Only because I'm severely doubting your knowledge when it comes to fox courtship

Good

We have a deal then

[Well, if she's going to be like that, he could stand to be a bit cheeky.]

I am a very good student, and I have read the stories of the Renart with his wife. Shall I bring you a dead rooster sometime?

[... She can't very well resist a free chicken, now can she?]

Oh

That would be a very good start

Especially if his name starts with a C

Naughty, naughty, Ms. Renart! I'll leave the Chanticleer to his wives, I think. An unwedded cock would be kinder to his kin.

You're being too kind to a chicken

Regardless

You might not be a complete lost cause

What else would you do?

Perhaps I'll bring you the pelt of a wolf to decorate your den once you have one. Or steal a dog's bone for you to hide and tease with.

[She wants all those things..........]

That's a very good start

But there's more to it than just getting me things

Shall I imagine a silver comb to brush your hair and tail with, as well?

[W e l l that would be infinitely better than even a wolf pelt. There's just the matter of seeing whether he'd seriously do that for her.]

Could you even do that? One made of real silver?

[He hadn't been seriously offering, but now that he thinks about it...]

We're in the middle of a great sandstorm that would seem to make even the merest flights of fancy reality, Ms. Renart. I could certainly try.

[Best way to get on her good side. Of course, she's going to try and play this all detached and cool.]

You could try

I think that might be too complicated for you

Maybe you'll surprise me

[Oh, it's going to be like that, is it? He's far too familiar with Sibella and her wiles to fall for that.]

Perhaps so, and I do need a comb for my own hair. I might only have enough thought for one.

[Oh, this is just mean. She's really tempted to just use her mind control but... ugh, in the grand scheme of things using it for just a comb is so petty. And if she got into trouble she doesn't want it to be over something so paltry.]

If that's true then it'd be a waste using it for yourself

You're a Lord I'm sure you know what high quality fox fur feels like

My tail is even better than the highest quality

It deserves the best

[Well, he'd felt fox's fur... once. When Lord Adelbert had thrown the pelt he had at Monty. Monty's not about to mention as much.]

I can assure you that my hair is very high quality as well, Ms. Renart. I am an earl. But I'll imagine your comb for you, if you cannot do it yourself.

[She can't, sadly.]

Good

I'll even owe you for it

I would rather you didn't, Ms. Renart. Consider it a gift to truly apologize for pulling your tail.

[Huh, that's lucky on her part.]

If you're going to insist then alright

Once I get the comb you'll be forgiven
