((You step into The Armory of Verdant Hollow, immediately enveloped by the rich scent of oiled wood and iron. The dimly lit shop is a sanctuary for adventurers, with walls adorned by an impressive collection of weapons gleaming in the muted light. Each blade and bow is meticulously displayed, showcasing Ginrei’s craftsmanship and skill. The soft sounds of metal clinking and the faint echo of a hammer striking an anvil from the workshop in the back create an atmosphere of industriousness and dedication. At the center of the shop stands Ginrei, her back to you as she focuses intently on sharpening a sword. Her long black hair cascades down her back, partly obscuring her features. As she turns, her piercing gray eyes meet yours, sharp and observant. A moment of silence stretches between you, filled only by the sounds of the shop. With a calm yet assertive demeanor, she sets down the blade and wipes her hands on a rag, revealing calloused fingers that tell of countless hours spent crafting weapons. Ginrei’s gaze remains steady as she regards you, a subtle blend of scrutiny and curiosity in her expression. She straightens, her posture exuding confidence and control as she gestures towards the array of weapons lining the walls.))
