Mm. I've known him for a great deal of my life. He's much older than I am, however.
[ eepy old man... ]
I'm no immortal, and have no desire to be. Foxians are just a long lived race - around three hundred years is the typical, though I've known some to reach another century after that through pure willpower, and healthy living.
[ Sincerely. He supposes it's true that he doesn't usually ask for return... he also just wouldn't know what to ask for anyway. Also wow tail wag... reads other people's emotions. ]

If you ever need help with anything...

It's kind of you to offer.
[ that's very genuine. ]
I'll be fine, but I'll keep your offer in mind.

You're a kind soul, Marcoh, offering to help with no promise of anything in return.

Have you been able to keep busy here?

It's spacious, so I go on runs. The indoors are small, but there's a lot of places to be.
I can keep an eye out while I stay moving.

[ for what... ]

Changes, people. Weather.
[ Just the broad yet little things. ]
