Chapter 159: The She-Fox
Nicklaus took a sniff of his armpit and he growled displeased at the smell, he really needed a bath. The smell was just so awful, how has he held up until now? Judging by his calculations it seems years have passed.
At the sudden sound like something dropped to the ground, he turned, his eyes narrowing.
"I know it you," Nicklaus said sternly, he knew it was no other than the Fox, she has always been watching him ever since he was here reading and studying, she thought she was doing a good job in hiding from his sight but she was not doing a good job at all, he could easily spot her anywhere, she was just too obvious. The library must have told her to watch over him, not that he minded, she should just do her job more professionally.
The Fox slowly came out of hiding, her tail swamping back and forth behind her. Nicklaus raised an eyebrow. She came forth at him but at close range she covered her nose with her paws, shaking her head.
Nicklaus realized he really does stink. With a nudge of her head, she signaled him to follow her.
Nicklaus gave her a prolonged stare not attempting to do so. The Fox sighed before rolling her eyes, well this fox has some attitude. She pointed her paw at him before waving it close to her nose, a sign meaning he really stinks and then she nudged her head.
"I see... you want to take me to a bath?"
She nods her head, grinning showing her fox teeth.
"Alright then... show me"
The Fox lead him through the lobby, Nicklaus had no idea where they were going, he seemed lost, they have made so many turns already that he couldn’t keep up, so he just followed the Fox closely, knowing if he do not he might get lost and never be found... that was a mere fact.
A medium-size door barged open and they strolled inside, the Fox had led him outside where a stream was in, the water spilling from the rocks, the grasses, and then up ahead, the snow season, the stream was a beautiful sight. And the moon was at its highest, full, and shone on the stream making it seem magical.
