Azriel peeked out from behind the bookshelf. He noted how...strangely bright Cricket was. It confused him, he never saw anyone so luminescent.
Cricket smiles warmly at Azriel, noticing how nervous he seemed to be
Cricket: Hello...can I help you?
"U-U-Uh.."
He looked around, but he quickly went back behind the shelve
Cricket walks down the aisle and over to him. He looks at him, curious
Cricket: Hey, it's ok! I promise I don't bite...
He stumbled back, grabbing onto the shelf as he fell. Basically, this whole fucking section of books has fallen onto him
Cricket: Eep! He rushes over to Azriel, pulling books off of him so he can get up. He offers Azriel a hand, smiling at him
Cricket: Hey-you should be more careful...I don't mind cleaning up but you could've hurt yourself-these hardcovers hurt like hell, I would know...
He winks at Azriel
"U-h..I...t-t-thank you.."
Cricket: No problem! So-are you looking for something specific...? I'm more of a fan of fantasy novels, but there's definitely some great reads in science fiction...
He starts collecting the books, stacking them neatly
"Oh...n-no..I just...wanted to find s-omething to read..""
Cricket: Oh! Well-hm...oh, I know!
He hands Azriel a book called Strange the Dreamer
Cricket: This is one of my favorites...
