Then, she drew his attention to the ginger fluff-ball. He had been attempting to ignore it, refusing to believe that the woman may simply be carrying a fox-kit wherever she went, but it seemed that she'd be addressing it now. Faust, she had said.

He's—ahem—very handsome..! The boy nods. Uh, he... probably has the best mother? His words were intended to be a compliment to both Viskani and her son, but his tone came out sounding more akin to a question. A rueful expression flooded his eyes once again. So awkward.

Sorry. I mean it. He's beautiful..! Kraai nodded once more.
