"Ladies," said Syndi, her voice calm, her face studiedly neutral.
"Ladies," replied the Fox Woman. Her breath was richly perfumed with the smells of honey and decayed meat.
"Ladies," said Melanie, and would have shot finger-guns if Janet hadn't grabbed her hands.
Syndi closed her eyes and counted to ten.
"Foxy ladies," said Melanie, as Janet frantically hushed her.
"Melanie, I swear to the Lord of the Corn-"
"We come for husbands," said the Fox Woman apologetically.
Melanie's face, what could be seen of it behind Janet's muffling palm, fell.
"Aw," she said.
"Not many eligible bachelors left this season," said Syndi, pretending she hadn't heard. "A pack of she-wolves passed through and ate most of the dating pool."
"Oh," said the Fox Woman.
"Sorry."
The Fox Woman shrugged.
"It happens," she said. "We will try again next year, when the new litter is full-grown."
"You may want to adjust your timescales," said Syndi. "By about two decades."
