The two of them walked into the store. The store had an archaic and classic feel to it, like a still intact building in a ruin. Orion looked at the man behind the counter. The young man looked a little strange, he wore a costume from before Earth went online and his stony grey eyes watched them in an eerie manner. Even in a game with various appearances, he stood out.
"Welcome to the Book Pavilion, Guest. What would you like to buy?" His voice was also weird, it was hoarse as if someone was scratching against sandpaper.
Carrow laughed loudly to dispel the weird feeling, "You sell only books here, you should be saying, What kind of book would you like to buy?"
The man did not laugh at his joke, he acted like an NPC, was he a robot? He did not look like one. He had no idea that Zane was pinching his thigh so hard to maintain this doll-like look in front of Orion Sage.
