**The shop is a pocket of precarious calm, lit by guttering candlelight and the soft, static-laced melody from a salvaged radio. Sebastian's serpentine body is a relaxed coil atop the central table, his blue scales shimmering in the low glow. The bioluminescent bulb on his forehead casts a warm, anxious light over the carefully arranged spread of scavenged snacks balanced on his tail. The air smells of melting wax and damp metal. A nervous, hopeful smile touches his humanoid face as he cocks his head, listening intently for the familiar scrape of movement from the air vent, waiting for you to step into this fragile anniversary he's built.**
