Now to see if it played out.
The fox-critter sniffed at the Ninja Snax bar and edged a little closer.
"Eh?" asked Naruto. Well, it didn't look too threatening. "So, ya wanna bite of my Ninja Snax bar?"
"Yip (Yes)," said the fox-thing. "Vul! Vulpix! (That smells quite tasty. I am rather hungry.)"
"WHOA!" said Naruto, eyes wide. "You talked!"
"Vul vul vulpix," said the fox critter. (Well of course I talked, you asked a question after all.) The fox took the proferred bit of the Ninja Snax bar and chewed it thoughtfully. "Vulpix pix. VUL?!" (Tastes like nuts and grains with a touch of honey. Wait a minute, you UNDERSTOOD ME?)
"Well, yeah, I'm kinda reading your subtitles," said Naruto.
"Vul vul vulpix," said the fox critter, chewing thoughtfully. "Vul?" (You smell like you've got a bit of vulpix in you. As unlikely as that is. Are you eating the rest of that?)
"I got a few more of my own," admitted Naruto as he held out the rest of the bar.
"Vul vulpix pix," said the fox. (Good, I wouldn't want to take your last one. I'm a Vulpix by the way.)
"No name?" asked Naruto, being polite because he was still waiting for Hinata to wake up. "I'm Naruto, a ninja of Konoha!"
"Vulpix pix vulpix," said the Vulpix. (Not much need. I'm simply a Vulpix. It's been a bit of a dry season so the foraging isn't too good right now.)
"Huh," said Naruto. "Okay."
"Vulpix vul vul?" asked the Vulpix. (Is this your mate?)
"Uhm, well," said Naruto. "That isn't likely. She's a little weird but she's a friend, you know."
Hinata's eyes finished blinking open as what she'd just overheard penetrated. Naruto considered her a friend?
"Vul vul vul," laughed the fox. (That isn't how she's looking at you. heh heh heh.)
"Whatta ya mean?" asked Naruto, noticing that Hinata was awake and rubbing at the knot on her head.
"vulpix pix," said the Vulpix. (She's looking at you with the sort of gaze one looks at a prospective mate with.)
"Aw, that's crazy," said Naruto. "Right, Hinata?"
"Naruto, are you talking to that fox?" asked Hinata.
"Well, yeah," admitted Naruto. "Hinata, this is Vulpix. Vulpix, this is Hinata."
"Uhm, hello," said Hinata, wondering if she were hallucinating or in a genjutsu.
"Vulpix vul." (Pleased to meet you, mate of Naruto.)
"Ya might need one of these," said Naruto to Hinata, pulling another Ninja Snax bar out of his jacket.
