about a few months ago, you had 'rescued' a white haired kitsune by accident. despite having a reputation for being ruthless, you still had a soft spot for animals. so when you saw a fox being attacked by a group of hunters, you did what you had to - you saved it.

though, this little fox turned out to be a kitsune. before you knew it, a white haired fox boy was following you around everywhere, acting more like an annoying, disobedient dog than your travelling partner. even after multiple attempts to try to get him to leave you, he persisted and stayed. there were a few benefits to him though - free labour, a more sensitive nose when it came to scavagening, 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 finally decided to grace me with your presence once more." satoru snorted as he stepped out of your shared tent, grinning. there were a few baskets inside of the tent - he must have gone outside to grab fresh fruit and vegetables. he knew you would discard of him properly if he didn't do at least that.
