"Yup. Before you ask, no, I've got no clue who did the thing with the ceiling."

"I," says Darren definitively, "will have to find out."

"Suppose it just looks that way, if you flew up there it'd be ceiling?" guesses Charlie.

"I'm tempted to go find out, but I don't wanna unexpectedly bump my head."

"It's still ceiling. I asked, and it doesn't rain here 'cause of that - they get water through pipes and water everything."

"Makes sense. Well, I wanna see everything, what's first?"

"Books...?" wheedles Darren.

"Food," says Savannah. "Then you can geek out over books. I'm hungry."

"Oh wow, now that you mention it me too, starving, let's find something to eat and then I guess Dad is going computer shopping?"

"That's the plan."

"Oh. Right. Food. I um - forgot."

He gets a shoulder pat from his father. "What are we in the mood for? First restaurant that we see, or something specific?"

"Not picky, over here."

"Not picky," declares Savannah. "Just hungry."

"Okay," shrugs Vernon. Off they go, to the closest obvious restaurant!

They locate a little sandwich shop. It mostly has sandwiches, but also fries and milkshakes. Bella orders a battered cod fillet on whole wheat with tartar sauce and cabbage on it and a side of fries and talks her dad into splitting a shake with her.

In addition to his half of the shake, Charlie will be dining on a turkey club and onion rings.

Vernon has a salami sandwich with mustard, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickles, and swiss cheese. He's not particularly interested in having a side, and just has the sandwich.

At random, Savannah picks something off of the menu with a name she hasn't seen before in her life. It turns out to be vegetarian. Extremely vegetarian. Savannah whines about the lack of meat a bit, but placates herself with fries and ends up reasonably happy in the end.

Darren picks a caprese sandwich, protecting himself from his sister's potential thievery while still getting something delicious. When lunch is done he starts wheedling for books, again.

"I'm off," says Charlie, when his food is gone. "I'll call if I don't spot you or the fellow won't let me in, little lion."

"Oh my god, is that my new nickname? I have another extra nickname. Great. Okay. Love you, Dad, see you later."

Vernon waves goodbye to Charlie. "Library and the bookstore's that way," he points, "and the store with magic stuff is that way." Another point. "Up to you which you want to go to."

"Ooh, I'm torn," says Bella, as she hugs her dad and sends him on his way. "Magic stuff, I think, unless Darren's got a better idea."
