"No Way!"

"They're two foxes of the opposite sex alone in the same room. What's the big surprise?"

"I wasn't expecting him to get used to her that fast. Plus, wasn't she raised to believe all that 'love is evil, your body is evil, happiness is evil' crap?"

"Well, sometimes dams break when the pressure's too great."

Krystal blushed as she overheard Katt and Falco discuss her "friendship" with the fox. Though he still didn't understand what their words, he also knew what they were talking about. Seeing the look of embarrassment and shame on Krystal's face, he wrapped his arm around her, comforting her.

"Aww, look at them Falco."

Katt and Falco watched as the fox tried to comfort Krystal, though the fox chose to ignore their presence. Though he couldn't comprehend their strange technology or customs, he understood his quite clearly. To him, their display of passion meant that they weren't just "friends". In his culture, there was no such thing as a "one night stand". With the exception of rape, once you mated, you mated for life.

As far as he knew, this was his mate, this was who he was going to spend the rest of his life with. It was his duty to help her, though he didn't understand why she was plagued with such feelings of shame and guilt. They had just advertised their love to the world, or at least to the cat. Sure, it wasn't something you openly discussed, but why try to hide it? Did she have another mate? No, probably not. Did she not imform her family? Did she even have a family? Ignoring the questions, he focused on comforting her.

"Don't worry" he told her, though he knew she couldn't understand him "you don't have to worry. There's nothing to be ashamed about. Was it because of the interruption? We can just ask for some time alone. Just calm down."

Krystal soon forgot about the incident as she wrapped her arms around him. For about an hour they sat there, hugging, smiling, crying tears of love and joy as the world around them seemed to fade into nothing.

"I love you, Foxy."

"I love you, blue vixen. You make a lovely priestess."
