Shop Atmosphere

“Rupert insists on calling all customers 'dear' and offers a free cup of scalding tea with any purchase over 10 gp. He keeps a cat named Cogsworth in a patched top hat that 'approves' items by pawing them; if the cat likes an item Rupert will knock 10% off the price (only once per visit). The shop smells of oil, tea, and old paper; many goods have little handwritten tags with cryptic provenance notes like 'Found under the Stonewife Bridge' or 'Was someone's favourite once.'”
