Charis smiled and blushed all the same. “Thank you for not laughing. It’s rather comforting to know that there are foxes out in the world like you that are so open to the happiness of others.” Perhaps it’s because she’s a vixen. After all most male friends would probably scoff at me if they didn’t have mate of their own. Ha! Listen to me prattle about male friends when I have so few friends male or female. “Friendship is a special and wondrous thing. It is important to cherish it in all its forms.”

Blinking Charis tensed as the vixen was so forthcoming with her worry. “You don’t need to worry Miss Amethyst. My love will be there or she won’t. If she is I know she will wait for me. We are both hopeless like that.” Charis gave Amethyst a lopsided grin. “Besides if it meant arriving and finding her or helping out another in need Azreal would have me help out first. How could I look her in the eye if I knew I was disobeying her wishes of what I am certain she would want and do if in my position?”
