Matthew held her stare, steady and calm.
"Listen, shopkeeper, stop messing with me."
His cool, straightforward words snuffed out the sparkle in her eyes.
"Why you gotta be so cold?" she sighed, sounding a little wounded.
Then she stood up gracefully, her long, pale legs landing on the floor with quiet confidence.
She walked over to a bookshelf and casually grabbed a few thick books, setting them down in front of Matthew.
"Here.
"These are what you came for."
Matthew looked down at the stack—three massive volumes almost as tall as his head.
One read Complete Breakdown of Blackshore Island's Factions.
Another covered District 13's History and Unwritten Rules.
The last was titled How to Survive Longer.
"These books detail the history of District 13."
The books were taller than his head.
His brow furrowed.
Do you really know what I want? he wondered.
Even a kids' book about Cathay's five thousand years is slimmer than these, he thought.
Noticing his hesitation, she softened her tone.
"Only the first few dozen pages actually have anything written. The rest is blank.
"Gotta start somewhere before you can fill in a whole book, don't you think?"
Matthew sighed.
Then just publish updated versions when the time comes, he thought.
Without another word, he picked up the Complete Breakdown of Blackshore Island's Factions.
Though the whole thing felt a bit ridiculous, the title struck a chord.
This was exactly the information he needed.
He held the massive book—thick enough to span nearly a thousand pages—and finally got why the shelves were stuffed with so many volumes.
