SAMUEL stretch out my life & pick the seams out Sam had been rather ashamed to discover the dust on the back of his books, especially towards the darker end of the store away from the window. He'd been trying to find one specific tome for sale when he'd dislodged the cloud and had to step down to stop himself coughing on it. Had it been in his own personal collection he might have left it for another day, but as they were in his shop, they needed cleaning. He was invested in this task, wiping down each book with a cloth before he got to the shelf itself, when there was a knock on the door. During opening hours people usually simply walked in, so this caught his attention. Carefully and slowly stepping down his ladder he then tried to quickly get to the door and open it, was surprised to see Deimos. He and his soon to be brother-in-law had gotten along fine in the few times they'd spoken, but he had not ever known the man to be a voracious reader or a great friend. "Oh! Hello. Would you like to come in..? I was just cleaning in the back, but I could help you find something if you need me to..?" He asked, stepping back to let Deimos into the building. take what you like, but close my ears and eyes, watch me stumble over and over.
