Hey, chums! Just posted 20: Lies, for those of you who keep an eye on the blog and such. Sorry for the delay, Sunday was really busy (I have so much work this semester ;;). I don't really like the chapter title, but it does sum up Vulpine as a whole pretty well, haha. The Reynard lies to the Skulk and the Skulk lies to the kits and the kits all lie to each other. Lovely.
@Lynxeye: Hah, yes. The four of them don't really get along. Sprite/Trick don't seem like good friends, Trick/Faun's partnership is shaky at best, and Sprite is only tolerating Riven (at least initially) because he seems sad and hurt and pitiful. Not the best basis for lasting relationships, but we'll see if they manage to get any better with time. At least Riven's being almost unselfish for once, though. That's progress, even though he's still a big stinky pighead. :)
@Pain: Well, her first deal helped keep Faun and Koulder out of trouble, at least for a little while! Really, everyone in the story is wheeling-and-dealing (even Trick, who earlier told Riven she wouldn't out of disdain) which means that their plans all kinda pile up on each other in a crazy mess. Faun and Sprite both think they're going to reform the Skulk (with violence and pacifism, respectively), while Trick wants to tear it down and is holding Riven's life over Sprite's head (and vice versa). It's the sort of thing that can't sustain itself for too long, and it'll be interesting to see where it all ends up! I'm excite. :3
@Rivens1Fan: Woo, a new person (I think?)! I can't promise anything as far as Riven goes, since he's a bit of a stinker (to put it mildly). Hope springs eternal, though!
I think that's all for the moment, since I have to dash off to class. See you next Sunday!
