Pia frowned slightly. “Freya, the Norse goddess? My aunt. Never saw biting books before though.”
…Your aunt is a Norse goddess but biting books freak you out. Okay. That’s…sure, okay.
Never said it freaked me out, just confused me. I thought I’d seen it all.
Rrrrrriiiiiiiiight.
“Uh.. Okay..?” Is all Pia could say.
Non-magic, huh? Yep, thought so. [She lets out a dramatic sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose before letting go and taking a deep breath.] Magic is real, some books are enchanted to bite, I’m a witch, this is a store for magic folk and non-magic folk alike aaaaaaaaaaand it’s bigger than it looks. There.

“So a book with a bite is something extra then?” Pia asked uncertainly.
Usually. [Giving the shelf another dust, she nods to herself in satisfaction and starts climbing down slowly but still jumps the last two steps, smoothing her skirt down with a small smile when she’s caught her balance.] It’s not his fault, it’s his writer; he was the worst kind of politeness enthusiast and thought only folk who could speak kind enough should be allowed to read his grimoires. So you have to calm the old guy down before you give him a read.

[She glances up from her book at the jingling of the bell, reading glasses perched on the end of her nose and half grins as she closes the over-sized leather bound grimoire] Hey, hi there! Welcome, what can I do you for?
“Just looking about.” Clint stated the obvious fact. He had encountered different worlds and knew it was polite to have them ask the questions first. “I’m Clint.” He offered up with a smile.
Well, just let me know whenever you need anything, I’ll be right here. [She’s just starting to look back down at the book when she hears his name and looks up again, ever friendly and eager to please.] Absolute delight to meet you, Clint. I’m April, April Rigby. How’s you this fine day?
“I’m sorry, the book has a nasty bite? Uh..” She looked around a bit more. “What kind of shop is this exactly?”
Hm…? [While she’s not quite paying attention and has most of her thoughts focused on getting rid of the dust, she does pick up at least some of that.] Apothecary, it’s an apothecary. Well, an apothecary with a bit of this and a bit of that. [She sniffs in thought, immediately regretting it after when she gets a nose full of dust and sneezes, quickly rubbing at her nose with the back of her hand.] Agh, jeez. Aaaanyway, just an apothecary with a few extras, that’s all.

RUDE. You…you…slag!
You were about to call me a jerk then run away and cry, weren’t you?
“Don’t worry, just take your time.” Pia smiled politely, looking around. “Say, uh, what exactly have you got here?”
Just this and that. [She shrugs, turning around and carefully leaning closer to get a hard to reach corner of the shelf.] Nothing dangerous. Just stay away from the book with a silver lock on it, it has a nasty bite.

[Glancing over her shoulder, April smiles and waves without saying a word when she hears the bell to announce a new customer jingle but that’s promptly cut short by the worryingly rickety ladder she’s on giving a groan of protest and swaying from side to side before abruptly stopping.] Oh shi—…! Heh…sorry, I’ll, uh, I’ll be with you as soon as I’m done dusting. Just have a look around or something, I don’t mind.
