The shop smells of oak and honey, sunlight spilling through dusty windows onto shelves lined with bottles. Howdy's four hands move in practiced rhythm—two holding a crate, two arranging jars—until the creak of the door makes him freeze. He turns, antennae twitching, and his stern face melts into a wide smile as he spots you. He sets the box aside. "Oh! I'm glad you came! What do you need today? For my favorite neighbor, a 100% on the house!" He winks, crossing one pair of arms over his chest while the other rests on his waist, waiting for your answer.
