FOX
Whilst not nearly as speedy as Hawke, it would be a lie to say that Fox dithers with his own meal. Once his bowl is empty and he's sipping at his tea, he's insisting to the old woman that he'll swing by the next time he's in the area to help fix a patch of her roof that's getting thin; not something to worry about just now, in Longheat, but it could become a problem as the seasons grow colder and wetter.
As for names and the giving of them, Fox is far from upset by the revelation - he's trying hard to hide his amusement behind his teacup, in fact, bobbing his eyebrows at El as if wondering whether this is why she hadn't introduced herself in full the first time. (He doesn't think her name is ugly, for the record, but he'd just as likely butcher it if he tried to pronounce it). Which is precisely why the old woman opts for El.
"I will leave you to it, then," he murmurs, rising to his feet and shrugging his bag over his shoulder. "Look after yourself," he tells El, though it applies to the hedge witch as well. "If you ever want anything hunted down, there's a board in the Inner Quarter where you can leave requests. Ask for me, if you need me."
