[Riverside Briefing]
The fox Awen is holding is, in fact, a bog-standard red fox and not a black fox. I mean, sure, it could be an illusion (she is a witch after all) but what possible motive could a fox have to mess with a cat?
Speaking of, her fox starts wriggling in her arms, trying to twist around and burrow its nose into the folds of her clothes. Probably looking to see if she had brought food or mice or something along for him. "No, Reynard, there's -" she says in a forced (and somewhat harsh) whisper. "Reynard" must be a common name for foxes, like Mary or John. "Stop, there's nothing there."
Awen lets the fox drop to the ground. "No, you listen." She scolds the fox. "If you're not going to take demons seriously, you should just stay here."
Reynard stares up at her, not leaving. She glares back, until...Hmph. The witch gives up, rolls her eyes, and then turns her attention into her purse. She starts to organize the potions and poisons she originally just haphazardly threw in there.
