Cal glanced down at the books he was holding and nodded.
"Y-yeah, I'm good! Though I'll definitely be coming back here in the future."
Conversation. Changing the subject would make things less awkward. Right?

"I hope you do." Tony says, smiling a bit. "I love coming here a lot....though I bet he's," Talking about the owner. "Doesn't love how much I window shop sometimes..." He says, chuckling a bit.

"Psh....I rather people window shop instead of ignoring this place." Ernie says.

Cal grinned.
"Well, I'll be around either way. Though I'll try to buy something each time, even if I'm mostly window shopping."

"Well, make sure to tell others bout here if you'd think they'd be interested." Ernie says.

"Current window shopping become eventually buying." Tony says laughing a bit.

"Y'all ready to abandon me with your money? Ernie asks, jokingly.

"Sure, will do! I'd recommend it anyway; it's a nice place."
Cal grinned and chuckled.
"I think I'm ready to pay if you are, Tony?"

Ernie smiles. "I can always use more business and people."

"Yeah, I am." Ton says putting his books on the counter. "I'm glad you like this place....some people seem to avoid books like the plague."

(second covid shot is worse btw)

((Yeah, I've heard. I hope you feel better!))

"Yeah, I've noticed. I never understood why- I love books, personally. There's just something special about losing yourself in a good book, y'know?"

(And now my car needs transmission work....this month lol)

"It's good to go visit other worlds, for a break from things." Tony says, a little smile on his face.

( so since there are werewolves...are they born or can people be turned? What is the lore in this rp? lol)

((Oof, I'm sorry. I hope next month treats you better.))

Cal nodded.
"Exactly! That's why I like to go camping a lot, too. It's nice to unplug and get away for a while."

((Ok so I don't have every detail worked out but I figure lycanthropy is a genetic trait, so most werewolves are born, and generally live in small family units similar to packs. It can be passed on through biting though, but a born werewolf has more control over their transformations and more sense in their wolf forms, and more completel wolf forms (they appear as normal wolves only much larger.) Where a bitten werewolf has no control and no sense, and only transform to a certain degree, so they end up being closer to the steryotype werewolf monster.))

"Camping is relaxing....long as you don't run into some predator or something, you know? But minus that....and it can inspire a bit." Tony says. "Went camping not too long ago in fact...."

(I hope so, ty <3....is it bad that my brain instea dof picturing what you meant is like for turned have a cute human with ear and tail, maybe claws and a little fur XD I wonder if one had more control if theyd get closer to a born werewolf form....I think about this kind of stuff while reading or watching something XD

Also, my laptop is being weird .-. )
