"He told us to look around and that he was going to check his files but they can be inaccurate." He said looking at Lupus. Validus walked into the shop and commensed looking around. He turned to Lupus and asked, "Do you know what the book may look like?" He wanted to know what he was looking for.

Lupus thought for a moment. "I've heard that it is a small volume, bound in dark green with silver lettering on the cover. It is not thick nor large. The only words on the cover are 'By the Duchesne Family'."
She bent down over a pile of objects and rooted through them hopefully but none of them were books. She moved on to a shelf and ran a hand over the spines of the books, pulling out the ones without titles. She rumagged through them, flipping through the first few pages.

"Alright." He said as he searched through the selves near him. He took out all the books bound in dark green, which were an astounding four books. He checked to see if they had titles on them. Three of them didn't but the fourth one had no writing on it. He flipped the pages, there was no writing in it. "Well, that's not what I'm looking for." He muttered moving over to another set of shelves, he was waiting for the shop keeper to finally stop them from searching his store.

Lupus walked over to another shelf, being unsuccessful with the first one. She ran a finger over the books. None of these fit the description. She strolled past the shelves taking down all the books from the shelves that were possible suspects. The store smelled nice and she settled down in a chair beside the counter. "Hm..." she murmured, opening different books.
"Aa' menle nauva calen ar' ta hwesta e' ale'quenle..." spoke a voice in her ear. ((I found several that might be what you're looking for...)) Lupus jumped, a low growl already forming in her throat. She choked it down. The man held several volumes in his hand and he gesutred for her to take them.

Validus walked over to Lupus, "Want me to help you go through these books?" He asked. He had heard the shop keeper tell her that he had several books. He turned to the shop keep and said in a soft tone, "Sal ile. Ais shi thol si shyl, cyrn tes shor air tyr?" (translation: Thank you. If we find the book how much will it cost?"

Lupus smiled. "Yeah, thanks."
The shopkeeper set the books on the table, glancing at Validus. "Tenna' tul're?" ((How much do you have?)) he asked. He turned to Validus, sizing him up. "Quel esta mil fara." ((I don't accept less than two rubies.))

"Ai pyl's cyrn cyrn tes Ai cali shor ti vol byrn." (trans: I don't know how much I have with me right now.) He said taking out a pouch from his pocket. "Sai verdor?"(trans: Two Rubies?) He said. He looked at Lupus, "He said that if we found it, it would cost two rubies." He said as he picked up a few books to look through them. The two he had didn't fit her description.

Lupus frowned and took out the money that she had stolen. Along with some spare change from other ventures. Perfect. She had just enough for the book and some left over for food. She picked her way through the books methodically. And then, her hand brushed over a book with a tattered green cover. And silver markings on the bindings. Her pulse quickened.
"I think I've found it..." she said and she pulled it out. Spindly silver writing spelled out By The Duchesne Family. She gave a triumphant cry. "This is it~" she said and laughed. She opened the book, rifling through the pages excitedly. Words popped out at her. Werewolf for one. She snapped it shut to read carefully at another time.
"Quel?" ((payment?)) the storekeeper grunted, holding out one hand. He could tell from her tone that she had found what she was searching for. She stuffed the money into his outstreched hand, the wolflike grin back on her face.

"I'm glad you found what you were looking for. Took awhile, but we made a lucky guess with this shop." He said with a laugh.
Before heading towards the doo he turned to the shop keeper once and thanked him for his help once again. Validus had seen a shop with armour not too far away from the shop, they had passed it coming to this shop. "I think I'm going to go get my bracer now, it was nice to meet you Lupus." He said waving to her as he turned out the door.

Lupus laughed and caught up with Validus, matching his stride. She slipped the book into her pocket. "Thank you... I'll give you this...as a token of my gratitude." She handed him the rest of her money. "Buy yourself some lunch~" she said with a laugh and pushed it into his hand. "...since I seemed to have taken up your lunch breaktime..." She winked wolfishly and stole away into the bustle of people, blending in with the crowd.
