Ty, his exhaustion showcased by the sweat dripping from his head, managed a weak attempt at friendliness despite the weight of his tiredness. "Hey, I was just being friendly, but whatever, I guess," he said, stepping aside a bit, trying to ease the tension.
The woman with fox ears, taken aback, responded sharply. "First off, no one asked for you to be nice or sweat or anything like that. I don't even know you, and the first thing you do is ask me about my ears?!"
Ty, somewhat flustered by her reaction, attempted to clarify. "W-well, yeah, I've never seen someone with ears, unless those are fake or something. Then I guess that makes sense."
Her indignation was immediate. "EXCUSE ME?! THESE ARE NOT FAKE EARS, YOU PIN NEEDLE SIZE BRAIN!"
Trying to defuse the situation, Ty urged, "Ok, Ok, calm down. I've just never seen someone with fox ears, I think that is?"
