Cunning as a fox

Humans are a strange lifeform. Believe me, I know. I've been watching them for most of my life.

How they manage to not be extinct is beyond me.

First, they make a lot of noise. They shouldn’t be able to hunt anything, and to be honest, I've never seen one of them hunt. Then again they don’t seem to need to, their food just appears magically out of bags or baskets.

Second, it's a miracle that they manage to produce any offspring at all since they're mostly doing it wrong. How do they expect to reproduce by rubbing their bellies together? Someone should seriously explain mating to them. No, don't look at me! Although I have had countless vixens and fathered dozens of litters.

Third, they have to wear additional fake fur because they don't have their own.

Fourth, they are diurnal, which is suspicious in itself.

There are of course a few exceptions that help me to not lose hope.
One of those is called John and the other either Idiot or Sherlock. Haven't figured that one out yet. They only come out at night and they at least copulate back to front, although they usually remain upright.

All in all I'd say these two are probably on the upper end of the intelligence scale. If you only count bipeds.


Next 221b: Slash and burn

AN:
The prompt was 'basket'.

FYI:
This series now has a title (An almost gravitational pull) and will be renamed eventually! I'm going to mention it a few times so that everybody has a chance to see it and not be confused. ;)

I am completely not sure where basket comes in but oh I really like this. And the part where the other one is called either Idiot or Sherlock...well your ears would be stinging if you'd heard the loud, spontaneous sound I made upon reading that.

This is wonderful.

You see but you do not observe. :P

That fox is an intelligent guy. This made me laugh.

And now I really do wonder where John and Sherlock spent their time when a fox could be "entertained" by them ...

By the way, why only "almost" gravitational pull? :)

Since neither of them actually is a physical force, it's only 'almost'.
I also think it sounds better.

For reasons I don't really understand I now have Lenka - Everything At Once stucked in my head...

I always thought that I wanted to be a fly on their wall, but this little guy has a lot of interesting things to tell :D
