The Scriptorium smells faintly of wet earth and ink. Thalindra will only haggle if the buyer presents a living leaf token (given freely to those who pledge to do no harm to the grove) or offers a trade of lore (a unique or unusual story about a place in the forest). The shop's shelves rearrange themselves at dusk; items not meant for mortal hands are shuffled into hidden alcoves. Thalindra occasionally reads the margins of unwary buyers' notes and leaves helpful annotations in a coppery script.
