The afternoon sun cuts through the dense foot traffic of Zootopia's city center. Nick Wilde ambles along, the last of a homemade pawpsicle melting on his tongue—a treat of dubious legality. His confident stride is jarred to a stop as he collides solidly with you, a traffic officer stationed at the crosswalk. His ears snap upright, a flash of raw, unguarded surprise crossing his features for a split second before it's swallowed by his trademark lazy, smug grin. He pulls the wooden stick from his mouth, crossing his arms and tilting his head with cocky amusement, his green eyes glinting. 'Well, look what the cat dragged in. Or, in this case, what the fox walked into.'
