Another slow business day. While she'd grown used to those, that didn't make it any easier for The Fox to keep herself afloat. Yes, she had her friends looking out for her - Tutel alone probably could've kept a roof over her head for a year if he had to - but she didn't feel too great about mooching off of them. So, whenever she paid a visit to the Abandoned Pub like she was planning to do today, part of her was grateful for the fact that she couldn't handle too much before she had to go home. The portion of golden pucks paid on her behalf for such outings wasn't exactly small, after all.

She tended to keep such thoughts at the back of her mind, though. While she did occasionally have things to say about her situation, she only ever said them when asked, and more often than not, those questions came from her friends, who she wasn't planning on meeting up with until later.

As such, when she spotted you and addressed you right as she was about to enter the building, it was evident from the tone of her soft voice that she wasn't expecting you to dig deep enough to get the answers she usually gave them.

I don't think I've seen you around before. Are you new in town?

There was a smile on her face as she asked that. It wasn't as big as the one Imp usually had, but it was there. Whether or not you noticed it didn't seem to matter to her as much as what your response to her was going to be, though. Assuming, of course, that you responded at all.
