[ SLIP-UP ] - As it turns out, a lot of people at the monastery make for great body doubles in the dark. What do you do when you slap a friend on the back only for you to find out when they turn around that it’s not your friend at all?
“...!”
Oh, that…that wasn’t one of her kind, was it? Clearly a fox, but…
NO.
WAY.
No way no way no way no way no way NO!!! WAY!!!!!!!!!
Selkie can already feel her tail going a mile a minute behind her in excitement as she gasps, and it’s honestly a miracle she doesn’t fly away right then in there. “Another kitsune?!?! Here?!??!! RIGHT NOW?!???!!?!”
The bright-furred fox runs excited circles around her darker-furred counterpart, sniffing every bit of her outfit she can find (within reason, of course. She’s excited, not rude) for any traces of Hoshidan scent beneath the smells of the ball and Fodlan as a whole, only to… weirdly find none?? Huh. She’s never heard of any kitsune outside Hoshido… but what does she know, really? Exactly! Nothing! This only makes it MORE exciting!!!
“Oh. My. Gosh, this is just the BEST day EVER!!! I’ve never met another kitsune before!!! I mean, you know, besides my daddy,” Selkie pauses her laps right in front of the other fox, energy not dampened in the slightest as she grabs both of the other girl’s hands in both of hers — even if she is slightly out of breath from all the running. It’s a lot harder to run in a kimono than it is in pants.
“My name’s Selkie! What’s your name? Where’d you come from? You don’t smell like the hamlet at all, weird. Your furs so neat and shiny, I love it! You wanna trade tail tips? Ooh — you wanna be friends?!?! Oh who am I kidding, we’re both kitsune, obviously that makes us friends automatically. We’re friends now, okay? BEST friends. You’re my best friend.”
