ProfetessaOscura she/her Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "The... foxes? There are foxes? Where?" He smiled. Baby animals were the perfect distraction from bad dreams. "The mother is gone. Probably pestering Mr. Sparrow's animals. They're in a small den, on the other side of this tree, a few feet down. They're sleeping. One just yawned. If you peek inside, you can see them."

Janice scrambled to the other side of the tree, glancing everywhere for them. "Where? I can't see them!" Quote Baby animals are, in fact, the perfect distraction from bad dreams.

I can't see them!" "Shh. Don't wake them." He stood and slowly, shakily, guided her down the grassy knoll a few more paces. Behind a twisted root, a hole delved straight into the side of the slope. It was dark, but about two feet back, a small foxlet rolled onto its back, stretching four scrawny legs over a fat, rotund belly. Its mouth opened in a gigantic yawn, and the tail folded over its body as it rolled back onto its side to snooze.

She whispered.

She whispered. Vespyr smiled, sitting on the edge of the slope. He didn't need to be near or even close to the hole to know exactly what she was looking at. "What happened?" he asked. Details would distract, but he knew he likely didn't need to do anything further to distract the child.

"There are five altogether," he said. "Most of them are towards the back. That one is a little more adventurous." He smiled to himself, leaning back in the grass. It was soft wintergrass, spongy and delicate. "They have tiny, quick little heartbeats, even when they sleep."

ProfetessaOscura she/her Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "Can I keep them? Can I name them?" "Not from their mother. They're wild things, foxes. You can name them and watch them grow. I wouldn't want you to get bitten by a protective mother. They're in a good environment for foxes. Perhaps Brother Sparrow will let me sacrifice a few fish to feed the foxes. I am not sure what his principals are, regarding carnivorous animals."

"Is it an orange one, then?" he asked. "There are a few colors foxes can be. Brown. Black. Red. Even blonde. I saw pictures once."

The fox's nose twitched, and the tiny creature's black eyes popped open. Its head swiveled, and it stared straight at Janice. The creature toddled a few steps toward her, then sank down onto its haunches. It released another enormous yawn, pointed ears trembling, fluff rippling along its tiny body, then closed its eyes, tucked into a tight little spring, tail swishing to curl around one side, then, unsatisfied, swishing the other way to curl around the next. After a moment... it lost its balance and toppled onto its back again, round belly jiggling as the tiny legs kicked at the air.

"She's so fluffy!"

"Careful not to get your scent too much on them. We don't want the mother moving the litter. She'll be fine." He found it funny how Janice immediately assumed everything was female, but he didn't question it. The sky started to drizzle. Everything looked greener, somehow more vibrant, with a little bit of rain. He swept off his odd half-cloak of tassels and shrouded Janice in it. "We should leave. The mother will be returning soon, and we should go back, too."

And if you plan on endangering your life and continuing your adventures with your friends, perhaps it is best that she live a normal fox life."

She smiled at the fox. "Seeya, Scarlie!"

"Seeya, Scarlie!" He lifted his brow. If he had eyes or eyebrows, he might have been raising them. "But if you stayed in a safe location and went to a local school and hid from, say... evil queens. Perhaps." He was of course, not letting this go very easily.

He guided her back toward the farmhouse, but... despite his words, he was still slow. Still shaky and weak, despite the nectar that burned in his veins.
