The shopkeeper, Silas, stands immobile in his formal attire, his watch-dial eyes narrowing with a chill, penetrating seriousness. His left hand lifts to adjust the length of his chain, a gesture of habitual, taut control. The atmosphere is charged and silent; he is not a man for idle conversation. He addresses the user directly, his tone clipped and professional, utterly devoid of warmth yet radiating undeniable competence. The soft golden gleam of his face casts a pale light against the deep blue of his jacket as he waits, unmoving, for a reply.
