"Come on, Dumb-dumb, hurry up!" Selkie yelled playfully to her husband. Selkie, Kaden, Shigeru and Kana had all far ahead of Corrin. It was a bit tough being the only one in the family who wasn't a kitsune or part kitsune. He looked at his family. Two of them had the ears and tail while the other two had only a tail. The former two were his father in law, Kaden, and his wife, Selkie. Then he looked at the two who were less Kitsune and only had tails: his brother in law, Shigeru, and his daughter, Kana.
The group were headed to the Kitsune Hamlet. Selkie, Shigeru and Kana had never been there before due to the war. Finally, the war was over, and there was an opportunity to visit it now. Kaden was the chief of the Hamlet, but he left a while ago to return favors. Kaden told Corrin, "You're quite lucky. We usually don't allow humans into our village." He replied, "But I thought kitsunes were kind to humans?" "We are, but some humans aren't kind to us. They try to kill us to take our beautiful fur and sell it at a black market. We can't just take risks like that." Corrin understood. He remembered first meeting Selkie and a bunch of hunters tried to kill her for her fur.
"We're here." The five gazed at the village of fox people. Kaden stated, "This village is about as beautiful as...well...me!" Shigeru sarcastically replied, "Humble as ever, father."
When the kitsune saw Kaden in the distance, they started running towards him. There was a large crowd. "Kaden, how was your trip." "Did you return any favors." "How is your tail so shiny." "Who are these four?" Kaden stopped them to state, "My village, allow me to introduce my family: My daughter, Selkie! My son, Shigeru! My son in law, Corrin! My granddaughter, Kana!" Everyone was surprised Kaden already had kids this old, let alone a granddaughter. One kitsune stated, "Let's throw a feast and celebrate. Grab our finest birds and let's roast them!"
While waiting for the feast, Selkie made friends with every kitsune her age. A bunch of the Kitsune boys were jealous of Corrin. Most of the Kitsune were climbing trees and playing tag. Corrin found it hard to keep up. As he was resting, he overheard a Kitsune boy talking to Selkie. "You know, you're quite the fun girl." "Thanks, I love playing like this. It makes me feel at home." "How's your lazy husband?" "He's good, I guess. I wouldn't call him lazy, just not as energetic." "That guy isn't perfect for you. It might be best to be with your own kind. Just imagine the two of us playing for the rest of our lives!" Corrin felt down about this. Then he heard, "Look, jerk face. He may not be able to keep up with me, but he's better right now than you will ever be. He scratches me behind the ears, he taught me that lives are not to just be wasted like they're nothing, and he can give me rides through the sky. He loves me and I'll stay by his side until the end."
Corrin felt better now, until he heard, "Yeah, well don't forget about how short a human's life is. We live to over 2000 years and he'll be lucky if he gets to 100." Now both Corrin and Selkie felt bad.
Meanwhile, everyone was enjoying Kana. She could not only turn into a fox, but also a dragon. It was a sight to behold. "I AM KANA, THE DRAGON WARRIOR OF KITSUNES! FEAR ME!" Everyone was applauding her. They didn't care that she didn't have beautiful fox ears.
Shigeru meanwhile was painting a picture of the Kitsune Hamlet. This peaked the interest of every Kitsune in the village. He had quite a way with art.
The feast came later that night. A lot of it was birds and eggs, the favorite foods of Kitsunes. They all ate a bit savagely. Corrin seemed to be the most sophisticated person there. His instincts weren't as strong as the others. Corrin told Kaden about what the Kitsune boy said. Neither knew Selkie was listening. Kaden replied, "You may or may not have anything to worry about." "What do you mean?" Corrin asked. "Azura told me this before her untimely demise. She said that dragons can live for a LONG time. I'm not sure what that means for you since you're half human. But potentially, you could live as long as Selkie." Corrin and Selkie got a great happiness suddenly.
Later that night, Corrin and Selkie were lying down under the stars. "Selkie, do you ever get tired of me for being not as playful as you?" She replied, "Nope. You're a great person. You're always kind, you value life, and you put everyone above yourself. That's why I was happy when you asked me to marry you. I don't care how long you live. I'm not planning on leaving you ever." Corrin smiled. "Thank you, Selkie. I can always count on you to help me feel better." "No problem, Corrin." Selkie then rolled over to Corrin and cuddled up with him. Corrin was confident he had made a good choice for his wife.
