[ There's amusement in his eyes, and he concedes with a slight nod. ]

You weren't wrong on that one.

... Although-- "fancy pants." You have thesauruses in that store of yours, don't you?

[ He holds up a hand, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. ]

Alright, alright. I didn't realize this was a sensitive topic. You have my apologies.

[ It is... really good to see Sandon smile. His visits have always been so grim. ]

Thank you.

Also, just so you're aware, the plural of "thesaurus" is "thesauri".

[ He arches an eyebrow at that. ]

I feel like you're making that up to spite me.

I am not. Would you like a dictionary? I sell those.

[personal profile] arbitrated 2015-05-30 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Do you? And here I thought that was only a rumor.

[personal profile] animated 2015-05-30 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh goodness, no. I do, in fact, sell books at my bookstore.
arbitrated: (014)

[personal profile] arbitrated 2015-05-30 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Now, that is surprising. I always assumed they were cardboard facades. The type you find on shelves in furniture stores.
animated: (015)

[personal profile] animated 2015-05-30 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
I actually think that's my worst nightmare. An entire bookstore full of fake books.
arbitrated: (005)

[personal profile] arbitrated 2015-05-30 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
... Really? Not-- I don't know, spiders? Standing at the top of a very tall building? Things that go bump in the night?
animated: (201)

[personal profile] animated 2015-05-30 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. Fake books. [ he shudders ] Creepy.

[ ... Alright, that manages to surprise a genuine laugh from him. ]

Is it all the blank pages that scares you? Or the possibility that they're hollow inside?
animated: (003)

[personal profile] animated 2015-05-30 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ That laugh is a surprise, and Charlie actually beams a little for getting one out of him ]

I dunno. I mean, if it's got blank pages I guess it's still technically a real book.

[ He hums thoughtfully, folding his hands on the table. ]

Have you ever seen that episode of The Twilight Zone, where the man has all the time in the world to read, only his glasses break?
animated: (145)

[personal profile] animated 2015-05-30 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my God, no. That sounds horrifying.
arbitrated: (010)

[personal profile] arbitrated 2015-05-30 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, there's also the little fact that he was the last man left in the world, but yes. His glasses breaking was a tragedy.
animated: (133)

[personal profile] animated 2015-05-30 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds doubly horrifying, then. I don't know if I could handle being the last man on Earth, even if I did have a ton of books.

What I really want to know is -- if you had to choose between hollowed out books or unreadable ones, which would be the lesser of two evils?
animated: (107)

[personal profile] animated 2015-05-30 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess that depends on your definition of "unreadable". If it could still be ready by somebody, then that one for sure.
arbitrated: (001)

[personal profile] arbitrated 2015-05-30 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
So as long as someone can enjoy it?

No wonder you sell books.

And for putting up strange little signs and statues in your store, apparently.

Why, Mr. Lysander, are you spying me?

[personal profile] arbitrated 2015-05-30 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Your store has windows that face the street, Mr. Maxwell. And whether you believe it or not, I do, on occasion, drive.
