"I'm done with deliveries." Alex said as he walked back into Naila's cottage, throwing the little bag he carried around on the wooden floor. The girl was on her desk, reading an old book, its pages ready to fall off at any moment. "Here" he told her, letting go of the coins the customers had given him on the table. She simply hummed, not paying much attention nor showing any kind of excitement for the caramels that the little elf had brought her. She seemed to be immersed in that old book. "Hello?" He told her and shook his hand in front of her glasses.
"What?" Naila asked, kind of irritated. "Oh, sorry. I was too focused on the book." She said. Alex drew the chair opposite of her, sitting down and eyed the book. It was upside down so he couldn't read much, the letters were also a bit faded.
"What book is it? It looks really old" he commented and the fairy nodded, turning it around for Alex to see.
