"I'm so stupid! I just ran out the doors; didn't even think of driving somewhere," Abby groans from a bench off the sidewalk. "Meh, I saved money."
"I feel ya. Aren't sisters the worst?" said a voice next to her.
"Yea, she's so--wait," Abby turns to see where this voice is coming from. "HOLY MOTHER OF...OH MY GOD," She clutches her chest, as if she had a heart attack. She hyperventilates; can barely talk. "Where...who...how did...what just happened?"
"Hm, questions. I'm Cage, I came from the woods, I'm hiding from my sister, too, and you almost died. What, you've never seen a fox-person before?"
"No, not really; I can't recall the last time I saw someone with a tail," Abby retorts. "Or fox-cat-whatever ears. How did you know I have a sister, rather than running from her?"
"Let's just say that a lot of people come around here," Cage scoots a little closer. "I try to have a conversation with one, and I get treated like some insect. Not the first time," He looks away dramatically. They both start giggling.
                                                   ***
Cage Kaurakitsune is a small-framed boy around his mid-teens who just happens to be half fox. His ears are that kind of brown that an encyclopedia would call 'red,' as is his tail, and even his accessories. He is blonde hair is longish for a boy; it falls an inch or two below of the area of what should be his human ears. His side bangs are clipped back with two triangles with a foxtail pattern that seem to be glued to his hair. He has large blue eyes that don't seem to magnetize to others, yet his attitude states otherwise. He often wears a scarf tied like an ascot with that same foxtail pattern. He wears a light grey T-shirt that could be a size smaller, and doesn't seem to mind his bare knees, although Abby does. Who wears bermuda shorts with knee boots anyways? He carries a red book in his hands, which he tries to cover with his tail.
                                                   ***
"So, what's in that book?" Abby asks with maximum curiosity.
"Nothing of your concern. That's what got me out here in the first place."
"Huh?"
"My sister, Sage is just such a snoop. It's like she has to know what I'm doing every waking moment of the day. I tell her to back off, and she just deliberately reads what's right under my nose, chokes me, all with a smile on her face. It's like she was put on this Earth to kill me."
"Hm, I know the feeling," Abby agrees with everything that Cage is saying. She never knew that a fox-person-thing could even talk at first, now he can read and live a relatable lifestyle? "So...what is in the book?"
"Oh, just manga. But who would just want to admit that out in the public?"
"I think you just did," warns Abby. "But there's nothing wrong with that. I know a cool guy named Vic who goes to conventions. Then again...he's gay--"
"Vic's gay?! That explains the boots! And the odd stares..."
"Yup, he's gay; I had to learn that the hard way."
"Haha, there's a hard way?"
"You wouldn't believe."
"What's the kit and kaboodle? You saw him with other men?"
"Why don't you wait until I tell you before you make your little teases. This was a very...interesting...point in my life and it is not to be tampered with."
