[The media store is full of fascinations and wonders and despite not knowing much of how anything works, aside from the books, Altria finds herself going there again and again anyway, spending ages just poring over the shelves and admiring just how many books are here.

It's unfamiliar. It's new. It's exciting.

So she's there, not touching any of the books but admiring her way through the science fiction section nonetheless, when she hears someone else huff out a laugh.

...?

She peers around one of the shelves, and because she's never learned to be polite, sticks her nose into his business immediately.]

What is?

( politeness is a prison.

and one that aziraphale is entirely beholden to. when a curious face peeks out from behind one of the shelf rows, aziraphale greets her with a soft nod and a smile first. )

The inventory here, my good lady. Have you perchance read through any of these yet?

[The inventory is a monkey's paw...?

Altria puzzles over that as she comes closer properly, rather than just poking her head around a shelf. She peers at the books, and then picks one off of the shelves--it's something very standard and derivative, a pretty classic fictional story where the bad guys lose and there's a perfect happy ending.]

I haven't read any of them yet, but this one looks nice! Surely they're not all monkey's tails.

[Nailed it.]
