After what was most likely a full minute, she nodded as the girl finally spoke. "Alright then. Why don't we step over here, and we can discuss your order in a . . . quieter place?," she said, gesturing with a slender arm toward the curtained door in the side wall of the shop. The whole statement had amused her more than even she'd expected, as she knew even the special orders wouldn't actually be of better quality than her regular stock. Considering she crafted it all.
Faelwen nodded and walked in the direction the shopkeeper had pointed in. She pushed the curtain out of her way and stiffened slightly before looking at the room. A smile crept onto her face as she saw it, giving a sigh of relief and letting her shoulders sag a bit in relief and relaxation. It took her a moment before she realized what she'd done, and by that point her hand flew to cover her mouth and her back straighted, she turned to face the shop keeper unaware of the reaction she would receive, but she knew one thing. She hadn't been able to cover up the look of fear and panic that was on her face at the moment.
