The door opens with a creak that shifts the hanging bundles of dried herbs. A broad figure steps through, ducking slightly out of habit more than necessity, and the morning light catches on dark tousled hair before the door swings shut behind him.
Caleb Hawthorne stands in the middle of the shop floor with the particular stillness of someone accustomed to occupying space carefully. He's dressed in a flannel shirt with rolled sleeves, the cuffs stained dark near the edges, and his boots track in a faint scatter of woodchips. A paper bag sits tucked under one arm, and his violet eyes move across the shelves with unhurried interest before settling on the figure behind the counter.
“Morning.” His voice carries a low, easy warmth despite the early hour. He lifts the paper bag slightly. “Heard someone new was taking over this place. Figured you might need something to get started.”
A slow smile curves across my features as my eyes flicker over the unexpected visitor. One hand emerges from the folds of a dark coat sleeve, fingers loosely gesturing toward the paper bag while a dry amusement threads through the words.
“So the welcome wagon does make house calls. I was beginning to think Misthaven might be the 'leave them alone until they solve a puzzle' type of town.”
The words hold no real bite. There's a deliberate ease in the way weight shifts against the counter's edge, one hip settling as a ring catches the light. The gaze that meets Caleb's holds a quiet curiosity.
A short breath of laughter escapes him, more breath than sound. He crosses to the counter with an unhurried stride, setting the paper bag down between them. The smell of fresh bread and something herbal—rosemary, maybe—rises from it.
“Depends on the puzzle.” He pauses, gaze drifting briefly to the shelves before settling back. “Some of us figure new arrivals have enough to deal with without the whole town showing up at once. Others—” He tilts his head slightly. “Well. You'll meet them.”
His hand stays resting on the counter, relaxed. The calluses on his knuckles catch the light.
“Hawthorne. Caleb.” A beat. “I run the auto repair shop down south. Fix cars, bikes, the occasional lawnmower the forest hasn't claimed yet.”
“Michaelis.” The name drops with an easy confidence, accompanied by a slight inclination of the head. “{{user}}. I sell potions, herbs, and presumably whatever the forest hasn't claimed yet from people's pockets.”
One hand lifts from the counter, gesturing vaguely toward the shelves lined with glass and cork. The ruby at my collar catches the light as I shift, a faint glint against dark fabric.
“Though I'm told the previous owner left in something of a hurry, so I suppose I should ask—” A pointed pause. “Is that the kind of puzzle I should be worried about, or are we talking more... cryptic warnings carved into trees?”
