"Ah- that may be for the best. Don't need it tryin' to lure you out now. The Forest... it wants the shards. To shatter, to imbibe... both, really. Power is power, and it wants more. Come along, I'll set up a bed for ya."

Heimr pulls back the door to the back rooms for Mizuki- and Mizuki will see a storage room full of... endless lumber and groceries. Clothes. Hunting and fishing gear, all lined up perfectly.

But then he gently guides the boy down a hallway that's lit with warm lights, up to a kitchen that... huh. From the size of the general store, there really shouldn't be room in here for this stuff. But Aldric doesn't stop there, himself.

No, he stops in a simple bedroom that's almost enitrely Coze and nothing else.

"You can rest here- this ain't... real windows, mind you. Just some illusions. ... Despite everything, I still love seein' trees. Just not the ones that are really outside."

It smells like the same teak wood and allspice and firewood that Heimr smells like.
