Sigal wrapped her tail around Ame's, not sure which of them she was trying to comfort. She heard something moving in the cave, and a large shape stepped out into the sunlight...
"Hi, Daddy."
Ari looked at his daughter, looked at the other fox with her, and yawned, trying to figure out what it all meant when it was still so early.
"Hi," he managed to say, before yawning again.

Ame smiled at Sigal nuzzled her slightly comforting them both but stopped when she heard something moving inside the cave. She blinked at the large figure Sigal called Daddy. Even though she had seen and elder once before, they never sieced to amaze her. Ame nodded her head at the elder and stood at Sigals side trying to look pretty.

Silence followed for what seemed a long, long while, even though it couldn't have been more than a minute or so.
"Um...Daddy...you see...I meet this really great modifox...and...andheresheis." Sigal glanced up at Daddy, worried about what he would say.
What Sigal had said, especially the last part which had been smushed all into one word, took a while for Ari to process. His daughter had found a mate now? Already? Wasn't she young for that?
But no, there she was, all grown up with modifications, and looking disturbingly like her mother, too...Ari shook his head, forcing those thoughts out. Really, it was too early to be awake.
"So, does she have a name?" he asked lightly, half disturbed by how quickly it seemed Sigal had grown up, and half amused by this whole thing.
She wasn't expecting Daddy to be that accepting. But Sigal wasn't complaining either!
"Her name is Ame."
"Well, Ame...If I ever get word that you've hurt Sigal, you'll be a dead modifox walking. Do you understand? But, so long as you treat her well, I wish the both of you the best of luck."

Ame blinked in disbelief. Had Sigals father accepted them that easily? Ame blinked a few more times. Maybe he just wasn't awake yet. She knew that she could never cause any harm to Sigal so did that mean she had his aproval? Knowing she had to do or say something, Ame bowed her head.
"You won't ever hear that I've hurt her, I can promise you that. Thank you for accepting us."

"You thought I wouldn't?" Ari raised an eyebrow curiously, looking back and forth between the pair in front of him.
"Well...we're both girls," Sigal blurted out, and immediately felt stupid for pointing out the obvious. Duh they were both girls.n
"And you thought that...Ooooh. So. No one told you? About me and Kazuki?"
"You and the other elder? What about him?" Sigal asked, now throughly lost in the conversation.

Ame felt a bit more relieved seeing as how she wasn't the only one completely lost and confused by the elders reaction. Sigal had one weird dad but at least she had one. And he wasn't so bad. At least he was accepting.

"Well...we're mates."
Sigal took a moment to process this information. Daddy's mate was a boy? But then, she had fallen in love with Ame, so it wasn't that strange, really...Just not what she had been expecting. Even though that she knew Daddy and Mom really had never mated. Something about a forced breeding or divorce...Something like that.
"Oh."

So Sigals dad had mated with a boy? Well that would explain why it was so easy to get his approval. Feeling lost for words Ame just kind of stood there looking back anf forth between Sigal and her father. Then she wrapped her tail around Sigal's and sighed a happy sigh of relief.

Ari yawned again. He really was glad to see his daughter with someone who made her happy, but he was just so tired.
"Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go back to sleep."
"Okay. Good night, Daddy," Sigal said. Saying 'good night' in the middle of the day felt weird, but she really couldn't think of what else to say.

Ame, feeling as if she had to say something, nodded her head and said "Good night Mr. Sigals Daddy." It sounded akward but she didn't know what else to say so that was as good as it was going to get. Sigal had a weird daddy but he was pretty cool.

"Just call me Ari, I guess. Or dad. Whichever." If Ame was Sigal's mate, he supposed that made her his daughter in law or something like that. He was really too tired to try to figure it out.
Sigal watched Daddy go back into the cave to go back to sleep. She still didn't get why he slept during the day. It was a crazy, crazy tribe.
"So, you want to go swimming? The lake we passed is nice for that." Whit Sigal needed right then was to relax after that. She had been so nervous, and she hadn't yet fully calmed down, and the swimming would help her relax, she hoped.

Ame nodded to Ari and watched him go back into the cave in silence.
"A swim sounds great." She said turning to look at Sigal. Ame wasn't to fond of what her fur looked like wet but nice cold water would sure help calm her nerves.

Sigal ran back to the lake, and jumped into the water. It was kind of cold, but not that bad. And it was helping her relax a lot, so Sigal wasn't going to complain about the temperature. Especially because she was quickly getting used to it.

Ame ran after Sigal but skidded to a halt at the waters edge. She watched Sigal jump in. She stuck her paw in. Brrrr. She stuck her other paw in. Then her back paws. Ame hesitated; she was watching Sigal. Sigal seemed to be just as pretty in the water!

"You just need to jump in! You'll get used to it really quickly!" Sigal called out, doggy paddling along parallel to shore. She really loved this lake. It was what kept her entertained when all of the other tribe members were sleeping. She supposed she would kind of miss it when she left, but she knew she couldn't stay and join Daddy's tribe, either.
