Libraries are peaceful and beautiful places. And, despite what Issun’s influence might suggest to the contrary, Amaterasu does know how to behave in them; there is the simple matter that she is not particularly scholarly herself, as perhaps indicated by the goddess’s inclination to manifest in a form that lacks specialized page-turning appendages.

But she would like to have some information, if that is at all possible, and that means seeking out one of Xalphina’s patrons who is a bit better equipped in that subject. Approaching someone who looks like they might be kindly interrupted, Amaterasu uses what her given form is particularly well-equipped at:

Big soulful puppy eyes and a hopeful whine, ever-so-gently pushing her nose over the edge of Dortin’s book to place herself in his line of sight. 

Can you say no to that face...?

Well, he had made it to the university with minimal problems, which Shulk assumed meant he was adjusting to life in the city at least a little. The only problem was, now that he was here, he had no idea where to find what he was looking for.

The people were hurrying to and fro, each with books or notes under their arms. He would certainly feel bad interrupting them from what was obviously important business, but he didn’t know where to go from this point and no one was paying any attention to him.

He made a snap decision and stepped into the path of someone much shorter than him. They almost had the appearance of a child, but Shulk knew from experience that size an appearance had little to do with how old someone actually was. After all, one of the people dearest to him was only two-feet tall but already forty-years old with eleven kids.

“Could I take a moment of your time, please?” He scratched his head awkwardly, wondering how to explain what he was looking for.

“I’m looking for a library that’s supposed to be around here? Not like a small private collection, but an entire building filled with books. They don’t have anything like that where I’m from and I would be very interested to see if these rumors are true.”

Shut wasn’t opposed to visiting the mall sometimes; especially considering how big the Golden Ward’s was. Walking through the aisles of a particular shop, he couldn’t help but notice someone else examining the shelves. Looking over, and a bit up, Shut spoke.

“Do you need a hand, nomi?”
