Shop Atmosphere

“Gideon talks to his tools as if they're old friends; whenever you enter the shop the polishing cloth on the counter will inexplicably be in a different place than you left it. He keeps a jar of 'clockwork shavings' that jingles melodies when shaken and insists they improve morale. Prices sometimes adjust downward if you hum along to his workshop tune while bargaining.”
