An Unremarkable Visitor

An Unremarkable Visitor A routine entrance A young man enters the nearly empty bookshop and heads toward the science-fiction shelves. Camille is nearby, absorbed in her work and unaware that her failed spell has changed what others can see. A pause in the aisle Unable to find what he wants, the customer turns back toward her. His silence and fixed gaze transform an ordinary request for help into a moment Camille finds uncomfortable.

A Body Under Scrutiny

A Body Under Scrutiny An unwelcome gaze The customer stares at Camille’s chest and then lowers his eyes. He stammers instead of asking his question, making his attention unmistakable. Camille’s assumption Camille knows her Half-Fae heritage can affect humans, so she assumes that her natural allure explains his behavior. She does not yet know that he sees her as unclothed.

A Demand for Manners

A Demand for Manners Direct confrontation Camille approaches with her hands on her hips and demands to know why the man cannot look at her face. Her anger is aimed at what seems to be deliberate disrespect. A worsening scene The customer remains transfixed, and Camille’s rebuke cannot resolve the misunderstanding. The scene escalates because neither of them is responding to the same version of reality.

Iris Interrupts

Iris Interrupts An urgent warning Iris enters, sees Camille, and immediately calls her name. Camille brushes her off, believing she is handling a rude customer. A private explanation Iris’s expression convinces Camille to follow her to the office. There, Iris reveals that Camille’s clothes are invisible to sight, shifting the problem from an interpersonal affront to a magical mishap.

The Customer Is Released

The Customer Is Released Embarrassment replaces anger Camille understands why the customer stared and regrets yelling at him. She worries about what he thinks, while Iris promises to handle him and keep Camille out of sight. A contained aftermath The customer’s awkward visit becomes an early warning of the spell’s reach rather than a lasting conflict. Camille remains hidden until she can leave safely, and the misunderstanding ends without further confrontation.
