fox trot

CH4. Conversation

Fox kit .POV.

"Kyuun"

(Lets do this)

"Kyuunn?"

(Do what?)

I turned my head quickly in the direction of the other voice, my mother.

"Eh?"

My confusion must have been obvious because she asked again.

"What are you going to do?"

She seemed just as confused as I was, her head was cocked to one side and her ears were positioned curiously as she waited for my reply.

"Uh, sleep?"

I answered her question but she only looked more interested, getting up from her haunches she walked over and set herself down beside me.

"Your quite strange, how are you able to talk? Other kits can't talk until their at least half way to maturity"

She scuffled towards me a little, I couldn't answer her, more like I didn't know the answer either, she's my mother in this life I should give her some sort of answer at least, right?

"I don't know"

I placed my head on the ground keeping my eyes on mother, my reply only made her more confused as she cocked her head in the other direction half closing her eyes muttering something under her breath.

"that's strange"

Before also placing her head on the ground closing her eyes fully and going to sleep. I suppose I should sleep as well, I'll think about it some more tomorrow.

~the next day~

When I woke up mother was giving one of my brothers a bath, from the look of my fur she had cleaned me while I was asleep, I wobble over to my sisters who were play fighting and making cute sounds as they jumped on one another.

I decided to join in it was pretty fun playing with them. Mother walked over as we played and gently pawed me to get my attention.

"Im bringing some of my friends over today, I want them to see how smart my son is"

She said this in a happy tone of voice, I could tell she was exited. In contrast to my mother excitement I was worried, if I was still human I would have been cursed at and seen as a demon if I spoke while I was so young, I'd be lucky if they didn't kill me. I didn't know how they would react to me, what if they think i'm a monster? Will they attack me?

Questions like these filled my head, I started to cower with my tail in-between my legs, mother noticed my distress and licked my forehead.

"They will love you I'm sure, keep an eye on your brothers and sisters while I'm gone, I won't be long"

Her soft voice was calming, I nodded in response as she headed to wards the entrance of the burrow.

Mother came back not to long after with three others behind her, with four fully grown foxes and six kits, lets just say it was very cramped in the tiny burrow.

The three foxes stared awkwardly at me.

"So this is him?"

Stated the smallest one, mother laughed nervously and nudged me from behind, she whispered.

"Don't be shy"

Alright I'll just greet them, just a simple greeting, I bowed my head and closed my eyes.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you"

I stayed in my bowed position too scared to look up, the odd silence was suffocating.

"WHOA, he's AMAZING!"

"So respectful, what a brilliant child!"

"He's fluent, yet so young!"

They all burst out praising me like I had just been awarded best fox in the world or something, their sudden outburst startled both me and my siblings behind me, who were still to young to understand what was going on.

Mother stood tall and puffed out her chest proudly.

'What?'
