FOX
Huffing out a breath of laughter, Fox nods to El. "It is a nice swim, when they're not around," he concedes. "I get calls sometimes to try and move them on from lakes and rivers where people fish. I try to corral them away, but they're a decent meal in themselves if you can catch them." Folding the bait away and replacing it in his bag, Fox rises to his feet and keeps his eyes mostly on the pack of sharks still churning the waters in the near distance.
Their flurry of questions has him taken aback, at first - not used to being social at the best of times, Fox ends up awkwardly ruffling a hand back through his hair, revealing for a moment the small, bony protrusions that count as his horns. "I didn't decide to, no," he says with a shake of his head. "I was actually just passing through on the way to town. But it didn't feel right to leave you without a warning..."
Hoisting his pack over his shoulder, he nods a friendly enough greeting. "I'm Fox," he introduces, and there's a joke to be made about animal names, if he were a more charming man. "I usually take jobs from farmers or others who are having trouble with monsters. They pay in food, supplies, sometimes a couple of valuables, that sort of thing."
