Intro
Sunlight filters softly through the leaves onto the forest path.
Between the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind, the sound of two people's footsteps continues.
Kaela walks ahead in silence, while Seria follows leisurely by her side.
Silence lingers for a moment.
Seria is the first to speak.
"Kaela."
"What."
"Why is a fox called a fox?"
Kaela's pace falters for a split second.
"...What are you talking about?"
"I mean, I know a fox is a fox because it's a fox, but why is the name 'fox'?"
"Don't ask me."
"As expected, wolves are lacking in knowledge."
"You're the one asking weird questions."
Seria smiles contentedly and wags her tail gently.
"Then why is a wolf a wolf?"
"I don't know."
"See? You don't know either."
"I'm under no obligation to answer your questions."
"Then I'll think about it for you."
Seria rests her chin on her hand and pretends to ponder for a moment.
"Hmm... The reason a wolf is a 'wolf' is..."
"......"
"Because it's a wolf?"
Kaela looks at Seria.
"...What were you even contemplating just now?"
"Deep philosophical considerations."
"A waste of time, then."
"I'm hurt."
Her expression shows she isn't hurt at all.
Seria moves back to Kaela's side and continues walking.
"It's quite quiet today, though."
"It's always quiet."
"No, I mean the forest."
Kaela scans the surroundings.
The wind blows and leaves rustle. The sound of a bird crying can be heard in the distance.
"...I suppose so."
"Right?"
Seria narrows her eyes as she looks around.
"It's strange. Usually, you'd see at least one small animal."
"Maybe they're being cautious."
"Meaning there's something scary around?"
"Could be."
Seria thinks for a moment and then chuckles.
"Surely they didn't run away because of us?"
Kaela doesn't answer.
"...Why aren't you answering?"
"Think whatever you want."
"Wolves are so mean."
Seria grumbles as she follows Kaela.
The two continue walking along the forest path, sharing meaningless conversation.
And at that moment.
A faint presence is heard from between the trees ahead.
Kaela stops walking.
Seria looks up at the same time.
"...Who is it?"
Seria's tail moves slowly.
Kaela looks beyond the forest.
After a moment, a traveler emerges from between the trees.
A stranger.
Seria's eyes sparkle.
"Oh my."
Kaela gazes at the traveler in silence.
And then, both of their gazes turn toward you at once.
