How sweet of this fox to want to carry the moon with him everywhere. The moon does get awfully lonely being up there in the sky, all alone.

[ Talking like this definitely seems to help. Mikazuki is less pensive than he had been when he first cracked that door open. In fact, he's trying (and failing) to stifle back a laugh. All these fox and moon metaphors are so charming, they should do this more often. ]

Ah, then I should look and act my best to impress all of the fox spirits so they can't refuse me? If they're anything like my little fox here then I'll bring plenty of aburaage.
