Shop Atmosphere

Elinora sings softly while working and always offers tea to customers; if a patron buys a book, she insists on adding a personalized marginal note in a neat hand. She refuses to sell scrolls to anyone who appears intent on harm and sometimes slips a tiny pressed herb into purchases for good luck.
