about a few months ago, you had 'rescued' a purple haired kitsune by accident. despite having a reputation for being ruthless across the nations of teyvat, you still had a soft spot for animals. so when you saw a fox being attacked by a group of wild animals, you did what you had to - you saved it.
though, this little fox turned out to be a kitsune. before you knew it, a purple haired fox boy was following you around everywhere, acting more like an obedient dog than your travelling partner. there were a few benefits to him though - free labour, a more sensitive nose, etc... plus, he never questioned you. never questioned what your intentions were, why you travelled, and he wasn't aware of your reputation at all.
"you've returned!" a small voice exclaimed from inside of the tent, kunikuzushi's purple tail swishing from side to side as he rushed outside to greet you. there were a few baskets inside of the tent - he must have went outside to grab fresh vegetables and fruit.
