Darker.
It felt darker. By no means had Grand Palais ever been a 'welcoming' area of the village, but after losing her ability to control most of her chakra, Grand Palais felt far more hostile to her than she remembered it being. The exiled Kitsune hated it here. But, her recent situations have caused her to come here. This time, in search of something she desired. Needed.
A cheap cloak she had acquired covered her features, mainly her ears which were flat against her head. Her tails were always difficult to conceal, but so long as she kept a good pace the movement of her cloak made them....less obvious, somewhat. Of course, that was the whole reason Azusa came here during the night; to keep out of sight. Taking back roads and such until she arrived at her destination; a heavily fortified doorway in an otherwise unnotable, dirty alley way. The devilish woman Azusa now worked for had shown her this...spot. And now Azusa was speaking to someone with a much deeper voice through a small window opening, as she held out one of the trinkets she had looted from her shrine.
"...W-well?!? It is good enough, yes? O-of course it should be fine..." "Another decoration huh? Ah well, the gold in it my be worth something. Take'yer turn." The man tossed a small box toward the shrouded girl, Azusa hastily moving to catch her prize and in the process of her movements, her hood off slid off to expose her ears. "*snort* Freak. See ya next week." The man sneered, shutting the metallic door to the alley with the sound of bolts locking into place. Azusa had no time to counter, but frankly, her witty remarks were abit dulled by the environment putting her on edge. "Freak...me? Haa..." With a heavy sigh, she clutched the box to her chest, adjusted her hood, and scurried down the alleyway, with the occasional glance to see if she were being followed.
