Dave nodded. "I'm beginning to see that."<br/><br/>He studied the spinning figure of himself for a while, brows furrowed. Eventually he took the flaps of its jacket between thumb and forefinger and tugged. The jacket didn't budge.<br/><br/>"So just what's visible on the outside," Dave mused. "Interesting."<br/><br/>He thought a while longer, then cast a glance around the shop. He and Aoi appeared to be the only occupants, if you didn't count the cat and fairy. Satisfied, Dave reached into an inner pocket and pulled out a something flat - a small green copper rectangle, studded with a number of silver symbols. He lay it on the counter next to the figure.<br/><br/>"Does that seal mean anything to you?" he asked, eyes on Aoi's face once again.
