He’s just been browsing. Getting absorbed in the book titles, as he eases his broad shoulders through the narrow spaces between shelves. Should probably feel tense, feel trapped in close quarters like these. But it’s a bookshop. He likes books. He’s working hard to not be stressed. Is succeeding. For now.
Though he does give a little start --- little low sound of surprise, in his throat --- when he tries to turn a corner and encounters a person. Jerks to halt, retreats. Stops just short of bumping into one of the bookcases, but he feels the edge of a shelf press gently into his back.
“Sorry. Didn’t hear you.” Chalk that up to his distraction with the books, probably.
