Kitsuna glanced over at Ren, her expression casual but her gaze was intense as she watched him for a reaction. She was happy to see he was suitably impressed and with a smiling swagger she trotted before him, taking in his expression of confusion mixed with awe. Swinging her tails around her with pleasure she tracked her blue eyes on him.

“I have always been able to do it, ever since I was a pup. It’s in my blood, my father was a true Kitsune of many tails after all.” Sitting herself down a little way from Ren she looked back towards the city of men but her eyes were not focused on anything in particular as a small sigh escaped her. “So you see I am not as defenceless as you seem to think and in order to help you, which is of course the reason we are making this trip to begin with, there seems to be some things I have to do.”

For a while she was still and silent as she continued to gaze at nothing in particular, her thoughts buzzing around inside her head for a few silent minutes.

“Do you remember that dream I had about you … I remember walking into a place … and when I walked I was tall and I walked on two legs…” She turned her face back to Ren, she was calm and serious as her eyes bored into him.
