It's Talking Cats and Foxes (Zavie)

Riiggghhtt, it was around here somewhere. Come on, it hasn't been that long since you were last here! It was just a little over this way right? Or... No, maybe more over here? NO! That! That undeniable smell of cats! That had to be him right? Yup, yup, totally! Wow, she really needed to make a map or something, or just try to recognize the landmarks, like that tree! And that streetlamp! To be fair the first time she found this place was completely by accident and she didn't really pay much attention as to how she found it then...

"This has got to be it!" The girl would shout out to herself as she dashed down an ally to be greeted by a ridiculous number of cats that she remembered from last time. "Hello there little ones, I'm here to talk to Zavie, any of you know if he's home?" She'd question towards the cats before looking up to the window she remembered climbing up to before. "Hmm... Could one of you maybe go fetch him for me if he's up there? Pleeeaassseeee?"

The young vixen would watch as one of the cats she had asked would jump its way up towards Zavie's window and start meowing inside, awesome! She, uh, really didn't expect that to work if she was honest. The girl was just having a bit of fun and then was gonna climb up and take a look in for herself, but this works too! Not a moment later, Zavie's head could be seen poking out from his window. Smiling cheerfully at seeing her friend being in, Callie would return the wave and start the climb up to Zavie's window herself.

"Hiiii~!" The girl would call happily as she got up to the window. "How've you been Zavie? I didn't get to talk to ya much after last night cause, well, I fell asleep and all! You were gone by morning, obviously, how've you been? You weren't in too much trouble were you? You weren't hurt or anything bad, right? You... D-di-..." The girl would stop and tilt her head, at a sudden loss for words which was most uncommon for her as she noticed something. "Y-yo..." She'd stare unblinkingly at the boys head, unsure of if her eyes were playing a trick on her or if the boy was teasing her after seeing her ears yesterday and decided to buy fake ones to amuse her. The girl would suddenly go from standing motionless to practically diving herself at Zavie to get a closer inspection. "Z-zavie! A-a-are these real!? They can't be, can they!? H-how would you have, why didn't you, who, what, where, wait! Is that why you didn't seem that freaked out when you saw mine? Oh my god, am I not the only one like that!? Oh my god, that's so cool! Zavie! Zavie! Tell me it's all true!" She'd cry out a barrage of questions, not giving the boy even a second to respond to any of them before asking the next until asking him to answer her as if he was holding back all the answers.

"Oh come on! Get ya paws out ma face!" The girl would say, too excited by the whole situation to be thinking even slightly rationally as she tried to move Zavie's hands away from his face. Disappointed by the fact there was now a hood covering her perfectly good few of Zavie's head. "Aww! Come on, ya gotta show me if it's true! I need to see, it's like nothing I would of ever imagined! I truly thought there could be no one else, let alone someone like you! It's so awesome! Coommmeee onnnn! Shoooww meeee! Show me! Show me! Show me!" The girl would cry out impatiently, far too excited for her own good, b-but for good reason! This was unbelievable for the young child, she just didn't know how to process it all at once!

"I think you're scaring him..." Terra's voice would say within Callie's mind as she paused for breath in between her huge rambling question-pocalypses. "Maybe if ya calmed down a bit he could actually answer some of those questions you're screaming out, nehehe."

With a deep inhale, Callie would try her best to not just keep exploding from her excitement, yet she didn't know for how long she could hold it all in...

Callie would take another deep breath in, twitching slightly from the excessive amount of adrenaline that was circling her body but not being allowed to use. "I... I..." Gah! Trying to talk without suddenly bursting into infinite lines of questions was so difficult! How did normal people do this!? "Y-your..." The girl would point at Zavie's hood with one hand, roughly around the place on his head she thought she saw his ears. "Those! Under your hood!" She'd try desperately to explain, her brain working in over time just to try to form a coherent sentence. "B-before your hood appeared! I-I swear I saw ears just like mine!" She'd say, pulling down her own hood so that her fox ears were on show, flicking her left ear to emphasis on what she was talking about. Zavie already knew about them anyway, and no one would be able to see them here so it wasn't necessary to hide them.

Callie would practically gush at the sight of Zavie's ears. "I can't believe you're just like me!" The girl would say with the utmost glee, throwing herself forward to give Zavie a big hug. "Of course I wont tell anyone! I'm not someone who doesn't know what usually happens when people find out! We can keep this as our super duper secret!" Any and all things that Callie had originally came over here to talk to Zavie about where long gone from her head and quite honestly didn't even slightly matter anymore in comparison. "You have a tail too! Ahhh! You have one just like a cat! Oh my god that's so adorable!" In a slight rush that ended up with her hurting herself slightly, Callie would also remove her tail from its awkward position to be in full view, which with her current excitement and the fact it was free now would allow it to start wagging back and forth rapidly with how happy she was. "Yup! I got one too, but mine looks a lot different from your one, my ones more like a fox's tail! Just like what Terra has!"

"Aww, not even 8D?" Callie would say with a teasing smile before nodding. "I promise, no one will ever find out unless you give the word its okay! I'd say do the same for me, but 8D already knows about mine. No telling any other soul though!" She'd agree cheerfully, it was a shame he didn't want 8D to know too, she would of loved to see his reaction to it! But a promise was a promise, and for as long as Zavie wanted to keep it a secret from people she'd hold up her end of the secret! She was just super glad she managed to catch him out and see them for herself.

"I really like it! It's really cute and it suits ya! Don't listen to your mum or dad, they're amazing!" She'd say, fussing over Zavie's tail, watching it move around as if she had to keep an eye on it at all times to keep it being real. "Do you like mine? Mine's all fluffy and stuff!" She'd turn around to look at her own and embarrassingly notice how wildly it was wagging behind her. "Hehe, mine always does that when I'm happy or excited." She'd say, blushing lightly. "It's really hard to keep still sometimes when I have to keep it hidden away!"

At that moment, Terra would appear on Callie's shoulder, intrigued by how happy this whole event was making Callie and wanting to take a look with his own eyes. "Neheh, you change your hosts appearance too I see?" Terra would say aloud, directing his words towards Proxy. "How interesting, you figured out why that happens yet? I've been stumped on it for ages."

"A cat? That does make a lot of sense as to why they're different! Do you think there are anymore people like us? I didn't think there was more than just me before today, what if there are loads of them all hidden about!" She'd daydream the thought that one day there would be this big reveal that loads of people had animal like ears and that all of them would be accepted as normal people and didn't have to hide away anymore! Yet that was all just wishful thinking. "C-can I... Touch them?" She'd ask timidly, suddenly feeling the urge to see how different his were from her own. "To, uhm... Compare fluffiness!"

"Okay." Callie would reply simply, she knew how hard it was to reveal a huge secret like that they both shared to someone, the fear of not knowing how they'd react and the constant worry that everything could just go wrong or they'd tell everyone and you wouldn't be able to go anywhere or do anything anymore was horrible! It made sense he was being careful, she usually was too. Yet they both managed to slip up and reveal it to each other... They should both probably work on that more. "You tell 8D whenever ya ready, and if you never are we can just keep it between us. Kay?"

The girl would giggle happily as Zavie analyzed the pairs tails, she'd always thought that Zavie was cute but all of this just made it ten times better. "Maybe? That would make sense that they grow with you if everything else does! I'm pretty sure my tail wasn't this long when I was younger." She'd say, running her hand through her own tails fur. "Although I dunno if mine is actually longer than yours, yours is pretty long ya know! Mine just looks big cause of all the fluff on it!" She'd explain, showing the fact of how much fluff was on it with how far her hand sunk into its fur when she ran her hand along it.

"Well, no I never did it intentionally either. It was just a side effect of the whole process. Yet it seems to make Callie happy despite the problems it can cause, so it's not all bad. Whatever makes her happy is good enough for me, nehehe." The small fox shadow would reply, finding it kinda weird to be talking to a set of beads in a boys hair but eh, he's done and seen weirder things.

"If it's okay with you that is!..." The girl would add, herself too feeling kinda weird about it after saying it out loud. She was just curious about how fluffy they were, why did seeing Zavie blush like that to her request make her feel funny? Yet in a way it made her want to even more so when he did eventually nod his head she'd slowly inch herself forward so that she was within arms length of the boys ears. "I'll be gentle!" She assured him as she carefully reached out to touch the boys cat ears. They were all fluffy like hers! Yet he was right, they weren't quite as so as her own, they were still super cute though. She'd giggle to herself as she scratched behind Zavie's ears in the way 8D did with her. "You were right, hehe, yours aren't quite as fluffy as mine. They're still super adorable though! Do you want to feel mine too?"

"I never properly measured mine either, that would be really hard to do properly! I just tend to play with it every so often when I'm at home and bored, and from what I remember I'm pretty sure its gotten bigger over the years." She'd explain as she continued to run one of her hands through the fluff of her tail. It was nice to be able to, it always ended up feeling super cramped and horrible by the end of the day if she had to keep her tail tucked away and hidden all day. It was nice to be able to let it be free to move and stuff for a while!

"Huh?" The fox would seem confused by the other shadows response, they weren't forcibly fused? Then how did it end up happening? Surly there must've been something or someone at work for it to happen, it can't just happen out of the blue for no reason can it? Although, Terra could tell by the way Proxy was talking that he wasn't going to get much information out of her. "You're not, gonna elaborate on that. Are ya?" He'd ask, might as well passively ask and hope for the best for curiosities sake.

Callie would smile, glad to see that Zavie was clearly enjoying the fact she was scratching his ears as he leant closer to her hand. She knew he'd like it! That was what 8D did all the time and it always felt really nice when he did it to her! "H-huh?" The girl would seem just as confused as the boy was when the purring sound came out, she'd pull her hand away as he suddenly jumped back and looked all flustered. She'd sit there for once on the receiving end of the none understandable blabbing of someone who was too panicked to know how to construct sentence. All the while smiling to herself, little connections of adorable events making links within her mind all with one end thought in her head. "That wasn't rude! That was just like what I said happens when I get happy and my tail starts wagging, hehe. If you really do take after a cat shadow then you must show happiness like cats do! By purring!"
