Swiftcurrent Creek kiss the night goodbye

Last post for me! Thanks for the thread, and welcome aboard!

Fox waited, albeit impatiently, as Bazi egged him on. It seemed she had been made the fool by him, and Fox wondered if the Beta would have a sharp word with him later, as well. It was a good thing for Galileo that he decided to reveal what he had been hiding, and Fox listened with open ears (although nobody would say she did anything with an open mind). The queen of Swiftcurrent was anything but empathetic (especially when it came to things that did not immediately make sense to her). She believed him when he said this girl had cast him aside, but it did nothing to make Fox pity him or feel for him.

“She sounds like a real bitch,” Fox replied in a flat tone. “I can assure you we do not base anything here so heavily on bloodline. In fact, our current lot is bound only by loyalty and honor, not by blood.” While Fox could understand blood relations, and she knew that she would love her offspring fiercely, blood was not the end-all, be-all. There were far too many other factors at play. Galileo had played his cards right, sans the short secretive bit, and Fox was pleased.

The young red girl stepped forward without warning to rub her shoulder against his, marking him and silently accepting him into their ranks. “Bazi will see to it that you get settled in,” Fox said, flashing the fluffy white girl a look of approval for her recruitment efforts. With the vetting process complete, and other things on her mind, Fox departed, leaving Bazi and Galileo to themselves.
