It's been month since Stahl arrived at this place, but he still wasn't familiar with the city's layout. Of course, there was the ever-changing sector that challenged it's habitants every day, but the others ones were just as confusing. He saw it as an opportunity to discover new places - just like this run-down, yet charming looking bookstore. It's best days were over, the banners stuck to it's windows so old Stahl couldn't read them properly. The letters were yellowed, only a few words visible, but not making any sense.
Apparently, business was still going well seeing how the shop was open, a few muffled voices making their way outside. Perhaps it's outer appearance drew more customers in? Stahl could only guess. Taking a peek inside, he was greeted by the smell of old books, a smell he loved and had missed. The store wasn't as shady as the outside made it look - several shelves neatly placed next to each other, stairs right next to the entrance leading to another floor.
Stahl let his gaze wander, spotting a tiny figure that struggled to reach the top of a shelf. With quick steps the cavalier approached, fetched the desired item in the woman's stead. "Is this the one you wish to get?", the man asked, taking a quick look at it's cover. "Oh, I actually know this one, it is a brilliant read!"
