 You have stumbled upon a mysterious shop front while walking the cobble stone streets of Durem. Random items clutter the dusty front window, but nowhere can you find a name of the shop. Curious, you decide to check it out. What could the harm be? Stepping in, a tiny bell above the door chimes, and you are met with a blast of warmth.
The shop looks more like a home than anything, and you wonder it maybe you stumbled upon a hotel. Your eyes drift lazily as you take in the sights. The entryway is somewhat tiny, with a wall of shelving for shoes directly in front of you. There is a reception desk directly to your left, but it is facing the same direction you are. No one sits in the roller chair. From there it quickly opens to a large area which looks like a living room, with an attached kitchen. The walls bulge out in giant horizontal pillars of wood, giving the effect of a log cabin. The fire place on the far end of the room is decorated with soft stones that reach to the ceiling, and the floor is decorated with a soft rug, a coffee table and some seating space.
Before you have time to take the rest in, a woman appears from a set of stairs, just around the corner from the shoe rack. Her hair is silvery in colour and pulled back, letting the bangs and some chunks fall to the side. Her bright red eyes met yours as she spoke.
"Welcome! Welcome! Please, take off your shoes and your jacket, and make yourself at home."
She smiles politely at you, offering her hand to take your coat.

She had passed this particular building many times while out shopping. It had always drawn her attention, having thought it was always an antique shop due to the clutter and dust in the windows.
The girl in question had finally stopped to take a peek inside after her most recent hair appointment. Oh sure she had things to do back at her own place of business, but there was just enough to take a peek. Right?
Mameha shuddered slightly at the thought of wasting more time and not getting her own work done, but she was going to enter this shop be it now or soon in the future.
Now seemed like the best option since she didn't know when she'd be back in Durem again.
---
Smiling slightly to herself upon hearing the little bell above the door chime, she let her orange eyes gaze lazily about and take in the sights. It reminded her of her own little shop in a way. Warm and inviting, but not quite as busy and full of life.
Only...there was something different. It didn't seem like a shop at all now that she really took it all in. It looked more like someone lived here, or a small inn to spend the night.
"Well...guess that solves my curiosity." She muttered.
"Welcome! Welcome! Please, take off your shoes and your jacket, and make yourself at home." Mameha had to have jumped a mile. The silver haired woman seemed to just appear out of nowhere! Though it didn't help that she was distracted to begin with.
"Uhm...alright." She said quietly, removing the wooden sandals from her feet and setting the closed umbrella against the wall near them.

Rose smiled, waiting for the woman to finish removing her shoes. "My name is Rose. Welcome to my shop. Would you like something to drink during your stay? I have almost anything so please feel free to ask." She moved out of the way so her guest could properly enter.
She motioned a hand towards the small shelves that decorated the walls, and the items sitting the the front window. "Feel free to look around, or rest on the couches if you like." She turned to motion to the couches sitting in the center of the rather large room.

Mameha nodded and smiled at her. "Thank you, Rose. Do you have hot tea? If you don't mind that is..." she asked, before letting her gaze drift about the inside of the establishment. So it really was a shop on the inside, despite the warm feel of a home.
Her eyes drifted among the many items on the shelves and laying in the window. There was just so much!
'I guess this really is an antique shop of sorts.' She thought, stepping over to look at some items on a shelf.

"Of course! No problem at all. Any flavor preference?" She smiled and headed towards the open kitchen. She pulled the tea kettle from a cupboard and brought it to the sink, filling it slightly with water. "I suppose that's what you could call it." She chuckled, glancing at the items on the shelves, before turning back to the kettle. She placed it quietly on the stove, turning the burner on high to boil the water. While she waited, she pulled a mug from the cupboard and placed it on the counter.

Mameha silently shook her head to the question, her attention focused on some of the shelves and the items upon them. This shop was really quite a wonder to behold. The shelves were littered with all sorts of strange, unique and simple little items. She even swore there were some sewing needles there too.
Standing again, she went to wander along the shelves as her tea was being prepared. Passing by a couple of small statuettes, some trinkets and jewelry, 'Meha's attention was drawn to a glint from a nearby shelf.
The light was hitting the object perfectly, making it seem to sparkle. Immediately she closed the rest of the distance between them and picked up a small, silver bell tied to a piece of red thread.

Rose hummed slightly as she prepared the tea, dropping in a random bag of tea from her cupboard. As the kettle on the stove whistled, she moved about, grabbing it a moment later. As she poured the hot water over the bag, the scent of peppermint filled the area.
Once the womans tea was ready, she made here way back, holding the cup out to her. "See anything you like?" She questioned, noticing the girls gaze locked on something.

Smiling an accepting the cup of tea, Mameha glanced back around the little shop. The smell of the peppermint soothing her, allowing her to concentrate on some of the items on the shelf.
"There's so much here that I'd love to take home with me..." She said, taking a sip of the tea and standing to go look. She passed by several charms, glass and crystal figures, even some flowers. She had to admit that amazed her. Mameha looked back down toward the charms and jewelry as she took another sip of her tea. Something glinted in the light of the shop, it definently wasn't a gemstone.
She wandered back down the line and picked up a small, silver bell with a red thread tied to it. Turning, Mameha set the tea cup down on a little table and looked closer at the bell.
