Ren looked down at the directions she'd been given, then up at the building in front of her.
Tsundoku.
This was the place, certainly.
She gave herself a brief once-over, the high anxiety of someone about to go into a place she knew she didn't belong. She'd done her best with what she had. She'd changed into fresh clothing in a public restroom that morning, a black top with slightly opaque lace on her chest and arms. It was a bit silly, but she'd grabbed it from the store because it was pretty, not because it was practical. Black leggings, a clean pair. None of it would remain clean for long, she was certain, and it was already glittery because she was practically shedding the stuff. She'd rinsed off in the sink as best she could, but... there was a limit to what she could do. She'd literally slept in a puddle two nights prior. She was coated, a thin sheen of glitter all over her body. Her hair would probably always sparkle.
Hopefully it looked more intentional when coupled with normal-person clothes and less like she'd been the victim of a hazing incident.
She'd been told to go to this place by a librarian. She'd tried to make it clear she didn't have the money to buy books, but the librarian waved it off with a rather jaded, tired sounding half-laugh. She'd been all but throwing Ren out of the building so... here she was. At a bookstore, with no money. To ask for books about gargoyles.
She opened the door nervously, because it felt like someone's house. It kind of looked like someone's house, too. She sort of poked her head in the door; there were books everywhere. This was a store, she reminded herself. There was a sign. Nervously, she took a half step into the door.
"H-hello?" she asked nervously, unwilling to walk any further into the house/shop in case she was somehow doing something horribly wrong and offensive.
