[Elizabeth's POV]
Elizabeth noticed all these peculiarities inside the shop within few glances, her eyes moving across everything in that short moment, because as a person's rank increases, their level of existence improves, and with it, their ability to process and understand things also became faster and clearer.
Thus, for a brief moment she simply stood there, her gaze resting on man who remained in that careless sleeping posture, completely relaxed as if he truly had not noticed her presence at all.
Then, as the faint sound of the store entry bell slowly faded away over the next few seconds, the shopkeeper stirred.
The book resting over his face tilted slightly before his fingers caught it and lifted it away in a relaxed motion, and as the cover lowered, his face came into view beneath the warm light, his eyes opening lazily as though he had only been resting for a short while, and in the very next moment, those eyes met hers.
