[Neal both lives and works in this bookstore. He also can't leave it. Condition of his loss parole. Regardless, he really knows all there is to know about these old musty books, and is willing to assist you in any way possible.

Also, he would really like to know where his People have wandered off to, but from what he can tell on the journal -- that could be more complicated than he'd like. So for right now, he just keeps an ear out for familiar voices, and does his job.

It's easier than trying to convince them all they've been conned.]

We definitely have some Asimov.

[peacockherald]

Excellent. His novels are harder to find than I thought they would be.

[alias_savant]

It's a shame. He's definitely one of the classics.

[peacockherald]

Oh definitely. I know some of them have gotten reprinted in recent years, but the good, real classics of his are still difficult to get a hand on.

[alias_savant]

Well, knock yourself out.

[peacockherald]

Eh, don't encourage me. I won't have room in my luggage and poor Yfandes will have to ride when them all the way home.

[alias_savant]

Yfandes?

[peacockherald]

Ah, my mare. We came straight from a show, but I can't say she seems to dislike being spoiled out here.

[alias_savant]

I'm sure she doesn't. It's probably not often that she has so much room to run.

[peacockherald]

I keep stables, actually. I own several hundred acres, and she gets prime pasture.

[alias_savant]

Oh. Then she probably wasn't happy with the drive here?

[peacockherald]

She is used to it. We do a professional circuit. I think she naps most of the time, and she's an old pro by now.

_{[He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck, as if embarrassed to be talking so candidly about it.]}

[alias_savant]

I see. That must be very rewarding.

[peacockherald]

I enjoy it, so I tend to think so. My family doesn't see it, but then, there's always one child like me in every family, right?

[alias_savant]

I think that your enjoyment is the one that matters at the end of the day.
