[The last time Aziraphale made his own post, it was rehearsed. Prepared. He had a plan. He still looked like the neurotic, anxious mess he tends to be but he'd managed to keep most of his nerves at bay. This time, though? This time there's no preparation, no plan, no mission.

This time you just get a fairly frustrated (and slightly angry) angel making a post.]

If you are, perhaps, given a book by mistake, a book that doesn't belong to you-

[Breathe in, breathe out...]

Could you, perhaps, let me know? Apparently some of the books in my bookshop were sent through the mirror, but have ended up scattered around and they were- they are quite delicate. I'd appreciate if they didn't get damaged, they are...

Very important to me.

[Taking care of his bookshop is the closest he's ever felt to having a 'home'.]

Thank you very much.

[OOC: Feel free to assume your character found a book! Aziraphale specialized in first editions, so those are the most likely.]

'Tis no need to fret. You seem to cherish books and learning and I would agree with it.

[Thankfully Breezy is not on the book but Mira will show it to him regardless. It certainly looks nice.]

[Aziraphale would have had a very different reaction to her reply if he'd thought the cat was actually on the book, or that it could damage it. The book being so close to the cat is still... not his favorite thing, but that just means he has to get the book back.]

I'll look forward to meeting you then. I'll send you the address- my shop isn't open yet but we can still meet there.

Of course. I shall be there anon.

[And without the cat now using its wings to become a purrito. Once the address is given, she will go immediately with the book held close to her. That and she's excited to see a bookstore, even if it may just be the front of it.]

[It will probably not what she'll have in mind when she thinks of a bookstore. There's books, for sure, Aziraphale has worked very hard to gather as many as possible. But it also looks to be a weird hybrid between a library and... a tea shop. The smell of tea and pastries emanates from the inside when he opens the door to greet her, a big smile on his lips at the prospect of saving yet another of his books.]

Hello there! Oh, do come inside- it's not quite- I mean, it's not ready for a grand opening yet, but I'm working on it.

[When she first enters, Mira is simply floored by all the knowledge and stories being held within the space. It's nothing like the Great Gubal Library (haunted and with fiends and frogs) or even the book space on the First; nay it is cozier than that.]

My thanks for your kindness, this is a rather remarkable place.

[Spoken as she does hold out the book to him but then cannot help but ask a question. It would be unlike her to pass on such a thing but..]

Forgive me for asking but, might you have need for assistance for your opening?
