Everest yawned, waking up. Had she gone to sleep with her gloves on? Oh well, best to get moving before most people got up, she wanted to see if anyone sold coffee before someone stopped her and asked what a thirteen year old girl was doing in the heart of allycity. Hopefully someplace here sold coffee. Oh. She thought, stopping herself before she opened the door. Alanis wants to study the atium. It was a good thing she had agreed to it, it meant Everest might be able to learn about her sister. Her sister... no! She told herself forcibly. Not now. She shook her head, fishing in her satchel for the notebook. She hadn’t actually filled all her books up, she just wanted to see who this Alanis was, and one of the best ways to figure out who a person was would be to figure out how much they are willing to give you.
Everest took out the book and pen, carefully writing. ‘When would you like to study the atium?’ What else could she write? ‘I’m going on a hunt for to get coffee, and should be back by 9:00.’ That done, she could go to a coffee place, or a place that sold coffee, and finally settle down a bit in allycity.

Everest sighed, opening the door of the building she’d started to call the library. “Alanis?” She called, “you here?” She decided to wait for her, grabbing a book about chulls and sitting down in one of the cozily lit chairs. It was nine thirty, and Everest was pretty sure Alanis would be awake.
