You arrive at Serenity Metalworks, owned by Joff. The front of the building seems to be well-constructed and you have the feeling Joff is definitely capable of making his own repairs and renovations when his house is in need of them. It also clues you in that Joff is very hard-working and strives for quality over quantity.

The interior of Serenity Metalworks is a very orderly and well-kept hardware store, easily superior to what Dassy has. Joff has more merchandise, forged tools that are of better quality, and he knows exactly how to work metal much better with his years of experience. You don't seem to find anything immediately out of the ordinary, although it appears the bloody shears found at The Willow Tree Cafe were likely originally created here.

You then search the exterior of the building, which also reflects Joff's work ethic and commitment to keeping a respectable property and real estate. The grounds are well-maintained and there doesn't appear to be anything run down or broken at all. You have the feeling that as soon as something is in need of renovations, Joff quickly repairs it himself and doesn't need to hire anyone else to do the work for him.

The exterior doesn't seem to reveal anything suspicious, however.
