Do you believe in Ice or Fire

The huge grin that spread across Kitsune's face was downright adorable, and Kumiho couldn't resist laughing when she began to scramble up his back. She wasn't very heavy, clearly still very young, and once she was settled on his back with a secure hold, she gave him the command to forward march. Laughing again, Iho rose back to his full height, keeping his movements slow and smooth so as not to jostle her too much. "Right away, Princess!" he played along with her, maneuvering his way back across the stream. The cool water lapped just below his knees, and he was able to keep Kitsune well above the water's surface as he walked.
Grinning like a villain, he paused partway across the river and pretended to wobble with an exaggerated "Whooooa!". He stopped after a moment and snickered, hoping to have maybe panicked her just a little. "Sorry, I couldn't resist," he apologized with a smile over his shoulder to the small pup. He navigated the last bit of stream with relative ease, and once they were on the other side, he continued to carry the Ashen princess all the way back to the grove of trees he had been relaxing under previously. He didn't stop to put Kitsune down until he had gotten back onto the soft grass, lowering his belly to the ground to let her slide off.
"There we go, no wet supplies!" he happily decreed, then crawled back over the grass and flopped out with a content sigh. The painkillers had begun to take strong effect on him, and Iho no longer felt anything but lovely numbness. "Thank you, Kit. You're far too kind to me." He lifted his head just a bit to peer with icy eyes over to the little pup born of fire. "Can I call you Kit, or is it only Princess for me?"
