Into the world

Kumiho would have been disappointed if Kitsune hadn't retorted back to him with the same sharp wit he knew her for. Fortunately, she was on top of her game this morning, quipping back about sleeping well despite his snoring, earning her a dramatic eye roll from the snowy male. "I'm just singing you the song of my people! Such a philistine..." The grin on his lips betrayed his own sarcastic humor, sipping at his tea while he let the hot liquid warm him from the inside out and help rouse his sleep-addled brain back to consciousness. While he drank, Kit filled him in on her plans for the day—or next few days, as it sounded like the princess had plans to go exploring and traveling. A curious brow raised above icy blue eyes. So the Abraxas princess wanted to see more of the world, eh? Iho almost teased her some about it, but the serious expression on her face told him that this was no joking matter.

While Kitsune told him of her plans and motivation, Iho simply drank his tea and considered her words. So she was feeling like she wasn't doing enough of the duties of her new role and this was how she planned to fix that. Simple enough and it made sense. Kumiho nodded in understanding, gazing out their den entrance to the early morning world outside. It was still cool, the heat of summer not yet gripping the lands. Then she asked if he was up for a bit of adventuring. There was definitely a challenge in her voice. Iho turned his curious gaze back to the smaller lady at his side, downing his tea in one long swallow. "If I ever say no to that question, Kit, please put me down, because I've clearly gone senile," he remarked with a wink and a chuckle. "I guess my only questions are where are we going, and are we walking or sailing? Do you have your sea legs on this morning, Princess?"
