Caroline is a little disappointed she actually has to go back to paying attention now, but she doesn't let it show. She snorts loudly at the book he's looking for. "Yeah, I know the one. Just a second."

She pops out from behind the counter and makes a beeline for the correct shelf. This one got filed a little strangely, given that... well, not too many of the usual crowd would be likely to want it. She carefully levitates it off the shelf and walks it back to the counter. It's probably safe for her to touch it, but better safe than sorry. She sets it on the counter as far from the little octopus as she can manage. "Here we are. It's... probably safe to touch, but I don't know that I'd risk it."

Well duh, Caroline, obviously she hadn't risked it. She levitated it over. Ugh.
