The streets of the Upper City, notably less busy than the street in the Undercity. A bell rings as a door is opened. Standing behind the counter, reading a book, the bookstore owner, Waheed, looks up with surprise at the sound of the bell.

WAHEED: Ah, Silvia!

Silvia and Eesa have entered the bookstore. Silvia greets Waheed while Eesa appears to get distracted by a small table with stacks of books.

WAHEED: How lovely to see you again!

Waheed lifts his large, round glasses.

WAHEED: What brings you to the Upper City today?

Silvia pulls a book out of her bag and places it on the table. It is wrapped in linen.

SILVIA: This.

In the background we can see Eesa is looking at the books on the table.

SILVIA: I was hoping you might be able to salvage it. The binding is in pretty rough shape.

2-26 The Gilded Word

So, I know just last week I was defending myself for giving Sarsi too many establishing shots... but this week was genuinely my fault.

Anyway, welcome to the Upper City, and to the Gilded Word, probably Silvia's favorite place in the whole world.  Also meet Waheed, the proprietor of the bookstore.

Happy Pride everyone!  As someone who has been on their own journey of coming to know myself and love myself again, I hope that everyone out there has a safe and great month.  Be true to yourself, stand up for what you believe in, and above all, be kind.

Thanks for reading!
