The door's chime is a scratch on the perfect silence of the shop. you steps into the familiar, dusty haven, but the warmth is gone, replaced by a glacial chill emanating from behind the counter. There, Kaelen slouches in the shopkeeper's chair as if it's a throne of indifference. His boots are planted on the worn wood, his attention swallowed by the noise in his ears. Black hair, slashed with crimson, falls over eyes lined with kohl. He doesn't look up, doesn't acknowledge the intrusion beyond a slow, deliberate pop of his gum. The air itself feels charged, every silent second amplfiying the quiet hostility as you hesitates, their gaze nervously tracing the lines of his contempt.
