I don't wish to keep you in joining limbo any longer, so I'm going to go ahead and skip the other peeps.

Fox rarely looked for one specific answer to the question. Instead, she sought to see how they would respond to it. As long as they were honest, that was really all the yearling leader was looking for. A sign that they had (at least) half a brain and were willing to show it. Thus far, everybody had answered vastly differently, and she was keen to note that their answers were important in some way or another. The answer often revealed much more than what might have transpired if she had simply asked them what they were good at.

After a quiet hmmmm, Fox flicked her tail and nodded. “Very well,” she replied, stepping forward to mark him as her own with a rub of her body against his. “See to it that you get acquainted with your new comrades.” They would become his family, and he, theirs. That is, if he stuck around long enough. Those who were loyal were rewarded, and Fox had a good feeling about this one. It did help, of course, that he had the potential to make fine children, and she did not hesitate to let her gaze linger upon him. “In fact… you can start with me. What do you say we do a perimeter check? It will be a good way for you to learn the lay of the land.”

We can fade out with your next post if you'd like. :)
