A ship flies through the skies over Vale and the camera pans down to the city streets. The owner of the Dust shop "From Dust Till Dawn" is hanging a sign declaring its re-opening. As he climbs down from his ladder, he stumbles and falls. Emerald Sustrai appears next to him.
Emerald is giggling.
"Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here."
She helps him to his feet.
"Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?"
Emerald produces a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeep looks it over.
The old shopkeeper thinks for a minute before replying.
"Hmm? Mm-hmm."
Emerald walks away from the shop owner as both wave goodbye and passes Mercury Black at a corner.
Mercury, the silver haired one speaks up once they are out of hearing distance.
"I knew you were lost."
"Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up."
She produces a wallet with Lien and waves it in Mercury's face.
"That's not your money." Emerald is unfazed by this.
"But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence."
Mercury pretends to be thinking for a mimute.
"Mmmm... no deal."
"Fine."
Emerald takes the Lien and tosses the wallet, turning to walk away.
Mercury shrugs, still cocky.
"Whatever. You want me."
More of the city is shown, including a café where two extras sit chatting. Mercury and Emerald are walking through the city. Mercury, clearly bored, asks Emerald.
"So, how much farther?"
"A few blocks."
"Ugh... this place is so dull."
"Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture..."
"And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket."
Emerald stops.
"That's every city."
Mercury play acts as a victim.
"Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!"
Emerald glares at him, groaning angrily. She then walks away from him.
"Ugh... you're no fun today."
Mercury follows behind Emerald. The scene shifts to Emerald and Mercury entering a shop full of books. The shop owner can be heard humming a tune. Mercury stops near the door to look at books while Emerald approaches the counter and rings a service bell.
The shop owner calls out from the back.
"Be right there!
Emerald looks back at Mercury. The shop owner is seen through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walks backwards and out toward the counter.
"Welcome to "Tukson's Book Trade", home to every book under the sun!"
He sets the stacks down offscreen.
"How may I..."
Turning around, he gasps and hesitates upon recognizing the two of them. Mercury is now holding a book.
