The woman and her fennec had been distantly noted. Distant, as everything was, because he was rather stuck in his own thoughts and stresses as he worked. She did get a nod, at least. He knew she was there and he didn't want to be an ass, but he wanted to just work and distract himself.

That was working fine until Purrelden climbed out of his belt pouch and started stalking the fennec. They got the warning of a hiss before she was leaping, which lead to Anders leaping to try to get her off the smaller animal as claws flailed around.
