"Not a word," Cam said mock-sadly, laughing. "Guess the knowledge within is just too transcendent for my puny little brain. Is this the season for tricks?"
They didn't know the holidays of Caido yet, of course; this was their first Leafchange. They barely had a handle on all the gods, let alone the calendar. Cooling air made them think of Halloween, of masks and candy and ghosts, and they realized they hadn't really asked what Caido actually celebrated this time of year, even while telling ghost stories themself.
"I was at the spooky story thing, remember? My name's Cameron. Wow, Wordsworth is a great last name for a bookseller." Cam glanced around the shop, smiling a little. They'd always liked hanging out in bookshops and libraries. "And this is a lot of books. Maybe this is a weird question, but do you have a printing press? Or do you have to make them all by hand?"
Cam didn't want to insult Caido by implying its technology was primitive, but they were curious as to how bookbinding worked in this world. The sheer quantity of books seemed to argue against hand-lettering.
