"Serendipity, you say? We will always circle back to that city, but the question is when? If the stars dictate that we head that way from here in Essyrn, I will let you know." She smiles, watching the boy enter the shop, following him inside.
The entrance of the Lyre showed off tall shelves lining either side of the wall, filled with all sorts of items and knick-knacks, haphazardly placed beside each other. Some items floated, some items were almost falling to the ground if someone made the mistake of bumping into its shelf. There were glowing things, and things that made tinkling noises, things flowing and rolling, but disorganized as it was, it certainly looked magical. The scent of flowery incense, pleasant to the nose, wafted around the shop, hinted with notes of spice.
"Yes, it certainly is! My husband made it a long, long time ago." Looking over at the object of Ewan's fascination, Khalia took the tag hooked around the bottle's neck. She smiles. "Though it's been in that shelf for so long, I forgot that it was there myself! But it feels like you unearthed a secret treasure, doesn't it-- Oh!" She pumped her fists in excitement, but froze to see the bottle falling down and crashing onto the floor. "Oh dear..." She taps her cheek, watching the floorboards absorb the shiny, golden liquid until all traces of it disappeared, but her face soon brightened up again. "This just means the floor has some dose of heroism too, doesn't it?"
Leaning down to meet Ewan at eye level, she grins widely. "Well, I mean! This shop also runs on a 'You break it, you buy it', policy, but since you don't have any money, we'll accept payment in other ways!" She nods. "You say you're a wizard, right? Maybe you can help us out here in the shop for a tiny bit!" She nods all the more, watching the golden vapors twirling. "Oh, look! Isn't this pretty?" She giggles, and manipulates the smoke with her fingers, making them dance around Ewan all the more.
"What's your name, by the way, little one?" Khalia was clearly having fun with drawing swirls with the smoke.
