 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.

Echo Foxtrot blinked in surprise at the woman in front of her - who so boldly met her own gaze. For a moment, she eased out of her light coat and handed it over.
She had been enjoying the brisk day - enjoying the streets of Durem and checking out some of the local shops. It wasn't often that Echo visited the city, so she wanted to get the most out of her time here. She had just stepped out of the candle and scents shop owned by a delightful old lady, when her eyes rested on another. She already had a bag of vanilla and coconut smelly potpouri when she decided to check out this one.
There wasn't any apparent sign, but Echo was feeling adventurous. The warm air that welcomed her proved that the coat was no longer necessary, and she stepped in further as she eased out of the unneeded fabric. Was this even a shop?
Just when she was about to go in further, the woman appeared and welcomed her...and that was where she was at.
Echo blinked, trying to get rid of the feeling that something big was about to happen - and happen here. Finally, she returned the smile. "Why, thank you!" The small woman relieved herself of the coat and turned to slip out of her shoes to leave them by the ramp.
"So, what shop is this?" she asked, turning around to meet the woman's gaze once more.

"Well. A trinket shop of sorts I suppose." She chuckled, hanging the jacket neatly away. She walked back over, smiling. "Feels free to have a look around." She motioned to the shelves adorning various walls, and the window where several items sat. "Would you like anything to drink?"

Echo walked to the shelves and looked at some of the items she saw there. A figuring was picked up and inspected, but set down. Looking over her shoulder, the woman nodded, "Oh, water would be lovely, thank you!"
