Shop Atmosphere

The inn's fireplace coughs tiny puffs of harmless steam and occasionally ticks like a clock. Thistle greets newcomers with a pinch of 'homeglow' — a powder that smells faintly of honey and keeps mice away. Regulars know that a lute placed near the mechanical radiator will play a single melancholic tune at midnight as long as Thistle winds the radiator's heart.
