(OTA) Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but...
[A.]
When looking to buy or sell an unusual item, Kunstkammer is a small, but well respected shop that specializes in ephemera and curiosities. The lights are dimmed to protect the colours of the more delicate pieces, but should one wind their way through the somewhat maze-like cabinets and cases, they will likely find their way to a desk, a few chairs, and a circle of warm lighting. The proprietor, Lan, is most often found here reading or cataloging some new, strange find. She is a petite fae woman with smooth pale pink skin pebbled over with small scales more like a ray than a snake.
Of course, there is a back-of-shop filled with items of a more usual, occasionally salacious or dangerous nature. Should anyone have an interest, Lan is just as happy to sell or trade any piece from her collection. She has a particular weakness for anything that she classifies as 'beautiful', but her definition may not match the standard.
(Or you can continue from the TDM over here.)
[B.] Lan isn't one to be caught out on public transit, not when it's just as easy to slip slideways and walk along a more interesting shortcut. That isn't to say that she's not often seen out and about: there's always a gallery opening, a curious tasting menu, or some flavour of performance that's worth taking in. While she may be Seelie, she's more likely to be spotted at night and she certainly does nothing to hide who or what she is.

B!
Being the all-around party!wolf that he is, he's managed to sniff out the free wine first and the ear of the artist second, but as many people are hoping to get the artist's ear for a moment, he graciously steps away after a congratulations as the exchanging of contact information. It turns out that she's a fan of his, as well, and he promises to grab coffee with her in the coming weeks before heading back for another free glass of wine.
As he steps away with his newly-filled glass, he runs his fingers through his stringy, bright hair and almost elbows Lan with the hand holding the glass. "Shit. Sorry!"
Re: B!
"Apology accepted and it's nothing to fret about. No harm done, you see?" Lan isn't overly put out by a knock or two, and this wasn't even bad enough to make her spill her drink. Her hosts know her well enough to make sure that while everyone else can have the wine, she's going to avail herself of a glass of thick cream.
There are plenty of things that can and do upset Lan and put her into a proper fae-snit, but an apology freely given isn't one of them.

"I've been on the continent for some time and it's a pleasure to meet you, Party. I'm called Lan." The patch of skin at the base of her throat ripples and swirls with colour and pattern in time with her speech.

"Wine's real good." It's unlikely that anyone with taste or opinions on wine would agree with him, but he's really a drink-to-get-drunk sort of guy, anyway, and he's definitely getting drunk.
