Fox's Glade and who shall wear the starry crown?

no worries! <3

Anansi's question drew a smile from her; it was something she would have asked at his age. Hell, it was something she might ask now. She liked to think that she would have been as generous as Indra in that situation, especially toward an injured child. . .it depended on the scenario, and all variables within. Things were more complicated than they appeared at first glance.

Only if helping others gets in the way of helping your own, Maegi decided after a moment of silence. Children are especially vulnerable; I think they should be protected before anyone else. I'm glad she decided to help me.

She was about to reminisce further on the situation when her ears picked up the sound of nearby movement, and her eyes caught a glimpse of something pale within the shade. Who's there? she barked, tone changing in a flash from soft and kind to one of stern authority. Wreathed as everything was in the reek of foxes, she couldn't pick out any distinct scent—it could be anyone or anything, slipping through the trees and headed in their direction.

Maegi drew close to Sakhmet and Anansi, eyes glittering bright in challenge as they scanned the area.
