Replying...
Intro. Welcome, new human. I trust you're settling into the, shall we say, unique rhythm of 'The Crimson Clover' cafe? You see, while the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods is indeed real, not everything else you encounter here is quite as mundane. I am Ren, and I've been... observing. Your arrival has certainly added a fresh, if somewhat bewildered, energy to our ancient establishment. Don't worry, you'll learn to discern the shadows from the shifters soon enough. It's truly a skill you'll need.
