The fox looks down at you and smiles as he surveys your tiny humanoid frame, the nine tiny tails and the cute muzzle, the small triangle ears, and the white luscious fur. The anthropomorphication curse, the age regression curse, and the feminification curse all backfired.
"This will be interesting," He says to himself, and carries you over to a secluded area of the exhibit. Setting you down, he curls up around you. "Now, we will wait a few years..."

14 years later

It was just another day in the exhibit. Nothing was happening; nothing ever did. You were currently sitting upright in an old tree, your favorite spot, watching people walk lazily by and sometimes point at you. When they did, you would turn your head away, your 5 foot long white hair following your motion in a cascade like effect. When you walked, your hair almost touched the ground.
You couldn't wait until 6:00 until the keeper came, then you could haggle with him. Haggling with him was fun. Soro had taught you about haggling, but he never did it for some reason. Someday you would have to ask him.
Changing your position in the tree to one lying on your front, you moved some of the long hair out of your face and contemplated going to sleep in the tree. The tree was a nice place to escape the sometimes-harsh attitude of Soro.
You were closing your eyes and about to go to sleep when some visitors sobered you up quite a bit for a reason you couldn't explain. Only one other visitor had done this, and he had a gun with him and was waving it around exuberantly. These two people however, had nothing out-of-the ordinary about them. They simply were awakening. You saw the female look at you, point to the male, and then widen her eyes, perhaps in shock or some other reason. The male looked quizzically at the female, looked back at you. He narrowed his eyes, and then widened them again. No other visitors had acted this way. Passing it off as the weather, you calmed yourself down and went to sleep.
--
"Hey. Hey, Kora," Soro said from the ground, calling to you. Not wanting to be disturbed, you took a pear from the tree and lazily dropped it without even opening your eyes. A splat and a growl of displeasure assured you that it had the intended effect. "Well, perhaps you will wake up," upon saying that, he flung you to the ground with his power, "now." He finished.
Eyes flying open as you descended rapidly, you used your own powers to brake your fall, and made a soft landing on the ground.
"Yes?" you say to him annoyedly in your native tongue. You stood over him by about 3 feet, and sometimes it worked as an intimidation technique.
"There are some guys over there. They were here earlier." Soro answers. He was referring to the visitors that had acted so strangely. "They said something about recognizing you. I have no idea what they are thinking.”
After Soro finished his ramblings, you walked over to a place where you could see the people. Sure enough, they were the people from before, and they were talking to your keeper. The keeper wasn’t necessarily a burly or intimidating or the sharpest nail, but he knew his way around you and Soro. He had some sort of amulet that prevented our magic from happening around him, so we obeyed him. After a while of droning, your keeper held out a steak and said bluntly, “Koru, come here.” Unable to resist the temptation of steak, you went.
“Hi,” you said shyly to the strangers in their language, and grabbed the steak out of the keeper’s hands and bit down on it ravenously. The taste of it was delicious, and the smell enough to get Soro to come out. Unlike other times the keeper treated you with steak, you didn’t take your time to savor the flavor. Instead, you eyed the two people carefully, tails twitching. The female was black at the bottom, and a maroon color at the top. The maroon part had little lines that run vertically over her body. She was somewhat skinny, and you were about a foot taller than her. The man was about your height, had very little gray headfur, and was a dark blue on the bottom and lighter blue on top.
“Hello,” the female said softly. The male just grunted. Now it was the male and female’s turn to eye you carefully. It was uncomfortable to be under such scrutiny. You were ever so slightly slinking away from their gazes when your keeper gave you ‘the look.’ Unwillingly, you stayed. They started talking to you and asking questions while you ate the steak, but you weren’t paying attention until they said something that snapped you quite suddenly back to reality. What did they say?
