How long has it been since he had been compiled? Well, the exact specifics would have been 25 days. correct. Ever since, Symlink has come to meet his father, be enrolled in school, take power classes, living in a family. But in no moment he was ever alone, even when that seemed to be the case. Whenever someone came too close, they could feel something or rather SOMEONE watching them from close. Of course, whenever the kit is, the father fox is around... And Symlink knew that.

Symlink knew so well his father was around that he would every now and then look back to something that was always out of place: A trash can, a bench, a streetlight, a squirrel with glowing ears and tail, you name it. But what did Symlink come in the park for? He would see an animal, copy its form, try to do the same thing they did. Sometimes he would succeed completely, because it wasn't hard to mimic a dog or a cat, but as birds he'd fly out of control and be caught by an "eagle" that would take him to safe ground, for an example.

Sometime later, he rested at a bench, sipping boxed juice. And yes, the bench was an odd one out, the only one with speakers coming out of the back rest.

It was entirely normal for Sushi to wander around on his own. He would often visit the Community Center around this time, but today he took a detour and arrived at the park. That’s when he caught a glimpse of someone shapeshifting, kinda like what Violet could do.

He made himself invisible, keeping quiet and watching happily from afar until the show came to a stop.

With that, Sushi wanted to go meet the boy, making his way over to the bench. He was still invisible when he first spoke. “Hello.” His voice came out of a speaker that sounded kind of like a walk-in talkie.

Quickly realizing that the other kid probably couldn’t see him, he made himself visible again shortly after. Repeating what he said. “Hello.”

At first, Symlink looked around and asked the bench "Did you say something, dad?", but the bench responded through its speaker with a natural sounding "Nope, that wasn't me.", Neon increasing his caution a bit without breaking his disguise. The fox kid with robotic ears and tail however seemed unphazed, and continued to sip his juice calmly.

Until Sushi appeared. Even then, he did not overreact in any way, and responded with an equal (or perhaps a lot more cheerful) "Hello!", and shortly after it was the bench's turn to say "Oh, so it was you. Hi there, don't mind me, I'm just a bench."

“I am Sushi.” The fish kid announced as he tilted his helmet to face the bench. “It is nice to meet you.” It really wasn’t too out of the ordinary at this point for him to randomly walk up to strangers and introduce himself.

What was out of the ordinary was the talking bench. “Benches can talk?” Callie had never told him that they could, she only ever said that they were for sitting on. And he’d never heard one talk before now either.

"And I'm Symlink!", the fox boy responded, followed by the bench replying "Neon Moth here, nice to meetcha.". Symlink gave a giggle at Sushi's surprise just to soon inform "This is not a bench, it's dad.", standing up to give time for the bench to reveal its form as a huge white fox with glowing green paws, the tips of ears and tail, laying down lazily with a half smug expression.

Symlink then sat down against the stomach of the large fox. "See? We're foxes!", that was his merry response to just exposing their nature like that. Then again, what was the point of hiding their true self in Manta Carlos?

“You can be a bench?” Sushi watched in awe as the bench transformed into a fox. A much bigger fox than any one he’d seen before at that. Violet could become a fox too but she was usually smaller.

“This fox is your dad?” Sushi hadn’t actually met a dad before, not that he knew of at least. “Can I touch them?” He looked awfully soft, making Sushi want to touch his fur.

"I can be a lot of things if I want.", Neon replied, "Just kept the disguise to let my son be comfortable with his own practice.", and it was likely due to his foxlike expression, or the fact he had been relaxing around, but that came out a bit smug.

With nods to Sushi's queries, Symlink and Neon confirmed and agreed to let Sushi step closer to feel his soft, extra fluffy and warm winter fur. "I'm still learning to transform, but it's hard.", Symlink commented.

As soon as he got approval, Sushi reached a hand out. His hands weren’t really all that visible from beneath his raincoat, but once he reached out, one of them poked out from the sleeve. At first he lightly patted Neon, then he started petting him. “Soft.” He didn’t exactly show any sign of stopping any time soon as he continued.

When he heard Symlink, his head turned a little to face him. “I saw you. You are good.”

"Yeah, right? My fluffiness reached 300% this winter! I wonder what will be in the next...", there was no denying Neon was proud of how soft his fur was. "Dad is super warm to sleep on without blankets. I too have a warm and fluffy coat like in my fox form.", Symlink and Neon had been both wagging their tails gently at the compliments.

Neon couldn't help but notice how interesting Sushi's suit was, but it was Symlink who made a statement about it: "Your suit is quite cool. You do a lot of diving?"

Finally, Sushi stopped petting Neon, content with the lengthy amount of time he got.

Diving was a word that Sushi had heard before but it took a moment for him to remember what it was. Diving was where people would go deep in the water. “Yes, I was always diving before I got this helmet.” He wasn’t particularly aware that his helmet was modelled off of an old scuba helmet, or that people would wear a suit to go underwater.
