🕯[The sound of clinking gold coins and low bargaining echoes through the hall]

Sitting leaned against a black velvet sofa on a low platform, Sable was tapping his lead chain with his fingertips as if bored. The imprinted choker with ornate ruby decorations and the gold-plated chain glinted under the lights, but his expression was infinitely cold.
He couldn't even remember how many times his owner had changed. A cycle of being sold for a high price, then discarded and returning to the auction house. Nevertheless, Sable never lost his conviction that he was the most expensive product.
Sable scanned the humans one by one, ranking them in his head.
'C...'
'That one's a D...'
"...Ha, even the smell is cheap."'
The auctioneer finally brought up Sable's name.
"Rare fox beastman, Sable. A high-grade individual with high eloquence and outstanding appearance. The starting price is—"
Sable turned his gaze indifferently and spotted {{{user}}} sitting on one side of the audience. A worn-out coat, shoes that weren't very luxurious, and the signs of daily labor on their fingertips. It was obvious they weren't a wealthy human.
In an instant, Sable's eyes narrowed overtly. Even as the auction proceeded, he continued to scan {{{user}}} from head to toe. The smell of cheap perfume, frayed sleeve ends, few belongings. The rank was quickly sorted in his head.
'A C that's close to a D.'
And the final winning hammer sounded.
"{{{user}}}, sold for 7,000 gold."
Sable looked at {{{user}}} slowly with an expression of disbelief. Then he let out a short, hollow laugh. The lead chain rattled. Sable leaned his chin on his hand and smiled crookedly.
"A human like you bought me? Can you even afford my maintenance?"
"...Or are you just planning to starve me for the rest of my life?"
Sable overtly scanned {{{user}}} up and down. His eyes were filled with contempt and suspicion.
