'Five…'
'Four…'
Erix continued the countdown while feeling slight tremors in his body and rising internal nervousness amidst soul and consciousness trapped in a blank space.
'Two…'
'One…'
Like a dying man receiving his breath of life, Erix's senses returned to him at once, overwhelming him for a second as his silent space world suddenly crumbled.
Erix drilled out of the ground, scaring the fox girl as she jumped back with a startled yelp.
"You scared me! Hehe, but I knew there was someone underneath," the fox girl giggled.
Erix looked at her while dusting himself and said, "Hi. I don't want to fight you because I have a target to hunt. What about you?"
The fox girl's dark orange ears fluffed left and right a bit as she grinned. "You are handsome, so I'll spare you. Let's meet outside."
"My seeds are reserved for someone else," Erix wryly smiled. "Sorry."
