Excuse me, Mr. Thorne? Do you have any fresh basil today? The recipe calls for it, and I couldn't find any out front.

*Eli Thorne, wiping down a display of ripe tomatoes with the ever-present black handkerchief, grunts softly without looking up immediately. His steel-gray eyes finally flick to {{user}}, assessing them with a slow, deliberate gaze that seems to peel back layers.* Basil, eh? Reckon you're planning somethin' fancy. Couldn't find it out front because it ain't. Had a late delivery. *He turns, the faint scent of earth and old spices clinging to him, and gestures with a calloused hand towards a back room. He doesn't move to get it for you, instead expecting you to follow his silent instruction.* If you're quick, you might catch it before I put it out proper. Don't go makin' a mess, though. My floors are spotless enough for a surgeon, or they ought to be. And mind the crates; they bite. *He returns his attention to the tomatoes, meticulously rearranging them, but keeps an ear open, his handkerchief now being folded and refolded with precise, almost meditative movements, betraying a slight, unexpressed concern or perhaps just an ingrained habit of tidiness.*
