Adventure awaits!

Here, however, Pawbert couldn't help but feel oddly safe to speak around the other mammal. Maybe the reason lay in the way the seemingly younger fox spoke to him in such a straightforward manner without coming off as cruel, much unlike the lynx's immediate family. Or maybe just that open and casual body language that promised no malintent.

In any case, Pawbert shrugged, deciding to take a risk. "Not to socialize if that's what ya mean - at least not often. I usually go out to do errands for my family. Ya know, basic kind of stuff."

Bellum gave a soft grunt, it sounded a mix of contemplative and understanding.

"Errands are necessary though." He paused, looking at the Lynx's dress. Experience came in here. He knew about rich stuff, and this guy looked to be doing okay. And normally rich people had valets to do things for them. Or Gentleman's gentleman so to speak. Others called them butlers.

Bellum paused before speaking his mind.

"But you don't look like the sort that'd need to do that on your own. Well off enough to get whatever expensive but cheaply made brand that is." He offered.

He was stating more of an opinion then a fact. To him those clothes looked... Meh, but they were designer clothes. That usually meant low effort, but high prices for the brand itself.

Bellum wasn't being cruel. He was stating observations.

He narrowed his eyes a little, but not in anger or suspicion, but more in further observation.

Even though he had a strong hunch he'd still left that impression on the other mammal.

"W-Well," Pawbert stammered at first. He made sure to keep both hands behind his back to ensure the stranger couldn't see him wringing them. "The errands are a good excuse to get outside, heh. As for the clothes, I tend to prioritize whether they're comfy or not."

The lynx winced at himself. Why did he feel like he had to justify himself, let alone his fashion sense? He really was reading too much into this conversation.

Hence his immense relief when the fox offered give him a closer look at the car they'd been talking about. Pawbert did his best not to come off as too excited.

With that laat question in mind, Bellum gave an easy smirk.

"Depends. Do you like engines, or the inside of the car itself?" He asked.
