"Ah." He's never heard of it. "I used to pilot a ship myself, you know. Had to retire. Too many pirates out there now--" he waves a hand dismissively, and then raises a finger. "I'll give you a call if I come across it."

She snickers. "Aye, too many pirates. And ye do that." Still snickering, she turns and exits the shop.

Eric Descarta has just descended from his lookabout at the local observatory. Henry has one, like all towns, but it's usually to peer up into the skies and detect incoming space junk, and warn travelers on the roads of the latitude and longitude of where they might experience an impact. He's still as nerdy as ever--there's a stack of popular science magazines he keeps tucked under one arm. And unfortunately for Trin, he isn't watching where he's going. Eric bumps into her not long after she's exited the shop.

Trin stumbles forward and swings her fist at his stomach. "Watch it, ye arse!"

He falls back onto the floor, clutching his stomach. Cough! Wheeze! What the hell? "What's that for?" He frowns at her.

She glares down at him. "Ye ran into me."

"Well, I'm sorry!" He scrambles to his feet and tries to pick up his magazines. They're scattered on the ground and he looks embarrassed. "You don't--you don't just punch people because they run into you!"

"Obviously I do. What the hell be this?" She reaches to pick up one of the magazines.

"Don't touch that!" The magazine she picks up is one that features the latest in gadgetry. While she's looking at that, Eric hastily picks up the rest of them, even shuffling a few of them around to hide inside others. He holds his hand out to her. "Give it back."

She takes a step back and begins flipping through it. "Nay."

What's in that issue? Top Ten Stuff You Can't Afford, Top Then Things WE Can't Afford, Top Ten Things You'll Wish You Could Afford In A Year, and the Miss Gadget 2210 competition coverage. Eric cringes. "I have somewhere to be." No he doesn't.

"Then ye can go." She blinks then grins at the miss gadget competition. "Buy this for the articles?"

She really doesn't want to see that lingerie catalog he has hiding between the anime magazine and his science fiction journal. "Uh. That's not normally in there." He tries to grab the periodical again.

"I always buy it--" and then he realizes how bad that sounds. Eric takes a step forward. "Give it back. I paid a lot of credits for that issue." Wow, stick your foot in your mouth even further!
