A deep and sinister aura falls around as you sit on a chair, dropping your head... aimlessly staring at the ground. Your companions materialize around you,
"Milord, you might want to call your Night Operation off. Your health is at a decline." the Hound confesses.
"You two still don't get it... those people are all I have left in this forsaken World." you express anxiously.
The Spirits share a confused look between themselves,
"We understand your worry Milord, we shall complete your objective." the Daemon says.
As your Spirits vanish slowly, you take a gaze onto the Living Room.
Katya's Daughters are sleeping tightly, their Mother looks interested in a Magzine she reads. Not bothered by past events, that is the correct way to live life.
Katie walks up to you, she lifts your left arm up and takes a seat on your lap.
"Do you like having one of your Girlfriends in your lap?~" she teases.
"I do Katie, I do." you respond, digging your face into her chest.
"Oi, Owner... these are not a Pillow for your head. But... I could let you rest your head on them when you feel down." she says, gently stroking your back.
"Thank you, Katie, how are Kally and her Daughters?" you ask, in a relaxed tone.
"They are fine Owner, they are asleep. The Rain hasn't stopped either, I am glad that nothing happened to you~" Katie says, giving you a kiss on the head.
"Nothing ever will Katie, thanks to you two Fluffy Foxes." you tease her.
"Oi~ Owner~, you know we'll get you back for all this teasing, right?" she adds.
"I know, I can't wait to see what you'll do." you say, taking a deep breath.
Katie's gentle Heartbeat is truly soothing, just like the one heartbeat you've forgotten the rithm of.
The one that should've supported you throughout life, all these things... don't matter anymore. Because you have your Girlfriends.
"Do you like my Breasts Owner~?" Katie asks, carrying sarcasm in her voice.
"I do, their soft and quite large for your age." you tease on.
" *giggle* Did you know that Foxes mature faster and are much better mothers then Humans?" Katie leads on.
"No, but that is good to know. I am truly happy that my children will be loved lots and lots." you tell her.
"They will Owner, but so will you~" she says, lifting your head.
Her eyes are brightly sparkling with Hope and love, a perfect image of a future mother in your eyes. Soon enough the rain slowly stops, you quickly type a few messages, sending them around.
You notify your Foxes that your off to run errands,
"I want to help Dan!" Katya jumps up.
"Sorry Katya, but this is my territory now." you say, leaving the house.
"Hound - Guard Duty, Daemon notify me of anything of importance in and around the house." you assign orders to your Spirits.
"Certainly Milord." they both say
Heading on over to Sergey's house first you notice that the Rain has broken a few branches off trees. Truly a shame, they were meant for the Town's Children to eat from.
"Sergey! Davay tovarishch! (Come on comrade!)" you say knocking on the door.
He opens the Door, wearing Household clothes as well.
"Why are you dressed like that?" you ask him.
"Probably the same reason for you, it has gotten hotter Chief. We need new Armor, the Winter ones are already too thick to wear." he says, explaining the situation.
"True, you read my message?" you ask him again, together you two starting to walk around Town.
"I did, shame I couldn't tell them a piece of my Mind before you turned them into minced meat." he tells you, sarcasm following his tone.
" *laugh* Ah yes, but still got to take care of one more thing. Even if it costs my Time with my Family." you mumble.
"You don't mean to go after that division from yesterday?" he asks.
"Dzhekpot (Jackpot)!" you express.
"Chief, with all due respect. That is insane... no sane person would do that." Sergey says.
"I am not sane, forgot that one." you tell him, sarcastically.
Joking about the local news, a crucial detail falls into the conversation.
"Chief, Dima got word from high Command. They'll cut the supplies for the next two weeks." Sergey confesses.
"Didn't expect much else, the Rat problem must've affected the whole area. Still can't believe Katya's Husband would allow those insects to join our Cause." you tell him.
"Chief, I don't mean to be rude or such, but you'll have to think of a way to get more food. Not for us or anyone else in here. But for your family. As long as you have 9 Stomachs to fill, your Fridge won't hold enough food." Sergey suggests.
"Not gonna argue with that one. Ah! The suns is up." you point at the weather.
You continue your Stroll through Town, assessing damage and estimating a Repair cost for everything. In total, a good 2 million Roubles worth of damage, excluding the Plants destroyed by the Heavy Rain.
Noticing the time, it's early afternoon already. Time to accumulate some knowledge.
Telling Sergey to work on a temporary solution until the supplies are cut together with the Rest of your Squad, you head on over to Ava's House, hoping to find some information on your Foxes.
Knocking on her Door she opens a small creek and then welcomes you in after seeing who you are.
"Welcome Dan, what can I do for you?" Ava says, wagging her Tail in interest.
"I need some information on uh... *cough* Fox Mating." you mumble.
"Oh~ Dan's trying to be pushy. Alright, I'll help you. Also, I've heard you got some Kilu Foxes now?" Ava asks, scrolling through her bookshelves.
"That is correct. May I take a seat?" you ask her. She affirms.
A few minutes pass, she finally returns with a decently thick book. With no trace of a Title or Author, rather unique and interesting if not also a little bit worrying.
"This is a book containing every bit of information about Foxes, written by Foxes of course!" she intriguingly speaks.
"Thank you, Ava. May I have a read here? I only need a bit of Info." you ask her nicely. Once more, she affirms.
Scrolling through the pages, it contains a very detailed description of every behaviour each Fox type has, there seem to be plenty of Fox Types. The rarest ones being Harshell and Kilu, they only trust certain people.
While Kilu Foxes are the perfect and most loving Housewives and lovers. Harshell Foxes are the perfect Girlfriends.
Kilu Foxes are also called Druids, thanks to their large amount of knowledge of plants and crops.
Harshell Foxes are Empresses, having the ultimate command over any other Fox Type, once they found a Master or Owner they immediately attach to him, not letting him suffer.
But with beauty, pride, and ultimate command over Foxes comes the hard challenge of keeping Harshell Foxes disciplined. These are notorious for killing their Masters if they don't show them proper leadership and behaviour.
Only a few managed to attract and keep Harshell Foxes by their Side through their entire life.
Kilu Foxes on the other hand are impressed if their chosen Partner displays loyalty, respect and ultimate love towards them. They dedicate most of their Lives towards their Partner and the Children they'll have.
Browsing through more and more pages, you find a rather interesting section. The Title of the section leads towards the Hershall Foxes Mating process. It is unique and rather fascinating for you to read.
When the Empresses have chosen their Master and Owner, they immediately support and love him until the end only if he reciprocates those feelings. The most important conditions for healthy and strong Offspring is Material Possessions. A House, with a backyard preferably and of course, wealth.
These Foxes will keep their Love for their Owner, but will become worried and stressed over time if their is no increase in the couples wealthiness. This means Money, is an important matter.
The last fact that you find in this section is the Mating process. When the Master shows unrestricted love for the Foxes, surpassing even the love for himself, the Foxes begin to think of mating with him.
In most cases, the Owner humbly refuses until he is completely sure he can keep the Foxes and their Children safe and happy. While the Foxes might try to convince the Owner otherwise, this is but a test to see if he is still worthy of being their Husband.
Most human males are thought of as beings that mostly like Woman for their physical appearance, not for their love for him or devotion.
Harshell Foxes are the perfect Queens, in the search of a loyal and worthy King, so the Section's last sentence says.
Taking a peek at the Time, it's mid-afternoon. You lay the book aside, thank Ava for the info and leave. Going back home, to take care of your Foxes, Katya's Family and to carefully think of your next move.
