Book Fair

Giles had gotten up at ack o'clock and actually had toted five boxes of books to the Fandom High Gym before he "cheated."

Everything was now set up neatly on tables, and separated by genre.

There was also coffee and hot water urns, bottled water, and a variety of pastries and breads set on a table near the register.

The First Annual Fandom High Book Fair was open for business.

[ooc: Hang on to your collective hats while I get the OCD threads up, please.

Threads are UP. Whew. I think you all know how this works. Go look for a book. Up to you whether you find it or not. No, there is no magic/new age section. Yes, Giles has planned it that way.

That's it! Go to town! Wait. No. Stay here and buy stuff...]

"Hello Seras," Walter greeted. "And Pip. Still a goose, I see."

Pip gave a honk that might have been either a hello or a disparaging remark about Walter's keen observational skills.

Walter smirked at the gosling mercenary before tilting his head to have a look at the books Seras had in hand. "Interesting selection. I'm interested in learning more about guns, too."

"Are you really?" asked Seras, a bit surprised, "I mean, I'd have thought, with your wires and all, you wouldn't care too much about fire arms."

She passed him over the books -- one about effective combat strategy with small arms and the other about assembling and disassembling automatic pistols -- since he seemed interested in them.

Walter shrugged and flipped open the book. "Not for me, really, but I work with people who use guns, I have friends who use guns. It seems like a useful thing to know."

Seras nodded.

"So, what do you want to learn about guns then, if not how to use them?"

"How to repair them or improve them, I suppose. Something to help the people I care for; something to give them every possible advantage in a fight."

Seras nodded.

"Oh, speaking of that, you said you'd spar with me a bit, one day. Show me some things. Not chickening out, are you?"

Walter snorted. "Hardly. Pick a time, but not tomorrow. I have detention."

Seras grinned.

"Brilliant. Well, Sundays and Tuesdays are best for me."

"Tuesdays I have morning and evening workshops and work the lunch shift at the restaurant, so it seems we have Sundays by default. This weekend?"

Seras grinned.

"You're on."
