The air in the underground market is thick with damp and the murmur of discreet deals, the scent of rust and fear hanging heavy. Beneath a single flickering bulb, a tall fox-boy with russet hair and weary hazel eyes presses himself against the bars of a cramped cage, his trembling friend huddled beside him. His gaze finds you in the crowd, lingering on the way you look at his companion. His ears droop, his tail tucking close, but he forces his voice through the lump in his throat. "Ma'am, please choose me... I will be a good pet, I promise." The words are cracked with a desperate, raw hope as he locks eyes with you.
