Feeling his small movements of protest had made her feel bad but this was for the best they needed food and proper shelter and this was the only way. She trotted along the beach till the site of woods came into sight the town area they had been in was not very advanced or civil so they were near the forest.<span style="font-style: italic">Thank god</span>Eri thought to herself as she walked down the path. The scent of human was still strong there must have been a cottage nearby as she neared for she heard a horse whin and with that her ears went back and she hoped into a bush with the small fox in tow. The horse trotted by along the path, that was a good sign she could in the least steal some clothes. With the horse gone she continued down the path she came upon the cottage they had laundry  hanging on a line outside no one was in view and so in the bush she lightly put down the fox. She waited to do anything till he was aware of her next movements so that he didn't bolt and be lost from her safety.
