You enter a small and very dusty shop, that's somewhat dark and dry. No one is around, but you step up to the counter and ring the bell.
A man steps out of the backroom. He has large and luminous eyes. Pale eyes that stare. You shiver as he asks, "Ah...can I help you?" You mutter something under your breath, and he continues, "First wand is it?" You find your voice and say yes, as he leads you over to a table where he lays out a selection of wands all the time keeping a running dialog of all the wands he's ever sold.
