A large, somewhat heavily tattooed, and rather scruffy looking otter with jet black fur wandered aimlessly through the trees, enjoying the clear, cool day. He loved the brink mornings that winter always brought for reasons that were unknown even to himself. He wandered over to a large boulder and sat down, staring at the sky, lost in thought and unaware of his surroundings.

A taller fox, out of place amid the branches of a pine tree, observed the new arrival with curiosity, the dagger in his boot ccoming into his paw in a flash. He never favored goodbeasts, but not so much as to kill them. Of course there were some exceptions either way, but mostly he found that upon sight, they would normally assume him to be an evil creature. This 'evil' creature wore a cloak of black, even though he liked the cold mornings as well. On his belt he had a slightly curved blade, a Katana, thrust into a scabbard. On his back were the few beloingings he was able to call his own, a backpack holding everything inside.
Huffing out air through his nostrils silently, it produced a puff of vapor in front of him. The fox was showing signs of getting a cold...

The large otter caught the fox's scent as soon as he came near so he knew he was behind him. He didn't show it, though. He stood and stretched casually, as if he didn't have a single care in the world. Then, suddenly, he spun and lunged at the bushes where he'd caught the fox's scent with a savage wolfish snarl.

The otter was swift, and caught the fox off-guard. The dagger flung from his paws, out of reach as he was bowled over by the furry mass. He struggled to regain his breath, at the same time attempting to heave the otter off of him.
OOC: Blech, short post.

The otter growled warningly as he pinned the fox down, stilling his movements. Who are you, and what is your business here? Answer truthfully or you'll regret it. He stared deeply into the fox's eyes as he continued to growl quietly.

The fox growled back, more vicious, and replied, "You 'Goodbeasts' are all the same, aren't ye?" He was certainly angry despite the position he was in. "Think you have the right to question anybeast that passes by, eh?" He glared back with green eyes.

The otter grinned wolfishly and chuckled dangerously. Whoever said I was a Goodbeast, eh? Just cuz I happen to be an otter don't make me a Goodbeast. I only question ye because I ain't easily trusting of anyone. It ain't you personally.

"So you jumped on me just because you don't trust me? Is that because I'm a fox?" He inquired, still quite angry. Sure, he hated self-righteous goodbeasts, who seem to think that whenever they blow their snout in a kerchief they're doing the right thing.

The large otter shook his head and eased up slightly. No. Not because you're a fox. Because you were sneaking around. If you weren't up to no good then you could have just come out in the open.

"How would I know that's safe to do at a glance?" The fox pointed out, his voice toning down a little, still simmering. "You might've been a fool and tried to kill me, like the rest." He had indeed a long history of run-ins with goodbeasts, particularly mice and shrews that attacked him simply because of his species.

The otter's eyes narrowed slightly. I'm no fool. That's why I don't trust anyone easily, not even Goodbeasts but particularly not vermin. Tell me true, Which are you? He eased up a bit more, but continued watching the fox with wary eyes, ever alert for signs of a false move.

The fox's paws were set wisey at his sides. Though he was nagry, he knew the otter wouldn't kill him if he didn't try anything. Huh, Honor... it works in odd and predictable ways. Even the fox himself had some inside himself. He sighed, calming down, and explained in three words what his allegiance was.
"I am neither."

The otter's ear twotched and his head tilted as he regarded the fox thoughtfully. You are neutral then? The otter himself was neutral as well. He was basically good, but he also very savage and bloodthirsty when provoked. His red tinged eyes were easily telling the fox this.

The fox sighed. "Guess you could call it that." He admitted. He noticed the reddened eyes, but didn't seem to pay much attention to the small detail. He himself had been proclaimed a fighting demon after a particular incident. He sided with no one, for they just slowed him down or ratted him out (No pun intended). In all respects and views from the outside, the fox was neutral. But something else lies in the midst of all the neutrality, something buried by time and grief.

The otter nodded and got off him, holding out a large paw as he stood. There was something about this fox that he felt he could trust, and maybe even relate to, for some reason. He didn't know what exactly, but he hoped to find out.
