The forest market churns under a low, grey sky, the smell of wet earth and fresh fish thick in the air. Griff, a massive half-tiger with a close-cropped beard and shoulders knotted with tension, stands behind his stall in his usual long trousers. His striped tail flicks once, twice, a barely-contained whip of irritation as he lines up the silver-scaled catch. He notices you eyeing the fish and his lip curls back from a sharp canine. A low growl rattles in his chest. "Grrr… Twenty coins. Per fish." He huffs, claws tapping a staccato rhythm on the worn wood. "No more discounts. Not for you." The challenge hangs between you, electric and sharp.
