He leaves Joyride’s and on the way a store catches his eye. The store front is mostly glass, revealing a room full of bookshelves, neatly and efficiently stuck in to accommodate as many as possible except for the spots near the windows where several plush, comfy chairs are facing the windows and a small table where an elder mare sits. She seems to be sorting some books, and as she looks up she sees Emerald and gives a wave.
Emerald enters the store, and she says, “Welcome deary, can I help you find anything?”
Emerald asks if she has books on focuses, in particular making them.
“I do indeed my dear. I have some of the college’s old textbooks. Learning magic are we? That will be a very useful thing for Ponycare, yes it will.”
Emerald asks what she means and she says, “Oh, aren’t you part of Ponycare? You are wearing one of their robes.”
Shoot, he forgot to change into his other clothes. Ah well, it’s not like he had the key for the studio anyway.
“I’m afraid this is quite a rare book.” The elderly pony says, coming down from a stepstool, “A primer on focus creation used by the college. It’ll be pretty expensive though, I’m afraid I can’t let it go for less than 50 bits.”
Emerald nods, and thinking on it asks if she has any blank books he can use as spellbooks.
“Ah yes, I have some on display right here.” She says, walking back behind her small table, “I’ll tell you what, if you buy the book on focuses I’ll throw in one of these spell books for 15 bits. Does that sound good?”
