[The door is open to a room. The walls are painted white, the window is open, letting in light, and there is a distinct lack of furniture aside from a single armchair in the center. On the chair is a baby fox, curled up and fast asleep. Every few seconds, his ears twitch and his left back leg kicks out - he's just having a dream.

Any noise in the room would probably wake him up.]

[...It's a baby fox. Gasp!

Sora here is going to check it out, quietly sneaking up to the chair.]

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[His ears stop twitching and he pulls his leg under him more comfortably, then opens his eyes to look up at Sora.]

[friendsarepower.livejournal.com]

[Aw. And Sora, in turn, will smile at the little fella.]

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[The male human is still little and seems friendly enough. Tod sits up, tilting his head to the left and staring up at Sora.]

[friendsarepower.livejournal.com]

[Aww. He'll go ahead and crouch down, tentatively holding out one of his hands.]

Hey there.

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[Oh! Tod leans forward, sniffing Sora's hand, then licks the tips of his fingers. Determined not to move from where he's sitting, he leans even further forward to push his head into Sora's hand.]

[friendsarepower.livejournal.com]

[Oh man. That licking gets some laughter out of Sora before he gives Tod some pettings. He's almost like a puppy!]

Could've sworn I replied to this...

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[Petting! Tod tries to lean into it, but ends up falling forward, little butt in the air, stomach on the seat of the chair. Clearly, he startled himself, though the position is somewhat comfortable.]

[After her run-in with the biggest sadist she's ever met a few days back, Desiree needs something cute. So here she comes in, creeping near-silently over to the chair to kneels beside it and smile at the adorable little fox.]

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[Tod opens one eye, then the other, looking up at her without otherwise moving for a moment. Then, lifting his head, he barks once.

If she spoke fox, it'd be something along the lines of 'Hello!']

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately, she can't speak fox, but she smiles nonetheless at the bark, holding a hand out so he can sniff it.]

Aren't you the cutest little thing?

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[He sniffs at her hand, barks again, then takes a seat on the chair, his tail wagging. Interpret barks at will.]

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[Desiree smiles and very carefully moves to scritch his ears, not having much to say at the moment.]

one day maybe I'll get a paid and then I can put a kitty icon on here

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[While Larxene is off doing something or other, her cat is exploring! And... he's not too thrilled to see a dirty canine in his dressing room.

Tybalt sits in front of the chair and growls.]

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[Tod sits up, frowning as best as a baby fox can. Did he do something wrong? Was this someone else's chair? Either way, the cat in front of him sure doesn't look happy.]

H-helloooo?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

You're a dog.

[Well, kind of. He doesn't smell totally like a dog. But Tybalt hasn't seen a fox before so it's his best guess.]

[bittything.livejournal.com]

I am not. [He crouches down on the chair, his tail wagging above his head.] I'm a fox!

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

You smell like dog.

[bittything.livejournal.com]

I played with a dog once, but then his owner said he couldn't play anymore. That wasn't too long ago.

But I'm not a dog.

[He pauses, staring at the cat.]

Do you want to play?

[cagedfox]

[Having never seen the actual animal he shares features with he'll creep over to have a proper sniff around.]

An Ienzo with fox features. Do cuter things exist?

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[The strange smell wakes him up before the new person does, but he has absolutely no idea what to make of it. It's not like anything he's smelled together before, not quite like that.

Stretching forward in the chair, he studies Ienzo curiously. Then, after a moment:]

Hi!

[Though he's not sure if he'll be understood or not...]

No idea.

[cagedfox]

[Unfortunately he can't understand at least, without adequate application of Disney magic, but he can mimic. Though, it might take a couple of tries since he's not used to using his vocal cords that way.]

Hi!

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[Tod'll just assume he was understood, because 'hi' seems like a perfectly reasonable reply to him, even if it did take a couple tries, and he's not going to put much thought behind it.]

So... What're you?

[Conflicting smells have successfully confused him.]

[cagedfox]

...What're you?

[Continuing the mimicry the conversation will probably quickly stop making sense but he hasn't thought of that and has no idea what he's actually saying.]

[bittything.livejournal.com]

Hey! I asked first!

[He doesn't realize he's just being copied just yet.]

I'm a fox. And I think you're sort of a fox, but also not really. 'Cause you smell different and the same all at once.

[cagedfox]

Hey! Asked first.
Fox. Sort of fox, not really smell different and same.

[Longer, more complicated sentences like that totally trip him up. Particularly since he has no practice in this and no grounding in the animal languages. Unfortunately it ended up fairly incoherent but at least with his tail wagging it can be determined he's friendly... right?]

Hi! [/derp]

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[He's starting to catch on. Something weird is definitely going on here. Tod frowns, sitting up and staring intently at his companion.]

That's what I just said... You're just repeating what I said!

[And he's not sure how he feels about this.]

You can talk, can't you?

[cagedfox]

[And he gives up, he can gather some things from the tone and expression, so he switches to human.]

Sorry, I can't really speak fox.

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[Tod doesn't understand human, though he can pick up basic, commonly used words and a couple phrases. He's also quite disappointed that his new friend doesn't actually speak his language.

But, quite quickly, none of that matters and Tod looks content once more, wagging his tail and looking at him.]

[cagedfox]

[...Tries scratching an ear, mostly out of curiosity of vary degrees of how much is Tod like him isn't it awesome when someone knows the right spots.]

[bittything.livejournal.com]

[That's a nice change from all the humans with their grabby-hands. He pushes his head more into Ienzo's hand. Ear-scratches are quite nice.]
