Shop Atmosphere

Kest's shop sits in a narrow, poorly lit alley that smells faintly of ozone and citrus. Shelves are cluttered with labeled vials, mismatched corks, and small tins; several items are wrapped in cloth stamped with other merchant marks. Varek is genial but twitchy — he counts coins with an unconcerned hand while watching the door. He offers lower prices for buyers who can provide a 'useful favor' (information, a job, or a quiet delivery). He refuses to discuss the provenance of 'high-end' goods, but will trade them for favors, rare ingredients, or silence.
