With a quick grin, Ureck thanked Sherani again before heading back towards the entrance of the bar. As he walked around Sherani, however, he almost tripped over the fox he had seen earlier, who had apparently finished his meal and was now sniffing around the alleyway curiously.<br/><br/>"Oh I'm sorry," Ureck replied, his current good mood causing him to chuckle a bit.
