Still in her more than provocative cloths the two-tailed vixen named Janice, who used to be your best bud Jake, accompanied you to a lavish bedroom, big enough to contain your whole apartment and some, and changed the bedsheets, chatting with you all the while. It was clear that she was almost back to being your friend, thanks to the mysterious six-tailed rescuer.
Albeit she now was a foxy-anthropomorphic version of said friend, and a quite female one. Not only that, but you could see love and longing in her regard each time she looked at you.
She was about to go out when you called her back. "Ja Janice," you said, almost calling her Jack "You can sleep here, with me, if you wish, like old times."
"I'm not so sure it's a good idea, Tommy. We both need time to process how much our lives changed and what it mean for us. Plus having you near me, with how I feel about you
"
You wanted to kick yourself for not thinking of it, but instead choose to simply say "I understand. Good night Janice."
"Good night, Tommy."

The next day, you were woken up by Janice who now wore a traditional kimono, it looked so good on her it blew your mind. "Wow."
Her fur might have hidden her blush, there was other telltale signs of how your eloquent reaction affected her. "Er
Th thanks!"
Once you both found your senses back, she pursued. "Let me guide you to the nearest bathroom so you can clean up, clean cloths are already there for you. Once your cleaned I'll escort you to breakfast. You better be on your best behavior, it seem the empress will be there, it seem she took a personal interest in our case." You didn't know what to say.

You were glad you were given a classic jeans + t-shirt combo, not sure you would have been able to put on a sophisticated kimono like the one Janice wore, but it was now time to face the empress. Fearing to appear disrespectful of the kitsunes' supreme ruler, and of what consequences it would have, as soon as you were in front of her you bowed as low as you could, soon followed by Janice who seemed just as unsure of the proper protocol.
"My, my, how respectful. You can rise, you two. Come eat before the meal become cold." The empress looked like the fox equivalent of an kind old lady, a reassuring smile grassing her muzzle.
