"Well miss." John Smith said turning to the pregnant woman. "These are historical texts from the last few centuries. It can be interesting to see how historical perspectives change over time. Many of these are first editions, could be worth something if you need money in the future." He smiled. "You have to understand though I literally have thousands of these. So if you have any historical interests from the last four-hundred years, especially exploration, feel free to ask." He smiled as he turned back to Nikki. "If you want Ill meet you at the pool." He said with a beaming smile.

"I am not much of a reader myself, but I do love history. If you don't have anything you can swim in, you should at least come and dip your feet! The pool sounds like a great place to relax."
Nikki walked over to peruse the books and selected one with a dark grey cover, without looking at the title. She tucked it under her arm.

"Ah yes that is a very interesting piece you have there. It was made by a friend-" He paused that friend of his had been dead by 1900 "uh- of all historians everywhere. You see after the French left Mexico after their invasion; many dont even know about it as it happened during the American Civil War; a journal of a French soldier who had died was discovered. The historian whos work youre holding copied it down, as well as copied down the journal of a Mexican soldier under Juarez. He put them together into one book with some historical analysis. This is a very early version of taking opposing views and putting their first hand accounts into one title." He paused as he finished his tirade. "My apologies, I get caught up in the past sometimes."

"I'll see you both near the pool very soon."

"Have fun. Ill meet you there." John said with a smile. "Hope to see you soon." He covered his mouth and did a fake coughing noise. "Love bikinis." He smirked as the girl smiled back at him. He shrugged.

"Oooooh. I see." She said as he looked over the covers, taking her time to find something she would like. She would eventually pick up something on Japanese history, unable to contain her weeaboo tendencies to resist. "I'll just take this one. I'll be sure to give it a good read over after the convention." She said as she smiled. "And, uh, I'll see you there then." She said as she waved the other girl good bye.

"I hope you enjoy the book. I dont have too much on Japanese history, only a few dozen books. But you should enjoy it." John Smith said. "Hope to see you at the pool."
