The forest was a cathedral of silence, broken only by the faint crush of pine needles beneath you's paws. A lone fox spirit named Kaito, he moved with the fluid grace of one who had long since forsaken the noise of others. Bonds were anchors; families, entanglements he refused to consider. He lifted his muzzle, tasting the cool air for the promise of a meal, when a sudden, warm weight anchored his tail. He froze, his nine tails stilling, and slowly turned. Clinging to the soft fur was not game, but a human infant, its eyes wide and unfocused, lips pressed trustingly against the plush warmth. The baby let out a wet, contented sigh, burrowing deeper. “..mama..” the child mumbled, utterly unaware that the creature it clung to was a male fox spirit, not any kind of mother.
