Fox thought she would grow into a strong and useful asset, and she did not like the idea of losing her to some deadbeat father. “You may wish to speak with Peregrine about your frequent visits. I know from experience that he dislikes visitors.” Especially those who piss on his borders, she thought. Then again, they had somehow managed to turn that around into an amiable... well, it certainly wasn't a friendship.

Ferdie took his leave, and Fox nodded a good-bye to him. She would soon follow suit, but she paused to allow Bones any last thoughts.
