((I will go there after the scene at the hospital is done))
Ramses stuffed his hands in his pockets and began the walk home. He stopped for a moment to watch a couple squirrels play before he returned to his shop, reopening to a short line.
"I'm quite sorry" he said to a woman in the front who simply smiled.
"Mr. Ramses, you are the only bookshop for miles. I would wait forever for you."
They shared a laugh as he opened the door.
((End of the this scene))

**THE NEXT DAY**
Ramses burst in the door and through his shop in to his room, he packed lightly, bringing only a change of clothes, a map of Lorien, France and Paris, and a book. He also tied around his waist a sword, which had been given to him by an elder elf for helping to educate the children of their village. It was heavy, but light all at the same time.
He picked up the phone and dialed Leetah's number.

*Leetah picked up the phone and replied. As a shaman, she had a habit of knowing who was calling before she picked up the phone, a fact that had frightened many humans.*
"Hello Ramses, what can I do for you today?"
*She didn't sound so tired anymore.*

"I just left there 20 minutes ago Leetah" he smiled on the other end "I must ask you a favor, more so, a favor from your son. Would you be so kind as to ask Beraht if he would take care of my shop while I am away? I will pay him for his work and if he'd like, he can stay at my shop during the duration of my absence."

*Leetah smiled warmly.*
"Knowing my son and his love for books, he will be more than happy to take care of your bookshop. I will send him over."

"Well I am leaving now I'm afraid" The sooner the better "tell him I am leaving the key underneath the doormat, the register is always open and that the plants in the hall must be watered twice a week-" there was a pause as if Ramses had something else to say, something more important than anything in the world but all he managed was a "thank you Leetah, I will see you upon my return" and hung up.
He threw his pack over his shoulder and motioned for a carriage driver, he knew they would only take him as far as the border, and from there he'd have to find his own way.
That was fine.

*Leetah hung up the phone, thoughtful for a moment. Then she called home to talk to Beraht Cutter and send him down to Ramses' bookshop. She remembered to give all the instructions.*

************NEW DAY**************
*Wild entered the bookshop, followed by Edna, who was Edward IV of England in drag.*

((I wouldn't say he was in DRAG per se, I mean, he's actually a woman... there are no words for what he is right now))
Edna looked around nervously, she couldn't believe she was doing this, it was ridiculous, how could this potion really do what she said it could do? And if Wild could have told her all these things before, why didn't she?
It didn't matter now, she was stuck.

*Wild looked over at Edna, giggling.*
"Don't look so frightened, you are absolutely divine. I can't see why he wouldn't hit on you. I'll sneak into the section with history books and pretend to read while you guys have fun. Good luck."
*She winked and snuck over to the bookshelves, hoping Ramses wouldn't try to check up her instead.*

Ramses, who hadn't heard a word popped up from behind the desk wiping his hands on a towel, he noticed two Gorgeous women walk in to the shop, one was elven that was for sure, but she quickly the dissapeared, the other was human and looked almost frightened even.
His killer instincts immediately kicked in, he could smell a frightened calf, and she was standing right in front of him.
"How can I help you?" He asked in his most sultry voice.

Edna turned suddenly to a voice that could make angels sing. That wasn't my thought, that was the estrogen talking he tried to convince himself.
He giggled nervously and tried to cover himself up, suddenly aware of the way he looked.
"I er, need a book"- Oh real good, I imagine you'd need a book, you're in a bloody bookstore!- "a historical book."

*Wild peeked from behind a bookshelf. For a moment she was frightened Ramses would hit on her instead of Edward. Then her plans would have been ruined. She smiled wryly. Everything seemed to be working as it should. Now the rest was up to Edward.*
Remember what I told you, Edna. Act like a lady, not like a streethooker. And - did you say history book? Damn, you'll draw his attention to where I'm standing!!
*Quickly she picked up a book, pretending to be reading.*

"A history book?" Ramses looked at the woman with a raised eyebrow, she didn't seem, in the slightest, the kind of the girl that would be looking for a history book, and neither did the girl that was standing in the history section.

*Wild looked up at Edna from behind her book, giving her a wink in the direction of the romantic novels.*
"Ask for the historic romance novels. Like The Scarlet Pimpernel."
*She mouthed to Edna.*
