Aella giggled, then winked. "Well save your judgement on how scary I can be until someone comes around and makes me mad," she said, wrinkling her face in a mock scary grimace.
Her face relax, and she giggled again. "Berry fetcher? Maaaaaybe," she said slying, grinning in a teasing way. "If I fetch berries for you do I get to snuggle with your wings in return? They're very soft and fluffy, great for snuggling!"

Tsuzuki looked at her surprised, "You want to snuggle in my wings?" He looked down at them. He still didn't see what she liked about them so much, but if she agreed to fetch him berries he thought it was a fair trade. "Um sure....I suppose that sounds fair enough." He smiled at her charmingly, "If you agree to be my berry fetcher then i agree to be your.....um.....fluffy....pillow?" He looked at her unsure of what to call such an arrangement.

Aella giggled at the slightly confused look on Tsuzuki's face. "Pillow's as good a word as any," she agreed. "Berry-fetcher and pillow, those are our new titles." She looked around, then looked up at Tsuzuki. "Any more berries around? I got all the ready-to-eat ones off that bush. Your sniffer seems better than mine at find berries, so...," Aella trailed off, looking at Tsuzuki expectantly.

"Pillow..." He nodded his head, "I like that title....It makes me feel...important." He chuckled, looking down at the little fox. "Oh right berries..." Tsuzuki lifted his head up and sniffed the air. "Mmm....those ripe and juicy red ones are near here. I don't know what they are called....but they are the most delicious berry that i have ever tasted. I thought that I had died and gone to heaven when I tasted this berry."
The excited phim extended his wings and flapped them happily as he bounced back and forth on his paws.

Aella nodded seriously. "It is important, veeeeery important," she said, reaching up to briefly snuggle the wings, then plopped back down on the ground. "Okay, berries. Hmmmm." Aella turned and faced the direction Tsuzuki had been sniffing in, and slowly moved forward. It wasn't a very strong smell to her, but she thought she was heading in the right direction.
After a bit of meandering Aella finally found the bush that was the source of the smell. Still within the tree cluster and pressed up against a small grouping of them. Apparenlty it needed the support. "Oh, these are raspberries," Aella said, approaching the bush. She gave it a careful little shake. These had thorns as well, but smaller and a lot harder to remove.

Tsuzuki followed after her, very interested in this work of hers. Aella was so patient for a hyper fox, it amazed him that she had the presence of mind to stand still while she was extracting the berries from the bush. But this time it appeared that she might have a little trouble with it. She was looking at the bush like there was a problem.
"Is...something wrong Aella?" He leaned down and nuzzled against her side with his muzzle. "If it's too dangerous then I don't want you to do it." He shook his head.

Aella tilted her head, absently leaning into the nuzzle while examining the bush. "Hmmm. I neeeeeed.....a stick," Aella declared, looking around the area for something suitable. "A kinda longish stick that's thicker than my claws, but not so big that I can't get it in my mouth." Aella tilted her head back and peered upwards at the tree branches, then looked back to Tsuzuki.
"Think you could find me one?"

"I am a Master stick finder." He smiled at her, "You didn't know that?" Tsuzuki chuckled as he looked up at the trees above their heads. "Hmmm...." His eyes darted from one branch to another, then he flapped his wings and ascended into the trees. He ripped a few samples off, then let them fall to the ground. After that he nabbed one more branch, then floated back down to the ground and landed in front of her.
"Will any of these do?" He gestured to the small pile he had collected for her.

Aella pawed at the pile of sticks Tsuzuki had collected. "Hmmm." She looked up. "Ah, this one will do nicely!" She neatly snagged the branch that was still in Tsuzuki's possession, then turned back to the bush. She positioned the stick just so in her mouth, picked a good spot on the bush, then stuck the stick between the branches and used it to rattle them.
It took a little bit longer than using her paw, but after a moment berries began dropping down from that bush as well and hit the ground. Encouraged, Aella put a little more strength into shaking the bush.

"And I thought that the paw thing was amazing...but this stick trick?" Tsuzuki watched her with amazement, his eyes wide and his jaw hanging down. "Where did you learn these secrets?" The phim marveled at her skills, his eyes watching the berries plummet to the ground hungrily. They looked so delicious, and they were all for him. Well, and Aella. It would be rude of him not to share with her, especially after she spent so much time fetching them for him.

Aella just laughed, but couldn't answer immediately with the stick still in her mouth. When she was satisified that she had gotten all the ripe berries though she let the stick drop to the ground and turned to Tsuzuki, grinning. "Some of it I learned on my own, some was shown to me and I learned how to do it like that," Aella replied, dropping down to the ground and carefully working around some of the large, woody branches to get the berries on the ground. The first attempts were easy since she'd gotten so many, but after awhile she had to work towards specific berries which were harder to reach.

"Wow...." Tsuzuki scooped up the berries she pushed over and split them into two equal piles as she continued to push more berries his way. "That's pretty neat. DO you think that you can teach me that little trick?" he looked at her interested, "Oh but then you wouldn't be my berry catcher." The phim chuckled, "I think it would be best for you to keep your secrets. that way you won't be able to leave me. And we can be together forever."

Aella finished scraping the berries she could reach from any angle, and sat up, grinning. "You have to take a bunch of sacred oaths before I can teach you my secrets of berry harvesting. Though," she amending, "you should have no problem with things like blueberries or strawberries."
Aella scooped up one of the berries she'd pulled from under the bush and popped it in her mouth, chewing on it. Her eyes lit up. "Oh, that's tasty! No wonder you like 'em so much!"

He laughed, "I know....aren't they the sweetest!" Tsuzuki leaned down and licked one of the berries into his mouth and munched on it happily as he hummed. "Mmm....i will take whatever oath you want me to take....as long as I can have a non-ending supply of berries." The phim chuckled as he took another berry into his mouth, then another and another until they were all gone.
He sat up, his tail wagging happily behind him as he grinned, "Oh my...god..." he sighed happily as he fell to the ground, and rolled on his back, kicking his feet in the air contently.

Aella giggled, munching on a few berries herself but leaving most of them for Tsuzuki. She liked sweet things, but her sweet tooth wasn't nearly so pronounced as Tsuzuki's. It was actually a pleasure for her to watch him eat those with so much enjoyment. It was just as good as snuggling his fluffy wings. Speaking of...
Aella eyed the fluffy wings now splayed on the ground slyly and slunk forward, then suddenly pounced forward and started snuggling them.
