The small one (1 on 1)

[Firox]

good thing the cave has plenty of spots to hide,
Arval watches the furry fox moving around, before it can meet anymore
"no worry, its safe inside, come out when you feel comfortable'

[Fixen]

he just layed down, hiding his legs behind him, sure that they had seen them, hoping he wouldnt have to explain, he still needed time to adjust to being near someone first

[Firox]

Arval for now leaves some fresh food near the entrance, hoping it convinces the smaller fox to at least come out to greet


Arval didn't get a chance to see the robotic legs or tail so for now still doesn't know about them

[Fixen]

he looks at the food, quickly weighing risks and rewards, deciding that the other fox wouldn't attack, decided to go get it, walking around the side of the cave to keep his legs and tail concealed, not very well, they were out in the open now, but he sat and started eating, slowly though

[Firox]

Arval decides to start heading into the other side of the cave to make sure rain water isn't getting in


Does get surprised when a sudden loud thunder crashes outside, heard so close
'safer inside than outside" Arval tries, only getting a quick glimpse of the fox

[Fixen]

fixen shivers a bit from the cold, soon finishing the food and retreating back into the cave, curling up in a corner, deciding that it didnt matter if the other fox saw his legs and tail

[Firox]

Until it feels comfortable, for now Arval will continue to do some training in another part of the den
during the evening towards night time storm seems to get worst

[Fixen]

Fixen seemed to get scared as time went on, he didnt want to be alone, but he didnt want to interact with the unknown fox

[Firox]

with Arval doing hitting rocks and parts of cave wall, might have frightened it more, not it's intention
as time went by, Arval kind of forgot that the other visiting fox was there, after some training rests for a while

[Fixen]

fixen whines slightly, the storm isn't helping, it made him act weird, easier to frighten to be exact, his tail tucked under him, as he shook, watching the location the other fox disappeared to

[Firox]

while Arval trains a bit, focusing on the rocks, flicks ears at the sound of low whine
"are you safe?"
Arval once more tries to find out where the other fox went to, tries searching for a few minutes

[Fixen]

he was easily found, and at that time, it became very obvious that fixen was a runt, he was so small, no wonder he was scared, most animals get rid of runts, he somehow survived

[Firox]

Arval can't call it by it's name, since he doesn't know it yet, for now
"well, greetings, good to see you, I'm Arval, the resident here at the cave, more than welcomed to stay and learn, storm will go on throughout the entire night"
"don't worry much about me, I'm not evil at all"


Arval lays closer down to floor, giving other fox plenty of space so it doesn't feel cornered

[Fixen]

even with the reassuring, fixen was still scared, he just kept watching, maybe if left alone, he might be able to come out a little more, he was scared of the storm, so he might try to cuddle up to the other fox, as, he still had a small childlike mindset, even though he was about midway through his life, he just never picked up the skills needed

[Firox]

"alright, will give you some more time, be safe"
Arval gets back up with a stretch, and will leave it to get more comfortable, it can assume the storm is making it more frightentened in coming out
