There might be a way to make something like that. Plenty of room on the Iskaulit. There are enough engineers that they might be able to make a snow machine- they've made plenty of asinine things.

I don't know that humans wouldn't access it to watch the foxes, but a space for them closer than the Marsiva might not be a bad idea?

There would need to be actual earth. Foxes dig, you know. Even the domesticated ones. We like to destroy things.

[She's really hoping they didn't take that away from that fox, at least.]

They'd still want to go in and treat them like pets. And they'd argue that it's okay because they're domesticated.

[So it's sadly a very circular problem.]

I guess I don't know a whole lot about foxes. You'll have to fill me in.

I mean, I am living in close quarters with one.

We aren't dogs, to begin with.

[She cannot stress that enough.]

I knew that much. Easy enough to trick a dog. It's the foxes who are wily.

Good. [She grins a bit, stretching her arms over her head.]

We aren't cats, either.

Of course not.

You'd be amazed at how many people assume we're just a mix of the two because we're canines that can purr.

That must be frustrating.

Like you wouldn't believe.

It's not quite the same circumstance, but I get where you're coming from. People not understanding completely.

It's a relief, honestly. People usually don't, and I don't particularly want to be kicked off this ship.

What makes you think you're going to be kicked off the ship?

If you had taken her side would you want me around?

I just want you both to try and be civil. I'd rather keep both of you around.

[ He's pretty fond of both of you, okay. ]

Well, if you want to try talking to her again, feel free. I have no desire to do it myself after she didn't listen the first time.

I planned on it. You're part of my crew and she's my best friend. I'm sure you can see why I'd like for you to be in the same space and not be fighting. I'm not saying you two have to be friends, just learn to occupy the same spaces occasionally.

I'm going to tell her the exact same thing. Does that sound fair?

I'm perfectly capable of sharing space, she was the one who threatened me. I'd rather not see that fox here, though. And I don't want her in my or Monty's rooms.

She'd have no business to be in either of your rooms, your space is your own and Wrath will respect that.

What about her bringing that fox over here?

[Because that is not Wrath's fox, oh no.]

And those threats she enjoys making?

I'll tell her not to bring him over anymore.

She's only defensive when she feels like her crew or friends are in danger. You won't be made to feel threatened on our ship, okay?

Alright. [She sighs.] Good luck.

[She isn't very hopeful.]

Thank you, Renart.

[ He gives her a nod, moving back through the door. ]

If you need anything, let me know.

I will. The same goes for you, as well. [Fair's fair and all.]
