And with that out of the way...
Oh, I'm very excited about this one! Yes yes, our lovely vixen is finally going to get that much-needed 'proper' reunion with my favorite radiant fire-wielding fox. I don't think I need to tell you what I mean by 'proper', fu fu!
Ah but watch our Elias, your wife is an old fashioned fox, after all, candy and flowers might not be enough to coax her, oh no I think things might have to get a little more... direct~

Episode 11:
The best is yet to come
The moonlight basked down over the swaying blades of grass in the small clearing. My ears were folded as I listened to the ghostly babble of the small brook that cut through the area. This was one of my favorite locations on our property and one of the last places we made love before we parted.
His scent reached my nose before I heard his approach. I turned to face him, folding my arms over my stomach as he stopped several yards from me. We stayed like that for several quiet moments, just staring upon one another. We had shared small tokens of affection since that night, some hand-holding and a few kisses, but nothing substantial.
"Alice, Katrina, and even our brother. You partook of so much love while I remained in my solitude of madness." I placed a finger to my chin as I spoke the words. I wore some blue jeans and my faux leather jacket, with sturdy looking boots. It was obvious I had not requested his presence for a romp of lovemaking in the grass.
"I have no excuses, nor do I apologize for my actions. I still thought of you every day and longed for you." The white fox growled the words, his own arms folded over his strong chest. He had assumed the point of me calling him here, his own attire of sturdy denim pants with a t-shirt and boots.
"Did you think of me while you made love with them?" I showed my teeth, growling the words as my eyes narrowed.
His own eyes narrowed as he shook his head. "I would not disrespect them or you like that."
The answer satisfied me and I nodded. "Things in me have changed, Elias. I feel desires and emotions I've never so firmly grasped." I looked away and clicked my tongue. "I intend to speak with Lorelai about long-overdue feelings between us."
"That's a reasonable thing to do." He nodded and shifted to move his hands into the pockets of his jeans, staring upon me intently.
"So you give me your blessings in that venture?" I gave him a curious look, my ears lifted to peaks.
"I did not know you needed it." He shrugged and flicked his snow-white tail a few times before setting me with a strong look. "You are your own fox, Sarnai. What kind of husband would I be to restrict you, especially after finding myself in the situation I am in now with multiple lovers."
"You say husband, but do you see a ring on my hand?" I held my palm up to show my ringless finger to him.
"So return it to its proper place," The fox spoke the words casually as he pulled the two necklaces he wore out of his shirt, one was a small maroon gem encased in gold, the other a set of two golden rings on a small chain.
Ears folding I frowned at his display. "How long have you worn that?"
"Every day since you had Lorelai return your ring to me," Elias spoke the words confidently before looking upon me and tilting his head. "Are you surprised?"
"In truth... I am not." I growled and pushed my palm to my face, shaking my head. "Elias... I've changed so much..."
"As have I in this last half-century or so. However, my love for you has not," He growled the words and clenched his fist. "I've never given up on you Sarnai, and that includes my marriage with you."
I shook my head and gave a bitter laugh. "The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?" Thrusting my hand out I growled the next words towards the fox, "What if I only agree to it if you cast the others out? Isn't marriage intended to be monogamous?"
"Would that truly satisfy you, Sarnai?" Elias tilted his head curiously.
"Just answer me, Elias!" I barked the words and set him with a glare.
