Speakin' of which, have ye seen the shopkeeper anywhere?

Ah, right.

If you're looking for Kosuzu, apparently she went out to collect some rented books.

Hmh?

Hrrm... I could just come back later, but I'd really rather not go out there in the cold.

Looking at the time, she should be back soon. Why not wait here?

And you are...?

What, she ain't here?

Aye, just a regular customer hereabouts.
