Gideon finally decided he wasn't going to let the rabbit go to waste and started to eat it. He couldn't figure it out. Why would a vixen leave him a meal? So deep in thought and eating, he didn't hear any one walk up on him. That is until someone said," Um, excuse us..." He jumped up into the air, landed hunched over, ears down and tail poofed out. He stood like that to assess the threat. He caught wind of the fox's scent. It was the vixen that had left the rabbit. "I'm sorry! I thought it was left for me. You can have it back." Gideon said apologetic. He looked at his den, could he make it before they attacked.
Arran giggled at him a little, she found him absolutely beautiful and funny.
Andorra watched him act like they were a threat. She calmly said, "That rabbit was for you. We mean you no harm. We just wanted to ask you a question."
Gideon straightened out his posture at her words. "Why? I mean why would you want to ask me a question? Okay and why did you leave the rabbit?" He really wanted to know.
Andorra smiled at the albino fox with the silver eyes and said, " You are the male that owns this territory and we would like to live here. The rabbit was a peace offering. That's all. I'm Andorra and my coyote friend here is Arran. Your name would be?"
Gideon looked at them confused. NAME! He told himself. " Um...Gideon? I mean, my name is Gideon." He thought a moment then said, " I don't care if you live in my territory. Just don't harass me. If you can live by those rules, then okay. You can live here."
Andorra smiled at him with gratitude. "Thank you Gideon! You won't regret it." She said before she made to leave. But stopped when she noticed that Arran was staring at him hard." Arran! Stop that!" She demanded.
Arran recovered and looked back at her friend, "What? I didn't do anything." She said defensively.
Gideon watched them leave, puzzled. He said to himself ? "Well that's never happened before." He walked back to the rabbit to finish it. It would be rude not to honor their gift. That and he was pretty hungry.
