[she's just going to sniff with her wolfy nose to try to get a good whiff of him. it's fine, just normal things.]

What are you, exactly? You don't look like a monster, but sometimes that's the worst kind.

[foxicide]

[it is very normal to sniff. he will even sniff back. he won't actually pick up on a lot since he doesn't have a wolfy nose, but still. rang smells like a regular dude who hasn't had a shower in a day (gross), though there's also a faint tang of blood? fairly old.]

Wow, [ylfa is right] maybe it's just a survival instinct? If I put my tails away, then I won't get humans running after me with their big hatchets just for looking different.

I'm the 'only a monster when I have to be' type, you know?

[honkinbigteeth]

I wouldn't worry so much about the hatchets. In my experience, the woodsman isn't very reliable.

[anyway, she's carrying his hatchet on her back.]

I guess that makes sense. Sort of a shapeshifter. I have to get close before I notice what big teeth you have.

[foxicide]

[he flashes her a smile]

And you're smart enough not to get too close, right? At least, not without hitting me with that axe first.

[honkinbigteeth]

I wouldn't say I'm that smart. Also, I'm not sure you're as tough as you're implying.

[foxicide]

Luckily for you, I'm smart enough not to rise to that bait.

[he's just also a big baby]

[honkinbigteeth]

Well, that's okay with me. We can get along, right?

[foxicide]

[hmmm]

I guess, since I don't dislike you. You're more interesting than most of the people here.

[honkinbigteeth]

[she doesn't actually have a tail but she looks like she'd be wagging it if she did.]

Interesting isn't bad. So what is your deal? I couldn't get a clear enough whiff. What kind of monster are you?

[foxicide]

[hilarious how rang is insane but he is soft for monster kids]

I'm a gumiho. Nine-tailed fox. There aren't many of us anymore. and we mostly stick to the same place, so I wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard of us.

[honkinbigteeth]

[awww.]

I've heard of foxes, but not you. It sounds like maybe a story from somewhere else, outside the Neverafter.

[foxicide]

There is one story about us that some people know... But only some. It's not popular compared to the classics.

[since ylfa has the red riding hood vibes, though he does not remember red riding hood being both the wolf and carrying the woodsman' axe.]

I could tell you if you're interested, but you'll have to tell me yours in exchange.

[honkinbigteeth]

Ooh! I love storytime. You've got yourself a deal!

[foxicide]

[he immediately smiles, rang loves deals, and he holds his hand out]

Shake on it?

[honkinbigteeth]

[the urge to make a deal makes her a bit nervous but. it's just telling her story, so she'll shake.]

[foxicide]

[ylfa.... the way this immediately brightens rang's mood,]

Humans are always breaking their promises to me, but you won't do the same, right?

[honkinbigteeth]

...The way you're putting this much emphasis on it is really making me think I should reconsider.

But yes, if you tell me your story I'll tell you mine!
