He took the book and nodded. "S-sure," he said as she stepped back towards the stack of books and the boy. "Are you going to buy all these?" he asked curiously as he nodded at the stack. "I'm looking for murder mysteries," he admitted as he flipped through the book he now held. It didn't seem like a murder mystery, but it was interesting nonetheless. "And preferably written by a witch or wizard. I'm tired of muggle stories." The intrigue was there, but he found himself thinking of all the ways magic could solve muggle storylines.

Though, muggles DID write about magic a fair amount. Their ideas and creativity really showed in that regard, and he supposed a muggle murder mystery that still contained magic in some way was acceptable. He'd even take superpower ones. That almost counted as magic, right?

Kenneth was pleased the other boy took the book. It was intended as a friendship offering. He'd never made a friend before, but he enjoyed being given books, so he'd hoped (correctly, it seemed) that offering a book might enable this boy to be a friend.

He shrugged. "Maybe," Kenneth said. He wasn't sure his uncle would let him buy all of them, and he wasn't sure he'd even have time to read them all before school started. Or after school started. He examined the stack of books, looking to see if any of the titles sounded murder mystery-esque. None did, but that didn't surprise him...he wasn't sure what a magical murder mystery story would be called.

"I think these are all written by a witch or wizard," he said proudly. "I was looking for that sort, too, I've only ever read muggle stories." The one he currently had open was about some unicorn friends. If he could only buy one book, he thought it'd be this one. "Did you know unicorns are real?" he asked the other boy. He'd only just learned that today.
