Hitsugi noticed Natalie's unease and paused, closing the book and looking down at it. "Hey, you know I collect weird old things. I mean, its not really like I know how to even read this. I'm sure its harmless if its just on a bookshelf." He shrugged.
A small old woman hobbled over to them, her cane clicking on the floor. She owned the stall, and she easily looked like the one who could've written the book Hitsugi wanted. She took one look at Hitsugi and gave a knowing smile. She knew he couldn't resist finding out what was in the book. She also knew it wasn't serving any purpose for her anymore. "Ten dollars." She muttered, taking the book and sliding it into a paper bag for him.
Hitsugi grinned. "Wow, I thought it'd be more." He said, fishing out his wallet and paying the woman, thanking her over and over. He could be a bit overly polite to elderly people sometimes. Once he paid, he turned to Natalie and grinned. "Let's head to my place. We can call Tobias and have him meet us there."
