"But of course," he says, standing and gathering his staff. He precedes her through the door and down the steps, waits patiently as she locks up the apartment, and then unlocks the shop.
The shop is pretty large - he marvels again that it's remained unclaimed, evidently for some time. There is dust and cobwebs on most surfaces, shrouding the corners, but the floor is strangely clear. Wondering at that, Corwin leans over and rests his fingers against the floorboards... they're warm, and there's a faint draft along them. He glances over at the wall; dust has gathered against the baseboards in a little heap, blown there by the draft. Curious...
He straightens up and looks around the room again. There are shelves and display cases scattered helter-skelter all over the place, without rhyme or reason. A long counter runs the far wall, like a bar - maybe it had been a bar, at one point, certainly stranger things had happened. He wanders over, boots tapping lightly along the floorboards, and runs his fingers along it. Where the dust is disturbed, the surface is polished - rowan, he thinks, or possibly ash. Both have good magical properties. He nods, almost despite himself.
"Very nice," he says quietly. There's a door to a back storage room, currently ajar; he walks over and peers through. More shelves, a work bench, another door - probably the back door to the building - and a trapdoor in a corner, presumably leading to the basement. Kneeling again, he sees that the source of the draft would be the trapodoor's corner.
Still, there's a strange feeling to the air... not menacing, per se, but... sad, like the building has been soaked in sorrow for so long it's become steeped into the boards. Corwin straightens again, brow furled. Maybe not even sadness, really... something like regret, or melancholy... He shakes his head and looks over at Tarna curiously, gauging her reaction to the shop.
