[It's disgustingly hot and humid and even with most of her hair pulled up and twisted back away from her face, she's got curly tendrils hanging down and a light sheen on her forehead. Ugh. But at least she's back to finding things to keep herself busy.]

My chair is open at Ursula's again, if anyone is looking for regular tattoos or some runework. Want anything more intricate let's talk and we'll see what I need and what deal works for you.

[Best way to act like nothing is wrong is to go right back to what she was doing before, right? Right.]

Catching up on the insane shit y'all love to get up to, but what little changes, a lot stays the same, doesn't it? Like how I still don't know who most of you asses are. Keeping track of the coming and goings ain't easy. Anyone keeping a list?

[Like how Roan and Gina and Romero reacted when she came back from the Mystlands. She had known her Guild would miss her but she'd still wondered, when the year mark had come around, if maybe everyone would have thought her dead and moved on. How easier it would be, how little would change in their lives. She hadn't really thought anyone would miss her here, either.

She'd been wrong then. Guess she's wrong now, too.]

Aw. [She can't help reaching out again to ruffle Luz's hair with rough affection. Maybe her eyes would be misty if she wasn't so great at forgetting how to cry. No reason to get that sappy.]

Being my extra hand today is pay enough. Sometimes it's...easier to not have to wear the Steel Fist all the time.

[Maybe better, but she doesn't want to say "better" because it's not the right word either. Her skin doesn't itch as much when she gives it more breathing time instead of being attached for days on end.]

[Luz had definitely realized when Saeri was gone and missed her. They'd met by chance, but Luz had loved Saeri's spirit and her smarts, she reminded her of a slightly older Dipper, a friend she hadn't seen in a bit. She was glad to find Saeri hadn't gone like so many others she'd come to cherish].

[Luz couldn't help but laugh a little at the ruffling. It was something that Eda would have done, and she genuinely missed that].

I'm just glad you're back! I'd gladly help you out more if I didn't have a new job myself. Would you mind giving it a visit when you have the chance?

[inkedspell]

Really? You're asking me if I would mind going to visit a bookstore?

[Saeri can't help but laugh out loud.]

I'll be there to go through every book in the place.

[imaglyphwitch]

I have to act like I wouldn't think it's the greatest thing in the world! I'm very biased!

[This was just about how Luz reacted when Lexi first mentioned the place to her. Now Luz was having hand in helping to make it become a reality]!

Great! You can tell us what you think is missing, or what we should get more of! We're totally open to any ideas!

[inkedspell]

[She looks thoughtful.]

I don't read a lot of fiction. Haven't since I was a kid. But I can point you in the right direction, maybe.

[imaglyphwitch]

Well not just fiction! They're used books of all kinds! We'll try to see if we can get all kinds of books there!

[inkedspell]

At least, I can help you with books about magic, the blood types, folklore, and things like that. I've been through the Archives a lot. Need to do a run soon, actually. See what's new.

[She's always trying to keep up with what's newly published.]

[imaglyphwitch]

Yes, exactly! You can help Luca with that too, since he's studying to be arcane scholar!

Actually, I do hope you guys can give us recommendations, so we have a better selection for all of you.

[inkedspell]

No problem, Luzi-lu. Now let me set your stuff to the side and we can get back to work. Hoping to be done with all of this today.

[imaglyphwitch]

[Luz beamed at the name! It was so cute! She needed to come up with one for Saeri]!

You got it sai-sai! I'm still helping you, after all!

[OOC: did you still want to do that stuff where Saeri puts that tat on Luz? The month is almost over]]!
