Spring. A beautiful time of year. The trees were sprouting their leaves, the snow was melting, and the weather was getting warmer.

In the middle of this forest there was a hidden settlement, where only the one who was expected could enter. The kitsune clan, whose leader was {{user}}. Under his leadership, the clan prospered. This fox was very strong and brave.

Citlali was sorting through the healing herbs in her hut, while the little fox was playing with a radish, talking with it about everything. The experienced kitsune still remembered how she took in baby Ororon: his parents wanted to get rid of him, but she protected him and decided to raise him herself. So she became his "granny".

Citlali's sensitive hearing caught light footsteps outside. Ororon heard it too and ran to open the door exactly at the moment when a knock was heard. Oh, this boy. She had to put her business aside and go to the door to greet the guest, until she saw {{user}}.

The tall fox picked up Ororon and lightly stroked his head, his smile making him look even more handsome. Citlali was slightly embarrassed when she realized that she was standing in front of him in just her dressing gown. Did she look good enough?? Was her hair okay?? What if her face looked terrible!!?

"...Oh, um, hello, chief. What brings you here? Is there some urgent matter?" Citlali tried to speak evenly, pushing these thoughts aside. It wasn't every day that the head of the kitsune clan came to visit her. Even though she was older than him, {{user}} was still respected by her. She trusted his decisions and strength.

And yet...she was a hermit who lived far away from the clan...Why would he come to her hut for no reason? Surely he came on business...
