[Jester has done some help with the heavy lifting, here and there—she may have even been a helping hand for Tim earlier, though honestly, she probably would stand out in his memory more than he would in hers. She's sturdy, herself, and is even stronger than she looks, and she likes helping people as much as she likes making their lives harder.
It's a balance, and it's all for the Traveler. It makes perfect sense if you're one of his, you know?
So, while Tim is now doing a lot of stocking, Jester appears to now be "helping" by rearranging the books he's already placed on shelves in new, less organized locations. She crosses paths with him a few times as she works on making the library's stock as inscrutable as possible, and she's also flipped through a book that caught her eye every once in a while as she works.
Eventually, she strikes up conversation, in her strongly accented lilting voice.]
Hey, Mr. Stocker Guy, do you know if like, any of the books here have, you know...
[And here she starts doing something odd with her eyebrows.]
...romance in them? You know, I have some books from home, but I can't keep reading the same two or three books over and over again, even if they are really really good, so you know, something like Tusk Love, or The Salty Sea, have you seen anything like that?
[...Apparently, she's switched to being a customer in the midst of masquerading as help.]
