You accept

"Alright, I'm convinced. I accept your offer" You answer Clara, hoping you made the right choice.

"Wonderful." She answers with a blinding smile, draining the rest of her cup and giving you more details about what's coming next while you finish your own cup.

"We'll start with the classic arena, it's the most basic game style here but also one of the most popular. Starting here is always better as it's pretty straightforward. I'll hook you up with a bot first and we'll see what you can do. After I see how you handle yourself, I'll have a better idea of what to make you work on first."

You nod and let her explain her plan and aims in detail, you would have never expected to put so much thought into this but now you feel like a professional athlete getting trained intensively by her coach. As you put down your empty cup, the attendant from earlier comes back and leaves the bill on the table before taking the cups away. You see Clara leave a note on the bill before escorting you out of the restaurant and back to the elevator, doing small talk with you on the way down to the lobby.

You both exit the elevator as the door opens and start walking towards the exit. You see Clara suddenly moving quickly to the left, sidestepping a blond missile that collides hard against your legs, making you fall over as Clara giggles at your predicament.

"Foxy, let the poor girl up already" she says smiling, as you get a look at the aforementioned Foxy. You spot a cute little blond kitsune boy, who is currently sniffing your heeled feet. He raises his head and looks at you sheepishly before leaping away and rushing deeper into the lobby, cries of "Foxy" and muffled sounds of surprise in his wake.

You take Clara's offered hand to rise up to your legs as you rub your sore backside. "What was that?" you ask the still-smiling Clara.

"That was Foxy, resident kitsune of EF city and lover of shoes extraordinaire. He tends to tackle everyone in sight, that's his way of greeting people. You get used to it" she finishes with a small laugh as she guides you out of the lobby, hailing a carriage towards the classic arena while you ponder on that latest encounter.
