Shop Atmosphere

Marwen stamps every bottle sold to soldiers with a small wax seal bearing the city militia crest; he enforces wartime rationing, giving priority to soldiers with proper papers and to those who bring battlefield casualties. He hums an off-key marching tune while he works and keeps a ledger with two columns — the legal price and a 'war price' in a different ink. He dislikes drunken customers, offers a modest discount to decorated veterans, and will only sell some rare concoctions after exchanging promises or favors rather than coin.
