The journey back to the shop was long and uneventful. Although Neala was almost sure no one was actually following her, and it was all just in her head, she still fell back on her years of training, and took a route back to the book shop that would lose any potential pursuers. She entered several shops that she knew had more than one exit, switching streets and alleys as she left each one, entering via one door, and quickly exiting through another. Staying within crowds wherever possible, and making it almost impossible to follow her path back to the book shop. When she finally arrived at the street where the book shop was located, she quickly checked that no one would see her entering the shop, before opening the door and slipping inside, she then swiftly closed the door behind herself.

The shop area was empty, so she called out to the back of the shop to inform them it was only her entering, and so there was no need to come through to serve any potential customers. She thought she heard a reply, and continued downstairs to meet up with Lusam again.

Entering the book room she almost walked straight into a large pile of books floating through the air towards where Lusam was standing.

“I've got us some breakfast,” Neala said, holding out a sweet pastry wrapped in brown paper and an apple.

“Mm-mm … thanks, I'm starving. I don't know why, but doing magic always makes me feel ravenous,” he said. Lusam took the two items from Neala, opened the packet containing the sweet pastry and completely wolfed it down, even before Neala had opened hers. “I think I'd better start buying you more food if you're going to eat it that fast,” Neala said laughing at Lusam's face, which now had sticky fruit sauce all around his mouth.

“Sorry,” he replied, trying to clean around his mouth with his tongue. “Did you manage to find what you were looking for?”

“Yes, kind of. I got a set of throwing knives, but I'll have to balance them myself. It's a long story,” she replied, before filling him in on all the details. Lusam looked quite worried when she recounted the part of the story where she had fought the blacksmith, but he didn't comment on it.

“Sounds like you had some fun this morning,” Lusam said, still trying to get every last bit of the apple from its core.

“Yeah, nothing like an early morning workout,” she replied laughing. Neala decided not to tell him about the strange feelings of being followed, in case he thought she was just being paranoid. “How's it going with the books? Seems you have a large stack to sort through at the moment,” Neala said, trying to change the subject.

“It's going much faster now that I can move large numbers of books with my magic. I guess we don't need that wheelbarrow anymore,” he replied. “It should be a lot easier on our backs from now on too.
