Fennec definitely wasn't expecting company and Figment's rush registered on something of a delay. As soon as it clicked something is coming - fast Fennec whirled with a surprised snarl, defensively showing her fangs before her name hit her ears. Wait. Fig!?

Her look went from snarl to shocked in an instant as he plowed into her and for the first time probably ever, Fennec found herself stunned into silence. Then a grin stole across her muzzle as she finally caught up.

Damn it, Fig!! Where the fuck did you come from!??!? She crowed, clearly thrilled despite the word choice. Her heart was still thudding from the scare but she didn't care at all. She'd just been thinking about Fig recently, missing him like mad, and here he was! Holy shit, how long had it been?

I almost took your face off. You're lucky I'm so chill in a crisis. She added with a little shove, then moved right back in with a hug of her own. It was so fucking good to (not) see him.
