"Etho?"

Etho blinked, sticking his head out of his den to spot a very tiny Bdubs wandering about.

"Here." Etho responded, swishing his tail.

"I've been wandering for like an hour!" Bdubs complained as he turned towards Etho and walked over.

"What do you need?" Etho asked curiously, his fox ears twitching and his eyes tracking all of Bdubs's tiny movements.

Bdubs launched into a series of complaints, but Etho was having trouble paying attention to his friend's venting.

"You alright?" Bdubs asked after a minute.

"Instincts just a bit much today." Etho admitted, scooping Bdubs up in his hands and pulling him into the den, curling up around him.

"And I am very tasty," Bdubs declared, "I see your problem."

Etho snorted, giving in and licking his tiny friend, the itch of his instincts calming for a moment.

Bdubs nuzzled into Etho's palm.

The sight of his little mossy friend curled up in his hands was too much for Etho, he gave in with a pleased little chirp, gulping the tiny hermit down quickly.
