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...

[foxtastic]

Show me when I get there, okay? I'll see if I can track you down first, though.

[innermonologues]

Can you even climb? How are you going to get up here?

[foxtastic]

... you can carry me!

[innermonologues]

Don't push your luck, fluffy.

[foxtastic]

Hey, I'm very light. You caught me once. You know I am.

[ all warm fluff, that is. ]

But I remember your scent. I'm sure it'll be easy tracking where you've been.

[innermonologues]

The scent of blood and sweat. Can't be that hard to find.

[foxtastic]

Blood?! Why blood! What did you do!

[ all of him perks up immediately in warning. ]
