever. You want me.
Mercury and Emerald began 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.
Emerald: That's every city.
Mercury: Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!
Emerald glares at him, groaning angrily. She then walks away from him.
Mercury: Ugh... you're no fun today.
Emerald: Like your always the life of the party robo legs.
Mercury follows behind Emerald. The scene shifts to Emerald and Mercury entering a shop full of books. The shop owner can be heard humming a tune. Mercury stops near the door to look at books while Emerald approaches the counter and rings a service bell.
Tukson: Be right there!
Emerald looks back at Mercury. The shop owner is seen through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walks backwards and out toward the counter.
Tukson: Welcome to "Tukson's Book Trade", home to every book under the sun!
He sets the stacks down offscreen.
Tukson: How may I...
Turning around, he gasps and hesitates upon recognizing the two of them. Mercury is now holding a book.
Tukson: How may I help you?
Mercury: Just browsing.
Emerald: Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of "The Thief and The Butcher"?
Tukson: Yes we do.
Emerald: That's great!
Tukson: Would you... like a copy?
