Weird couple of.... are you sure nothing bad happened?

[ Squall looked a little worried now. ]

[foxtastic]

Of course! My fur was a little singed from the fire, and a crab almost got its pincers on me... but I'm fine.

[ and then with a nervous laugh: ]

Those didn't happen at the same time.

[innermonologues]

[ . . . . ]

What kind of chaos have you getting into without telling me?

[foxtastic]

[ with wide eyes, he cocks his head to the side. ]

Should I... tell you about everything I do?

[innermonologues]

When it seems it's getting you in harms way, yes.

[ Don't mind him, Kaden. He's just worried. ]

[foxtastic]

[ and now there's a blush, a faint bit of pink on those cheeks. ]

You know, I... it feels like there's always people coming and going. Do you live with anyone now, or...

[innermonologues]

I still live with Sora and his friends, though sometimes a friend of mine lets me stay over at his house.

[ There was a small pause. ]

Are you feeling lonely...?

[foxtastic]

A little. It's weird! I went from living with my people, to being in an army along with one other shapeshifter... my best friend... and now I'm here.

[ he taps his forehead with a brush. ]

It's an odd place to be in, isn't it?

[ not an answer, but it's the answer. ]

[innermonologues]

I'm not sure if there's any space in the house, but... you could probably move into the back yard if you wanted to.

[foxtastic]

The back yard?

[ he knows Squall cares. ]

How about I just... um... hang out with you a little more? Normally I return home after working a shift.

[innermonologues]

[ he figured backyard would be a good choice because it's all outdoorsy... ]

I would like that... if you have the time.

[foxtastic]

I'll always make time for you, Squall.

[ and if it came down to it, he would take the back yard in a heartbeat. but a kitsune has needs, and the bathtub is the best place. ]

I bet you're really good at brushing. Kind people are always good at it.

[innermonologues]

[ there was a long pause before Squall let out a long sigh. ]

Just this once. If you come over with a brush, I'll do it.

[foxtastic]

I always carry a brush on me. But you don't have brush me if you don't have to... I'm happy just being with you.

[innermonologues]

You better take the offer now, because you might not get it again.

[foxtastic]

Would you really deny a kitsune like me a brushing!

[ he puffs his cheeks out. ]

[innermonologues]

Depends on how fast he gets his furry butt over here.

[foxtastic]

Oh! Oh. Um. I mean, I can be there super fast.

[ fidget. fidget. ]

I'll have to grab the nicest brush I have...

[innermonologues]

[ there was a faint look of amusement on Squall's face. ]

You know where I live, right?

[foxtastic]

[ hm... he thinks... ]

It's probably not far from the ice cream shop, right? I can just kind of pad around until I find you.

[ that or bark a lot ]

[innermonologues]

I'm sure you'll be able to catch my scent... that's something you can do, right?

[foxtastic]

Yeah. I can. As long as you don't mind a fox butting his head against your door at the end of it.

[innermonologues]

I spend most nights on the roof so, that shouldn't be too difficult to spot.

[foxtastic]

Why on the roof? Do you have a great view, or...?

[innermonologues]

[ He shrugs a little. ]

Mmm.. I just like it up there. It's peaceful...
