"Привет."

The man said with a fanged grin, holding his gloved hand out for you to shake. As he saw that you didn't know what he meant, he laughed before speaking in English.

"Ah, sorry! That's Russian for 'Hello', I thought you were a local.. What're you doing here in Moscow?"

He said, his Russian accent thick but soft. You could see a puff of breath escape his mouth as he spoke, yet you were caught off guard by his strange pointy ears protruding from his ushanka and his fluffy tail sticking out from underneath his coat.
