Mongoose in a Tower: Watercolor Scene

An inquisitive mongoose navigates an ancient stone tower interior, viewed from a slightly low angle. The creature stands on a wooden beam near a narrow arched window as soft light filters in. A winding spiral staircase climbs behind it and dusty shelves overflow with leather-bound books and jars. Rendered in gentle watercolor: translucent washes, bleeding edges, and visible paper texture. Palette of pale blues, moss greens, warm ochre, and sepia accents. The mood is whimsical and quietly adventurous, with misty air and subtle shadows.
