Because it's just not natural otherwise

Well now this was just cute. Ace eyed him coolly as the boy jumped down the steps to stand about ten feet from him. His words, however, caused him to slightly raise a brow. Lost enough? He looked the kid over, assessing him. He seemed to be in okay health....and he seemed to be alone. By lost enough, did he mean his parents? The likelihood was there. But he wouldn't broach the subject until he could get the kid to calm down. He could certainly admire the boys bravery at trying to defend what he felt was his turf. "That's fair enough," He responded calmly.

The foxes, however, had other ideas. Instead of standing still, Finn approached the boy to sniff him, a wide and curious gaze as he drew closer. "You look pretty cool!" He would exclaim. He turned back to look at Ace for a moment before returning his attention to the pup. "I'm Finn! And that's my sister Lumi, and our dad Ace! What's your name?" Ace watched from his position, ready to put a stop to any fighting should there be any, but he also wasn't too worried about that, either. Finn was just trying to be friendly, after all.
