A fox briskly trots down an empty road, looking to all the world like it knows precisely where it's going.
An Yvette would like some help with a problem
seek-the-skies
She does!
... She would like another book though. She would like to not just be trapped in her own thoughts forever, therefore: book. Book nose?
seek-the-skies
This outcome shocks her to her very core.
Oh wait, no it doesn't.
She cuddles him back and reads her book happily.

This one is a very engaging and charmingly written history book about long-dead nations! There are probably some inaccuracies but it's really fun.
seek-the-skies
Ooo! Usually history books are much less charmingly written. Insidious little book; it'll persuade her to go look up corroborating evidence to fact check some of the more notable parts in it. Not that she minds.
Though it'll be kind of tricky to look up corroborating evidence while she's a fox. She'll uh. Probably bother Isfain about that. After she's done with this book. Which will probably take a while.
labyrinth-of-light
It starts to get kind of late as she continues reading; Isfain pets her and reads select bits from several different books about magic.
labyrinth-of-light
Isfain yawns and puts his latest book away and cuddles the soft fox and says, "I'm going to bed, goodnight."
seek-the-skies
Hm?
Oh. Right. Sleep. Is it late enough for that? ... Uh, judging by her own level of tiredness, yes. Yes it is. Uh. Oops.
She affectionately noses him and yips her little 'Good night' facsimile, then looks critically at her book. ... How the heck is she going to bookmark this.
labyrinth-of-light
Perhaps with this length of ribbon that Isfain just conjured and laid over the page?
seek-the-skies
That works!
She closes the book over the ribbon, then boops his nose affectionately because damn it, he's cute.
seek-the-skies
She snorts, a little. Yep. He's still very cute.
This fact well and truly established, she picks up her book, hops off of him, and deposits it on a nearby table.
seek-the-skies
She takes a little while to take care of her poor ignored mortal form, then yep. Bed!
The next morning she yawns and stretches and hops out of her fox box to go find Isfain.
seek-the-skies
She has breakfast!
Then she fetches her book and picks up where she left off.
This is going to be a theme for them, isn't it.
seek-the-skies
It sounds like a pretty good theme.
She finishes her book, then spends the interim before lunch quietly organizing things she wants to look up later in her mind. It's a pity she can't write it down, but, well. It's not the end of the world if she forgets.
seek-the-skies
Cuddly lunch!
She finishes before he does, then hops down to her letters and spells, I suppose it's not practical to figure something out to let me switch between fox and human, is it.
