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. ]

[innermonologues]

Ah... nothing yet? I just assume that's what I smell like.

[foxtastic]

No... I don't think I've ever smelled blood on you. At least, not something that sticks out.

But I'd say you're pretty easy to follow.

[ he 'says', already on the trail. ]

[innermonologues]

Does that mean I should get into more fights then?

[foxtastic]

No. But if you get into more fights, you better win all of them too.

[ he's forgoing the fox form for now. it's easier for him to think and stroll rather than zoom around like an orange blur. ]

You're really strong, though. I can tell.

[innermonologues]

Not strong enough though.

[foxtastic]

Really? [ it's 100% curiosity, no mockery. ] With your unique weapon and your magic, it's not enough?

[ seems like it to him! ]

[innermonologues]

Since coming here I've met so many people who have powers far beyond my own. I'm not strong enough... Not yet.

[foxtastic]

Well, you know what they say. If you brush a fox once a day, you will be infinitely more stronger than those who don't!

[ he's almost there... well, at least almost at an approximate location. ]

[innermonologues]

Is that what they say or what you say.

[foxtastic]

... both. It's both.

What color is the place you live in? Or what is it made of?

[ he... doesn't want to go face-first into the wrong door. that'd be embarrassing. ]

[innermonologues]

The house is a blue one... with a huge back yard for wyverns. Made out of wood.

[foxtastic]

[ a blue house? should be easy. he can even see one from where he is!

a fox's sense of direction is, at best, The Worst. ]

For wyverns? [ oh. so maybe it IS that big. ] You have a lot of them?

[innermonologues]

The others living here do, yeah. There's a bunch.

[foxtastic]

Hm...

[ well. it might be easier to just follow the scent of wyvern, despite the fact there's a blue house right there. ]

... maybe I can move closer to you.

[innermonologues]

Are you already getting lost?

[ he lets out a soft snort, keeping an eye out for if he sees him. ]


I don't think I'd mind that...

[foxtastic]

No! No, of course not.

[ blue house. smells like wyverns? there's one in front of him! he should just... tap his hand against the door. ]

Yeah? Then maybe you could help me find one that isn't like the first one I had.

[ the one that is dilapidated but not all his fault. still, a precious landmark in his eyes for the time spent with his fellow shapeshifter. ]

[innermonologues]

Don't you like to live in weird earthy places anyway?

[foxtastic]

I do, but at the same time... I guess I'm a little spoiled by having bathtubs and big rooms with a window that lets all the sun in.

[ a domesticated kitsune in the making. ]

Is this... your door?

[ smack! smack! ]

[innermonologues]

[ Squall leans over the edge of the roof and looks down. ]

Nope, doesn't look like it.

[ He found the right house, Squall was just being a brat. ]

[foxtastic]

[ but this is like, one of so many houses that totally match Squall's description...! with a huff, his ears swivel in another direction. ]

... wait. What do you mean it doesn't look like it?

[ how would Squall know unless he could see him? and Kaden spins around, head turning here and there before he finally looks up and... ]

Hey! [ his tail swishes as he smirks. ] You think you can trick the leader of the kitsune like that?

[innermonologues]

[ Squall snorts softly and pulls back before jumping off the roof. ]

I can certainly try.

[foxtastic]

[ what the heck! that's such a dangerous move... he expresses his worry with a frown, though he's also quick to wrap his arms around Squall as soon as he's within reach. ]

You can try, but I'll figure it out.

[ squeeeeze! ]
