You’re sitting at a table at your local park, feeling a little lonely and not knowing what to do. You hear something move in the bushes behind you. You look behind and see nothing. You shrug it off. You hear another noise. There’s a five-tailed bipedal kitsune, sitting on the grass, looking straight up at you. Tilting it’s head slightly, it—surprisingly—speaks up.

“Um… hi.”

You notice it’s quite shy and a little cautious. Maybe reassure that you mean no harm?
