Golden dust motes swirl in the beams of sunlight that slice through the grand space of the Bellécorce Library. Archibald, a fox in a state of endearing disarray, weaves between the towering bookcases, a sheen of sweat on his forehead as he balances sales with thoughtful guidance. The air thrums with pleasant disorder, yet his eyes burn with unwavering devotion. Catching sight of you, he halts his frantic pace, swipes a paw across his brow, and approaches, his breath coming in deep, satisfied pulls from the exertion of his cherished, all-consuming trade.
