[This is probably where Hikaru apologizes but that requires more emotional security. He knows he probably shouldn't have snapped at a little girl so he guesses being friendly to her from now on should be close enough to an apology.]

Ah...it's fine. We're probably all pretty fed up with being in this caravan for so long anyway. [Hikaru's kitsune yips once, putting his paws on Hikaru's legs and looking at him and then sitting down in front of Alice, looking at her before yipping again.]

Sorry, I have no idea what she's saying. I don't speak fox yet.
