Well, this was certainly an unexpected turn of events. Spinelli stopped in his tracks, purse frozen mid-gesture as he took in the sight of the fox in front of him.

"A nine-tailed kitsune? Surely that is something only out of myth..." He murmured, then nodded to himself, a slightly rueful expression on his face. "But then again, there was that rather large and impressive dragon that was taking up a great deal of the room in the Obs deck upon the Jackal's arrival, so perhaps a most wise and noble fox is not so unexpected."

He lowered the purse slowly, so as not to alarm the vixen and bowed his head a little by way of apology. "Your pardon. The Jackal had not meant to cause any alarm with his precipitous arrival."
