Shop Atmosphere

“Vellin talks to his quill — he claims it remembers conversations. The shop smells faintly of ink, citrus, and singed parchment; he offers a free cup of spiced tea to customers who browse for more than ten minutes. Prices are slightly higher for those who 'rattle' the shelves or use loud weapons inside the store.”
