Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells of ink, ozone, and dried lavender. Shelves are a cheerful chaos — scrolls float in protective glass bubbles that hum faintly; Marella offers tea to customers and will happily tell a two-minute story about any scroll's origin for a silver. She insists that customers sign a ledger (in invisible ink) promising not to misread explosive scrolls. Occasionally a stray glyph will rearrange letters of product tags — Marella calls it 'spelling with attitude' and charges 1 cp to have it fixed.”
