Khalida smiles warmly at the young woman. "Thank you so much, I will ask for him. Good night," and with a quick glance to confirm the time as she heads towards the exit, tosses over her shoulder back at the librarian with a flirtatious grin...

As she strides down the stone steps of the library towards her car, Khalida's head buzzes with all of the information she has gleaned so far and thinks back on the words spoken to her in the phone call.
"What befalls the <static> when curiosity is sated?"

I have always been encouraged to pursue my curiosity, especially before Mama came into our lives. I wish I knew what word was used that I didn't make out...
Once in the Mazda, Khalida draws out the document she had printed out and checks the address for the desert and glass supply stores. Good, not too far away. I suspect it is a waste of time, since it said nothing about Emma Saint when I got these addresses, but there's no harm in driving by.
Putting the car in reverse, Khalida backs out of her parking space, then pulls forward and out into traffic, heading towards the southeast, back towards Old Town.
