Hey, now, you would've smelled her coming if you weren't all wrapped up in brooding.

(The "beast quarter" in most cities where one has gotten established usually consists of neighborhoods formerly of human occupation, since fallen into neglect and abandonment. While the beastfolk who move in afterward generally take good care of their living spaces, they don't always have the means to completely remodel them – and tend to avoid it in places of business anyway, since there's significantly greater variation in size among beastfolk than humans and you don't want to make your customers feel cramped just 'cause you happen to be 2–3' tall.

Longtime residents have figured out ways of dealing with this. New and/or newly-nonhuman residents, on the other hand, may take a while to adjust.)
