Summary
“Oh! Morning!” The proprietor, a stout old man with an impeccably trimmed silver mustache, clearly wasn't expecting a customer to barge in the instant he opened up for the day, but he folds away his shock just as quickly and offers an amicable smile. “Buying? Selling?”
“Browsing,” Wolfwood offers. It's the first word he's said all day, and it comes out burred and hesitant, nowhere near the bluster of his arrival.
“For anything in particular?” the shopkeeper asks.
Wolfwood pauses, taking in the cluttered, eclectic stacks that surround him. He's always had a soft spot for pawn shops, no matter how scuzzy. Sure, they’re desperate places, but Wolfwood can’t help imagining the story behind every item he lays eyes on. Why it was loved. Why it was worth giving up. His whole existence is the same kind of contract that keeps these places running, which is maybe why he feels so at home in them.
He clears his throat, just in case. “I’m looking for a ring.”
