Shop Atmosphere

The whole shop gently sways with the current even though it is built into a stone arch in the seabed. Bottles are suspended in floating rings of kelp fiber, labels are written on mother-of-pearl tags, and a hush of blue-green light pulses from water itself gathered in enchanted basins. Customers who speak softly can hear distant whale-song in the walls, while louder voices make the shelves shimmer with warning ripples.
