[So Virgil is in Filis's room. It looks fairly neat and orderly.] * Virgil starts peeking around carefully, not disturinb too much but trying to get an inkling as to where she went. Paper scraps, notes... And perhaps something to scry her with if it comes to that. [She did happen to leave a small pack behind.] * Virgil hmmms, and takes a look at it. [Virgil starts digging through Filis's stuff. Uh... which has a couple of changes of clothes. >.> There's also a small ornate silver mirror and a comb to keep her proper.] Well, she plans to return if she left of her own free will. * Virgil puts it back as well as he can, espically before he gets a nosebleed. [Soul roll! Kidding. Virgil manages to put it back before feeling up her, uh, unmentionables.] * Virgil closes everything up, taking something she won't miss (like some hair) for use later in a scrying attempt. [Virgil gets some hair from the comb and collects it. He doesn't have a fetish, really!] (So, nothing that points to where she would have gone?) (Not directly, no.) (Damn. Oh well, I can't think of anything I could gather from what you've told me.) * Virgil exits the room, stage right! * Virgil starts looking around for Filis. o.o (Where you going?) (I'm not sure. Let's see, what do girls like to shop for...) (Hee) (Books? Wait, that's what I like to shop for. Food? That's more sailor stuff. She's not a sailor...) (Clothes? Maybe. But she already had some. Maybe shoes or something accessory-like? She couldn't have gone for supplies, she's not experienced with sailing.) (Ah hell, I'm checking the book store. XD) [Virgil heads out to find Filis... err... in the bookstore. Gee, I wonder where his priorities lie?] (Shush you, I'm just taking a little detour.) (I mean, I'm sure I'll find her on the way there, right?) (Riiight.) * Virgil looks in the bookstore! For new books. And Filis. <.< >.> [Virgil comes to the bookstore! They have lots of how-to books, history books, novels and plays. There are some atlases on the top shelf. But generally it's a small shop.] [Filis seems not to be in sight.] * Virgil almost half-pouts and starts rethinking his thought process... after picking up a few books. A novel and a pair of how-to books regarding sailing that look legit. ( Filis? Not like... books? Does not... compute.) [What kind of novel?] (What's there?) (Looking for some good interesting reading for the travels.) [Take your pick of genre. And culture. They have everything except Vithril and Chu-lin writing available.] (Adventure, Maltan.) [Virgil finds a good one about 5 adventurers who got stuck together after a major port town in Malta got bombarded by a mysterious enemy!] [Kidding. But he does find a good swashbuckler adventure.] (Aww, I wanted that last one!) (Then I could say 'But it works in the book!') (...ha!) * Virgil pickes that one up, then. What's the total come to? [The adventure book isn't too expensive. 20 drachs. It's the how-to at 50 that's the expensive one. But it shows a lot of different types of knots to use and footwork and the like. Really good reference.] (You sure that pricing's right? I mean, a minor item was exchanged for 50 drachs, and I have multiple books as a minor item. Or is that intentional?) (How busy does it look?) (Busy?) (The book shop, yes.) [The book store isn't very busy.]* Virgil steps up to the counter with the two books, and looks around for any indication that he doesn't want to haggle. Such as a big 'NO HAGGLING' or 'ALL PRICES FINAL' sign. [There's no such sign. The clerk looks up for a second. "Yes?"] Yes, I'd like to purchase these books.
