Still terrified by far, Edwyrd did his best to hold that smug face he had seen many a foxy have in the past. Not that he had much practice it at it since Lavi never let him act like this but he did his best regardless. Had to keep up impressions and make sure that he wasn't about to get beaten black and blue by the guards. That and keeping his tail under control, which he managed as Valaria soon found his picture in her book of noble families and the like.<br/><br/>Pointedly not breathing a sigh of relief, he certainly felt more relieved as she admitted to his identity before began looking through the regulations. It was the first time that his family name had ever come in use, since before he was just an errand boy for his Mistress. It felt...nice.<strong>"Of course. Do whatever you must</strong>," he replied in his best haughty manner.<br/><br/>He waited patiently, glancing between the guards present as Valaria finished her search and put away her booklet. Yet he couldn't have expected the thrill that came with her announcement. So apparently what he was doing wasn't a crime after all, and he was to instead be rewarded with being able to do whatever he wanted to the squad that had shown up to investigate? He knew that the city was advantaged towards foxies but he had no idea that it was quite that biased!! (Then again he'd never read the guard rules so there was no way to know that)<br/><br/><strong>"But of course. I'm sure you all knew that when you arrived. In which case I must thank you for sticking around for me like good guards,</strong>" he replied with a smug look as he folded his arms across his chest. It was like all the weight was lifted off his shoulders, and he had to stop himself from dancing right there. Instead he just fidgeted a bit, but it definitely showed in his tail. It was certainly fun to watch their reactions as they blushed and whimpered and began to strip out of their armor for him, showing off their nice puppy bodies in the process. There was plenty to enjoy there.<br/><br/>Ignoring Lavi for the moment, he took a step forward as Valaria urged him to do whatever he wanted to them all. She seemed quite eager and very shameless as she sold out her squad mates without hesitation. They probably didn't appreciate that but what could they do? The rules were the rules.<strong>"Of course, I'm definitely going to take you up on your offer. The rules are the rules after all,</strong>" he replied with a hum as he thought over what it was that he wanted to do to them. So many possible options, he could barely wait!<br/><br/>With a nod, he moved towards the back of the store so they could enter the lab.<strong>"Go get your friend from out front and then follow m</strong>e," he directed, gesturing towards the front door. After the look she'd given him before, he figured it wouldn't be fair if she missed out on the fun. While they did that he brought the rest of them into the lab, making sure nothing had been misplaced in the search they had been doing as he considered what he wanted to try first. It was time to really show what he could do
