Kori was in the back doing some paperwork when she overheard the two individuals talking. Her hearing was much more acute than that of a human, so even from the separate room, she could hear their conversation as clearly as if she were standing next to them. She frowned slightly as she recalled the man in question having come in. He was drunk and rambling on. She had given him a cup of coffee and something to eat, on the house, to try to help sober him up a bit. As these individuals apparently assumed, he had left a book. She wasn't entirely certain that it was an accident, though. When the girl that found it told her he had left a book, she had initially assumed that perhaps, his way of paying her back for her help. Once she had seen the book, however, she found that doubtful. It was an ancient, rare, and not to mention dangerous book, so unless he had absolutely no idea what he was carrying around, then that seemed unlikely.<br/><br/>How he had even gotten his hands on it to begin with was a mystery. At any rate, she had hidden it away for the moment and she had no intention of revealing it to strangers. The last thing she wanted was for something so dangerous to fall into the wrong hands. Oddly, their intentions were difficult to determine. The energy they gave off was neither good nor bad. It wasn't common that she ran into people whose intentions were so well hidden. Did they have none, or were they hiding them? Either way, there was no way she was handing this book over to them. She'd have a hard enough time handing it over to the right people, let alone some randoms with no clear intentions. No thanks.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, at the front counter, the girl at the counter, Madeline, who was thankfully not here on the day in question, greeted them. "Hello," she greeted him. When he mentioned a book, she perked up, but soon realized that she had no idea what he was talking about. "A... face?" she questioned with a sort of blank, almost confused expression, obviously having no idea what he was talking about. "I don't think so. I don't remember seeing anyone like that. It might have been on my day off, though," she responded. "I can ask my manager, though, if you'd like," she suggested, looking around for Aidan, the manager. Before she found him, however, Kori came out of her office, pulling some keys out of her bag in order to look her office, appearing as though she were leaving for the day and had only just noticed the individuals. "Hmm? Is everything okay, Maddie?" she asked as she looked between them for a moment before locking up the office.<br/><br/>Madeline briefly explained what they were looking for and Kori appeared to contemplate it for a moment before shaking her head, "No, I don't think so. I think I remember the man you are talking about. He came stumbling in here the other night. He was... rather intoxicated. I gave him some coffee and something to eat to sober him up before I called him a taxi to take him where ever he needed to go. I don't recall him having a book with him, though," she explained, seeming perfectly pleasant and honest. "I'm sorry that I can't be of more help. You're welcome to have a look around, if you'd like," she added with an apologetic smile.<br/><br/>"I do apologize, but I am late for a lunch meeting, so I will have to excuse myself," she said with a small, apologetic bow of her head. "Maddie here can help you look around," she offered, gesturing back to the girl behind the counter. "Give me a call if you need anything. I'll be back after the meeting," she said to Madeline, holding up her phone before giving the couple a final smile. "I hope you find what you are looking for," she bade them goodbye and left the cafe.<br/><br/>In case anyone was following her, she went straight to the restaurant where she was meeting up with Yuki. She got a table and ordered something to drink before pulling out her phone and checking the cameras in the cafe, just in case. The book wasn't there, so even if they decided to go checking around in places they didn't belong, they wouldn't find it, but she was curious as to what they would do. She was curious how badly they wanted this book, how far they would go to find it, and if they suspected that she was lying, despite her giving no indications that she was.
