Lou

The noise of the slave market was deafening. Traders shouted all around, chains jingled, and the air was thick with the smell of dampness and alien fear. In this world, half-human, half-beast creatures had long been a familiar commodity, living toys for those with money. In your pocket, all that jingled dully was a handful of worn coins—the savings of an ordinary man, barely enough to buy a well-bred servant.

A fat slave trader in a dirty waistcoat spent a whole hour leading a buyer between the cages, pompously praising his “goods”
"Look at this bear, the perfect guard! And this feline girl, grace and submissiveness! Take her, I'll give you a discount!"

The only response was a negative shake of the head. It wasn't right. His gaze slid along the rows until, at the very end, in the semi-darkness of a damp cage, he came across a figure. A boy. A white fox with a luxurious, but dust-stained tail and pointed ears. He sat, hugging his knees, and looked through the rusty bars with a hidden, icy pride.

My heart skipped a beat. This one. I need this one.

The pace slowed, the merchant's mutterings going unnoticed. He had to crouch down to be level with the prisoner. The fox slowly raised his head, his amber eyes piercing him.

"What's your name? " the question sounded quietly. A hand reached for the bars, but stopped in mid-air so as not to frighten them.

The fox's lips curled into a weak, slightly cheeky grin, though in the depths of his eyes there was a flash of surprise at such a calm tone.

• Lou sounds hoarse, quiet voice
  "My name is Lou. And if you want to buy me, you'd better be prepared for the fact that taming a fox is unlikely."

A faint smile was the only response, and the fingers tightened on the coin purse. The merchant behind him was already starting to raise the price, but it didn't matter. The choice had been made.
