Shop Atmosphere

“Professor Quinn will enthusiastically recite arcane brewing minutiae, stop mid-sentence to solder a pipe, and forget the price of an item while offering increasingly elaborate barters. Liria silently re-shelves mislabeled bottles so customers find what they want; if Quinn starts an invention, Liria will produce a neatly typed receipt and a stack of 'do-not-touch' tags. The shop's copper pipes flicker with faint lights when a rare potion is near, and a bell shaped like a tiny brass vial rings when a new delivery arrives. Quinn occasionally swaps in experimental 'improvements' for jars (expect whistles, pressure gauges, or a whiskered clockwork moth).”
