Swish, swish [open]

I'm breathing in the chemicals.

His white belly was pressed flat against the damp earth. The air was filled with the smells of rain, clouds were moving off. The night had been filled with a terrible storm that had shaken his den, Rose had not slept at all. He had left in her in search of some food, and his wanderings had eventually taken him to the field that stank of humans. Black and white beasts moved slowly through the field, bellowing to their newly born calves. Tybalt had no interest in them, however. He could not hunt them. No, his attention was on a different creature.

A rabbit.

It was fat and healthy, a trademark of a good Spring. Its nose was twitching, its eyes bright. Tybalt knew that he could not currently hunt it. It had recently came out of its den, and it was too alert. So he waited. After what seemed like hours, the tiny animal finally lowered its head and began to graze. Tybalt shot out of his hiding place like a bullet, his legs moving over the earth with impressive speed.

But he was still too slow.

The rabbit darted into its den right as his teeth clamped together in the air where it had been seconds earlier. His tail lashed in frustration, and he swore angrily.

open.

Trix

Trix was wondering around the area since her new found freedom allowed her to do so. She was taking her walk slow so she could take in every detail. She her the sounds of cows in the field and thought nothing of it. She came upon an area that was fairly quite so she stopped to observe. She spied through the bushes a young male fox that had just missed his prey as the rabbit slinked down into his hole. "Tough luck with that one," she said stepping out of the bushes "Hi my name is Trix. Whats your name?" she politely asked the young male. She waited for his response, excited for the chance to meet someone new.

Tybalt visibly jumped when another voice sounded not far from him. His amber gaze swept around, but it didn't take him long to find the source of the voice. He stared at her openly for a few moments. He believed that she was fox... She was shaped like a fox and she smelled like a fox... But her coloring was off. He had never seen a fox who was colored like her before. He shook his head, though, stopping his stare. There was no need to be rude.

"Yeah, I'd been stalking it for awhile but there are others to take its place." He agreed, sitting back on his haunches and wrapping his bushy tail around his black feet. At her introduction he grinned. Maybe she didn't look like other foxes, but she certainly wasn't much different from them. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Trix. My name is Tybalt." He smiled warmly at her, his black nose twitching  a bit as he sniffed in her direction.

Trix

Trix tried but failed to contain a laugh as he visibly jumped. She grinned as she realized he was staring at her. She must look very different from most foxes because she was a mix that does not happen a lot in the wild. Her kind is mostly bread for pets and show. She was a patch work of reds and grays, mixed with black. She looked at herself just to make sure her fur was in place and she did not look like a gross stay. 

Content that she look alright she sat down and licked her paw while wrapping her black and grey tail around her black paws. "You know if you crept a little closer you probably would have caught him," she pointed out gently.

"I'm new here and just left my humans. Are you a wild fox? Can you tell me more about this place?" she hit him with some questions because she was sure he was a wild fox and could tell her something useful to help her survive. She hoped she could be friends with this red fox and that she would not have to live alone.

[DENI.]

Tybalt grinned sheepishly at the vixen as she laughed at him, and then corrected his hunting form a bit. That series of events might have made others angry, but Tybalt was slow to anger and even slower to act on it. Instead, he managed to chuckle a bit at himself. "You're probably right. I'm not a huge risk taker, though. I was afraid it would notice me if I got too close." He lowered his ears a bit, feeling a little silly. But still, it was true. That was the chance you had to take with hunting. He was sure he would get the next one, or perhaps the one after that. He would get something to eat one way or the other.

Shock showed on his face at her next statement. "You're humans?" He questioned, confusion clear in his voice. He had heard dogs speak of this, but never a fox. He knew that some foxes were kept in cages for people to gawk at - like some wolves - but she spoke as though she were a pet. He blinked a couple of times, shaking off the shock of what he had just heard. "But yes, I am a wild fox." He said, answering her question.

"Do you mean about this place in specific, or do you mean everywhere around here?" He sat up a bit straighter. The female was very interesting, with her odd pelt and her strange words.

Trix

She was glade that she was getting off to a good start with someone. He chucked at himself as she pointed out his hunting style. He lowered his ears a little. She smiled more as she noticed that he was lay back and gentle. She was surprised that he was not angry at her but he was not. That just added to her like for this wild red fox.

The shock on his face told her that he had not heard of pet foxes. She was not a zoo fox that was for sure, she was bread and trained to be a pet. "I was bread and raised by humans to be a pet but I ran away first chance I got to come to the wild." she clarified with the red fox so he would understand. She probably was the first fox of this coloring and was meant to be a house pet. 

He wanted her to clarified the area she wanted information on. "Hmm. Is there cretan places that are claimed by others, like packs, or groups of foxes, wolves, dogs? I just don't want to get in trouble by crossing into others territory. Also would like to join a group so I don't have to live alone." she asked him and told him hoping that he would know.

[DENI.]

Tybalt listened in silence as she explained what her living situation used to be. He smiled, feeling happy for her. "I'm glad you were able to leave, that is no kind of life for a fox." He said, the tip of his tail twitching a bit. It was one thing for humans to treat dogs that way - dogs liked it - but foxes were different. They were meant to be in the wild, they were meant to feel the fresh breeze on their faces and the soft earth under their paws, the satisfaction of making a kill. All of these things were a fox's birthright.

He nodded in understanding as she explained herself. "I see what you mean now. Well, this particular place isn't claimed by any canines. Sometimes humans come here to tend to the huge beasts, though." He said, pointing his tail toward one of them. "There have been whispers of packs forming, but right now the land is free - it belongs to no one. I am gathering a group of foxes in the Youngling Forest, though. If you ever need help or a place to stay, you are welcome there." He said, smiling warmly once again.

Trix

Trix was glad herself she had left her humans. Being locked in a cage or a house is no life for a fox. Maybe a dog or cat but not a fox, not her. She was glad that she was here and that Tybalt was very understanding and kind. She was glad to be making friends. She was just glad and happy in general. 

When he explained the pack thing she was happy to find out that packs were forming and no land has been claimed yet made it easier on her. His next statement surprised her but didn't at the same time. It surprised her that he invited her to join the pack and didn't surprise her very much that he would start a pack of foxes. He was nice and outgoing. She would love to be part of the pack. "I would love to join your pack. Can I join now," she asked. She would wait for his reaction before continuing.

[DENI.]

His ears perked up in quiet disbelief at the female's words. He had known that she was slightly interested, but he hadn't expected her make up her mind so fast. Once the initial shock was over, though, a grin spread on his face and his tail began to wag back and forth. "Of course!" He exclaimed, moving closer to her and pressing his nose into her oddly colored pelt. He breathed in her scent, memorizing it.

Then he jumped to his paws and turned in the direction of the forest. "Follow me!" He said as he bounded through the grass toward her new home.

I believe this is a good place to end the thread. Just make your next post in the pack thread<33
