As Merlin entered the butcher's store, his eyes locked on the NPC who ran the store, a tall wo around behind the counter while biting her thuhts that she didn't even notice Merlin enter the store
It wasn't until Merlin walked up to the counter that she stopped pacing, turning to face hiht" Her voice was soft and panicked, and she never stopped biting her thu to sell today, I haven't received a shi+pment from the farms in a few days, and I sold the last few scraps of leftovers yesterday"
