Her ears perk up and she makes a little happy yip! Tail swish, tail swish.

Awwww pet pet pet.

Well, gosh, she guesses the only response is to aggressively snuggle him! Snugglesnugglesnugglesnuggle!

Goodness, she's so lively. And soft and fluffy and cuddlesome.

All of those things, yep! Snugglesnugglesnuggle.

She finally has a respectable amount of calories in her, and consequently she's energetic, and feeling so affectionate towards him, and she's not allowed to nibble him, not even a little bit, or steal his shoes and bury them in the yard or anything. So she has to channel all of that energy into snuggling, and so she's gonna.

That is a lot of really enthusiastic snuggling! Isfain is tremendously charmed.

She aggressively snuggles him, then hops away, scampers around him to the other side of him, and begins aggressively snuggling that side. It wouldn't do if he felt neglected. She is an equal opportunity snuggler.

Well now he's just giggling helplessly.

Snuuuuugglesnugglesnuggle...

Okay. That is probably enough aggressive snuggles. She can instead flomp on him affectionately for more toned down snuggles. So he can be free to do other things besides 'be aggressively snuggled by a fox.'

Aww, affectionate flomping.

"You're terribly charming," he says, petting her.

Affirmative yip!

He scoops her up in his arms and nuzzles the top of her head, because she is cute and soft and good.

She giggles a little vulpine giggle, and nuzzles him back.

Snuggle-nuzzle-pet-pet. Such fluff. So soft. So good.

Awwwww. He's so cute. He can have an affectionate nose for his trouble.

She forgets to accommodate for her cold nose, so: it is an affectionate cold nose.

He squeaks, then giggles.

Oh no!

Apologetic nuzzle. She's sorry.

"It's all right." Pet pet.

Happy yip.

Nuzzle. "You're so cute."

Happy yip! Affectionate nuzzle.

What a good soft cozy friend!!!!!!

Yep! Sprawled affectionately on him and everything.

Though she does thoughtfully nose the hand with the gold ring on it, and then give him a questioning look. Is there anything he needs to do to examine her further? She doesn't want to interrupt his work just for snuggles.

"Hmm? Oh. Yes, I'm still paying attention," he says. "If the spell does have a defense against tampering, the easiest way to avoid triggering it is to do all my information-gathering very very passively."

She yips an affirmative, and returns to snuggling. Just checking.
