Shop Atmosphere

Maereth keeps a tiny bell on the counter that rings whenever someone lies inside the shop; she claims it’s old and unreliable, but it tends to jingle at oddly appropriate moments. She offers a 10% discount to apprentices and those who bring her curious stories or rare components in trade. The shop smells faintly of ozone and jasmine, and a pinned ledger on the wall lists 'restricted' items requiring references or explanation before purchase.
