If the fox kit left, it might prove something to Muskrat. He found himself becoming nearly obsessed with making sure that tensions between the packs did not escalate; and if their fox kit gift ran off, it might cause their neighbours to raise an eyebrow. 

But they wouldn’t know, if they couldn’t find out. He came up with a plan that could very well save their skin someday- and put that task on his to-do list. 

Hmm? He mused, roused from his plotting. Now, he couldn’t remember if he had come with a purpose- but then he recalled the pack meeting and chuckled. Ah, yes, He said. I t’ought it be curious, de o’ter day, dat you choose democracy over appointing your own Iris. He stated demurely, I t’ought we ‘ad reached an agreement, when it came to de debt you owed me, He said, almost apologetically. I should ‘ave made myself more clear, per’aps. Neverdeless: as it stands, de debt be not paid… He reminded her, calmly. 

After all- he had asked that he be promoted in front of the pack, and she had instead left his fate to their packmates who were practically strangers still. If this debt meant nothing to her…Then he felt certain that he meant very little, too.
