Beware the bored fox

Ulric watched the fox he was speaking to with a bit of novel amusement. Never in his life would he imagine that he'd stop to have a full conversation with a fox, but even more than that - he was actually a bit charmed by the clever creature. He was very talkative and surprisingly well spoken. He was flattered by the fox's compliments of how he well he would fit the role of an alpha even though he had to question how many alphas this fox had really met to make him think such a thing. When the fox spoke of a place that would fit his desires he had to wonder what that place would be like - especially since this place had been eliminated as a possibility. He couldn't imagine this place being a preferred haunt for many creatures, but apparently smaller prey was bountiful here according to his amusing new acquaintance. He didn't think that the amount of available prey made up for the creepy atmosphere and it seemed like they were in agreement on that fact. He gave the fox a surprised look when he offered to help guide him through and he was quick to agree with a nod of his head. "Absolutely, I'd appreciate that greatly," he responded without a second thought. "If you could just point out where the clear spaces are ahead that would be a huge help." He realized all of the sudden that in all their chatter they still hadn't exchanged names so he had no idea what to call him by. Did foxes even take names? He had to assume so - surely they at least called each other by something. "Oh, I'm Ulric, by the way. What can I call you?" |
