Restless

Diligo thought back to his own parents, and to his old home. His eyes once again filled with a sort of passion.

"Keep him? We certainly shall." He said. He pulled something out of a jacket pocket, a sort of meat he had personally taken. It was that day that he found the animal dead in the forest, and though he did not eat the once soulful himself, he didn't want anythings efforts to go to waste. Foxes though, had no choice in these matters, he realized. He offered the food to the cub.

"What shall we name him... or her?" Diligo asked Sagari.

"Redundant, maybe, but it fits." Diligo replied. He nodded his head in approval and sat down with the cub and Sagari.

"I've never had the chance to raise anything before... I suppose I'm just behind on a lot of things in life; but I'm always willing to do my best, yes." Diligo said to the now Lorne. He looked at Sagari.

"I'm afraid that means I'll hardly be able to help in many ways, but I'm sure I'll catch on soon enough."

"Yes" Diligo simply agreed, for their was nothing more he could add to this. He wasn't exactly sure what adorable was, but he was certain this fox was the most fitting towards the word.

"Hey, I just now noticed, where are we going to keep him?" He said. "I'd keep him at my place, but thing is, I don't actually own a place yet." Diligo decided not to ask about 'Arty' just yet. It would be more interesting to find out someday.

"Well then, it'll be fine. I'll search around, and until then, I'll keep him with me. If he doesn't mind, of course." Diligo took Lorne and scooped the sleeping fox into his arm.

"Look at that, it truly is getting dark now." Diligo said to Sagari. The sky indeed was beginning to glitter with stars. "The forest... It really is as radiant at night as they say."

Diligo turned his head to look into Sagari's eyes, and though he said nothing, it seemed apparent Diligo was not against Sagari's actions. The light was reflecting on the girl's eyes, and Diligo was surprised how much they shone with radiance.

"The stars amaze me" Diligo said. "Everything is so grand in the vast cosmos, and here's humanity, is the midst of it all."
