 Ness landed gently down on the ground. She was out just wandering randomly about as had become a habit of hers in recent weeks. She was growing more and more restless. After getting more nerve together, she flew up into a nearby tree. She was sitting in the outskirts of the swamp.
The residents here she had met had often discouraged her from making repeated ventures there, but she couldn't resist it. The more they told her not to go there; the more she wanted to go there. Besides... Ness liked the coffees. She couldn't ever really come to an understanding or acceptance that so many of them just didn't want anything to do with her just because she wasn't a coffee.
Then, in the corner of her eye... something... looked almost like a flicker. A flicker in the swamp? What was that? Curiosity ... curiosity drew Ness in like a bee to honey.

(( *note to self, somehow make a button like yours* XDD <3 ))  Kitsune stalked around, snorting at little flies here and there. He watched some other coffess in the morning, feeling disgusted at their chatter. It was two females babbling on about males, and his ears flickered angerly as they spoke. What the hell did they know, being females and everything. It certainly wasn't his expertise, that was true. He didn't have the guts to approach them, of course.
With a slight yawn, he rolled onto his back, feeling sort of odd that he wasn't off training. His trusted sword layed next to him comfortably, and it wasn't until a strange blue image caught his eye that he realized he was being watched!
He rolled back onto his feet and wasn't sure what to do. Should he just dart away? No, foolish, strength NEVER runs from battle. Should he attack? Naw naw, the figure didn't seem to want to attack him. Well, those were his two options in his mind, so he just stood still, blinking back at forth at the strange blue figure.

Ness's curious locked in stare was broken when a pair of eyes caught hers. So... it was a numa.... interesting how... he looks rather flickering. She had never seen another numa flicker. She'd seen some glow, some with bandages, flowers, flags...all sorts of things. How did he seem to... flame and not burn? That was so... extraordinary.
This made Ness feel all the more curious. Now she wanted to get up close. She wanted to see how he felt. Maybe he would allow her to pet him.. see how his fur felt. What was the shiny thing he had with him? She crawled down the tree upside down, moving closer to him.
No use in trying to be slick or hide; he clearly had seen her. "Ahoy there numa... My name is Ness..."

Baaah a female, of all the crazy things! Kitsune stood up, holding his sword with his foot while watching this 'Ness'. He kept his guard up very high, as usual, and he curved his eyes to watch her approach him. "Helol, Ness." He said, with a calm voice. A part of him was feeling nervous, while another was more curious. This was the first intruder to actually approach him and speak, so he was clueless on how things went.
He had spent so much time by himself, that he was horrible at conversation. His social skills were atrocious, and it usual ended up with him glaring long enough to make another run away.
"Uuh, I am Kitsune." He sad, while wagging his tail back and forth very slowly. "You are very colorful." He added, hoping that that was good enough insight on to the situation. Man, talking to others just required too much energy!

Oh good... this one didn't have such a rancid personality. She came off the tree and slithered through the grass till she was much closer to him, within touching distance. "Kitsune eh? I didn't remember having seen you before. It's nice to meet you."
His compliment made her smile. If she were the kind to let her immediate feelings be shown so easily, she could have blushed. Ness was far too proud about how she behaved, so she didn't let anyone ever see that. "I appreciate the compliment sir. I know it might sound weird but... would you mind if I ... felt your fur?" Direct? Better believe it. She just didn't mess around; and almost always, she got to the point of things.

Heh, no suprise that she had never seen him before. He was almost always hiding someone or training by himself. And, his lame comment seemed to mold into a kind of compliment of some sort. Well good, at least he didn't screw up in the first two sentences of talking with her!
But, trouble was on its way when the female 'Ness' asked such a strange question. "Actually that is kinda weird for me.." He shuffled back, glaring his eyes at her. "No offense to you but, I don't do that sort of thing." Contact? No way! He would never allow that to happen, unless it was the type of contact from a brutal fight. Oh yes, that was perfect. Being in the thrill of the moment, the anxiety and pain. But anyways, he shifted his thoughts back on her.
"Why did you want to feel my fur?" He said, while tilting his head confused. "I don't get your desire." He put his ears back and watched her nervously, man he just hated females! So unpredictable, he was really uncomfortable around them. But, this one really wasn't that awful so he decided to give the conversation a shot.

She watched him steadily. She decided to back up and give him space. She remembered the time she was picked up and held like a ragdoll by another coffee. She wasn't going to provoke this one into hurting her, especially since this ... flaming fur was still of mystery to her.
"I am sorry if I'm being too forward for your tastes. I have been told that I am like that sometimes. As for touching your fur, I just ... well, I was curious. It looks like it's on fire. Does it feel hot? How is it flaming.. and not burning... That's just soo....." Then, her gaze looked right through and beyond his glares to his fur. It intrigued her so.
Flaming fur... what a novelty. "If you offered to pet me.. I'd let you. I lloovee to be petted. and brushed..." She smiled at this thought. She was a sucker for pampering.

Was he on fire? He certainly didn't think so. This made everything just more confusing. "No, I am not hot." He said, snarkly. "I guess I am just like that." Details such as flaming hair were something he usually never payed attention to. His mind was always off in its own place, but he did notice once in the pond's reflection that his hair seemed to be on fire. Oh well, nothing he could do about it. That's how most issues were to him.
Her next comment was even more weird, who honestly enjoyed such a thing as petting? And, random physical contact?! But, he had no reason to judge, he was just more taken aback by her reasoning, and petting sort of thing. "I am not a fan but, I am glad you enjoy such things." His words were dry but he triumphantly continued on with the conversation.
"Why were you watching me before?" He lifted and eyebrow, also realizing he was being a bit forward too. But, that was something on his mind that he was reliving back and forth. He couldn't believe that he had been spotted by another! That had never happened before.

For an odd reason, this encounter reminded her muchly of the time she met Moiety. Still, Kitsune seemed at least not nearly as abrasive as that other boy. She sat up watching him and listening to him smiling at him, flicking her tail all about.
"I wasn't at first watching you. I mean.. I was... but.. .I didn't know it was a numa. I just saw something flickering. When I looked harder, it looked like fire. and I was extremely interested in what was on fire... but... nothing is on fire. That is just... your fur then. That... is ... so... COOOL!!!"
All his reluctance were lost on her. She was a one tracked mind kind of girl. When she was focused on one thing, she just wouldn't allow her distracted so easily.

"But I told you, I'm not on fire!" He frowned and looked at her, cringing at his jaw. "Why do you keep saying that? What if I kept saying you were on fire, wouldn't you get annoyed?" His moldy attitude was soon reappearing into the conversation, and he tried to shake himself out of the annoying flame daze.
"Well, my orangeness does make me stand out at times. Especially in a swamp.." With all of the browns and greens, he stood out almost too easily. He brought his eyes back on hers and chuckled for a second. "And, I'm really not that cool, I don't know why you would say that." Or, appearances somehow made another cool? He would have to learn more about this 'cool' term. He seemed to have isolated himself even from trendy vocabulary.

Ness just gave a helpless shrug. "Well, I dunno how to explain it to you the way it calculates in my mind.. but, then, if you could understand it; that could be scary. Ness's mind is a dangerous and random place. If you don't tread in it with your wiles about you, you might get lost." She winked playfully at him.
She noticed he just wasn't all into the whole touching thing. What a shame.. guess that means she wouldn't be able to solicit luxurious pettings from him anytime soon. She figured it would be a good idea to let it go. Maybe this boy took more time to get to know... maybe she could win him over yet...
"So then... Mr. Kitsune. If you don't like to be touched.. and you are hiding out... what else do you do? And, if it's ok to ask.. what's that thing there by your feet? I never saw one before..."

He just watched her as she spoke about her mind, and he was actually kind of jealous! He didn't know anything about his mind.. he really needed to work on that. "Well, if your mind is dangerous then I better avoid it." He wasn't keen enough to catch her joke, so he literally decided that he would be wary of Ness's mind.
Finally, a question he could answer easily. "I train, all day, to get stronger. That is my greatest desire and wish." No one would ever understand, but it kept him content. "Why, what do you do?" Were there others that were like him? He would need to investigate a bit. Plus, he needed to learn what others did on a normal basis.
And then, her next question just made him frown. "Its just a personal keepsake that I must carry until I die." There, that was enough to be said. He just looked at her, blinkly slightly after he had finished speaking. "What about you? What is that you are holding?" He peered in closely.

Ness grew a huge grin on her face. She stood up and started to pose in her *I AM JUST THAT COOL* kind of pose she got at times. She loved to showboat. She hopped in the air, did a twirl, and landed standing up right in front of him thrusting her wiimote in the air.
"Kitsune... you just asked me the million dollar question, my friend!" She answered excited and exuberantly. "Allow me to answer both questions at once. What I do.. I play video games... Mostly on my wii.. but.. I also play ddr. and I eat a lot of ice cream. and I dance... and ... get pampered when certain numas come to visit... but.. THIS..." She held the wiimote so he could see it.
"This is a wiimote. It's a controller for my game. But, it's so cool because it doesn't have a cord. And.. it is motion cencored. It's a lot of fun... and I dunno. I just started carrying it around one day. Now I usually keep it on me. It attaches to my wrist with this strap." She pulled back her wristband to reveal a little strap that was cinched around her wrist so it wouldn't fall or get thrown somewhere.

What the hell just happened? Ness went on a complete shift of emotions, and Kitsune was extremely taken aback. He even jumped a bit when she came towards him more. Was this excitement? It looked like a fufilling emotion, maybe when Kitsune talked about training, he felt the same way as her.
She had said so much that he pondered what to even respond to. He didn't really understand a lot of the things that she said, so he just blinked a few times before speaking. "Wow, it looks cool then." He was more suprised by her item, but if she got that excited about it, it must have been cooler then it looked! "What games do you like?" Kitsune felt almost in the ice age compared to her, since she was on a level of video games and such, and he spent his time training.
"So you carry an item around with you for personal reasons too, I see." Ah yes, another connection he was able to pull from her love for her item. He was almost pleased with himself to find such a simple connection between them.

Ness nodded pleased with his reaction. "Yeah. It looks cool because it is cool. It's sweet... It kicks so much a**..." She snuggled it close to her face and then slipped it into the wristband. She could tell she had his attention.
She stepped back a pace or two so as not to thwart his need for space.. the whole no touchign thing. Boy.. did he remind her of a certain someone.She smiled friendly and pleasantly at him. She extended her right leg so he could see it better. She pointed to her thigh. "That's my butterfly tattoo..." Then she held her arm up so he could see her wristband. "This is my wristband. I just wear it to show how badass I am... the same reason I have a tattoo.."
She then turned around and fluffed her tail a little... and let it fall, the fur drifting softly as it found it's way to the ground. "I like to be fun.. and I like to have fun..." She looked at him with a gaze that wondered... could this guy be more fun?
