Shop Atmosphere

“The shop is an anteroom of curiosities: clockwork chairs that rock by themselves, shelves labeled by emotion rather than item type, and a faint scent of old books and bergamot. Esmé insists on wrapping purchases in brittle, embossed paper and will often bargain by offering a story about an item's provenance instead of a discount. She only accepts exotic trade items (family heirloom, rare map) for high-value barter, and will sometimes offer a complimentary cup of lemon tea that 'sharpens the memory' to customers who buy magical items.”
