[ This is an apartment. It's a fairly small apartment- even for someone on Jacob's salary, but it suits him. Every thing is practical and neat- if a little dark. Dear Jake has a fondness for dark wood when it comes to furniture- and perfect.

Except for the part where there's a 200-pound wolf sprawled on the bed like he owns it. The fedora is hanging from one of the bedposts, for want of a proper hat rack.

Jacob himself is in the shower, pondering how the hell his life got so complicated all of a sudden. ]

If you're quite finished.

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

Nope. But start talking anyway.

[Who's a good boy! Yes you are! Yes you are!]

[wizardcop]

I sort of need your attention for this. [ he quirks a brow, and Fedora seems to take the hint and backs off ]

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

[So put out.]

Fine. What is it?

[wizardcop]

[ He fishes a few papers out of the box- they look like they were torn out of a very old book- and hands them over ]

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

[She'll study them for a moment before quirking an eyebrow.]

That's... nice? What is it?

[wizardcop]

I was hoping you could tell me. I found them with, well- [ motions to Fedora, who's settled down on the floor ]

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

It... could be Celtic. Ye Olde English... Maybe? I don't know, why don't you go ask someone who--I don't know--knows old books?

[wizardcop]

If I knew who to go to, I would. To be fair, you've probably got more connections in this area than I do.

... There's a Russian with an occult shop, but you really don't want to go talk to him.

[wizardcop]

... Then who do I want to talk to?

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

Library, internet, or the Russian in the occult shop.

[wizardcop]

But you just-- Forget it. I'm sorry I asked.

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

You could always try and win him over. It might be fun to watch the fireworks.

[wizardcop]

You are immensely helpful.

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

Oh, and if you catch him on a good day, he might speak English.

But hell if I know where else you should take this.

[wizardcop]

I suppose... I really don't have much of a choice, do I?

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

Mmmmnope.

Not at all!

[wizardcop]

Oh joy.

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. You'll be fine.

[wizardcop]

By the way, you never did answer my question- at least not truthfully.

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

... What was the question again?

[wizardcop]

Why you're even here in the first place.

[salamandher.livejournal.com]

Oh. That.

[Points to his counter.]

You have paperwork.

[wizardcop]

...

You snuck into my house, and hid in my pantry... to bring me paperwork.
