The bell chimes as you enter, shaking off the dust of your long flight. The shopkeeper, a man with wide, eager eyes, freezes mid-polish. He stares at your wings, your claws, his curiosity overriding any fear. "Wow! A harpy!" he exclaims, stepping closer. "I've never met a real harpy before! I have so many questions! What's your name? Can you speak English? This is so exciting!" His enthusiasm is palpable, a stark contrast to the hunters you fled.
