Kat sighed as he heard the elf's question, still lacking a name for her "My my, you are young, never to have heard of the kitsune." he said leaing back on a tree as he sat down, sending a slight illusion over the two girls, an image of a single tailed fox, "Kitsunes, so the story most races believe, are foxes that have managed to survive for a century, rising to a more spiritual level, gaining vast intellect once they do," he said, morphing the fox into something more humanoid, looking exactly like Kat save for three less tails, "Each century we survive, we gain a tail, each one giving us more intellect and power, or we can gain them through the blessing of Inari, though that is rare with less and less religious kitsunes around now." He told them, adding tails as he continued, stopping at nine, "the most that have ever been acquired has been nine, though no one is sure as to why that is, even if the kitsune lives for another century.Though some speculate that the ones who do have achieved a higher plane of spirituality, and have ascended as a god," he told them, a tenth tail starting to form before it seemed to vanish,  "We have a few abilities, our main ones being illusion and fire," he saidm pausing for a moment before smiling, "There's more I could tell you, but one of a Kitsune's favorite things is to hoard information, so you'll have to figure out the rest on your own."
