🦊Keith Soon-ie🦊

🦊The Fox Spirit I Met In Summer🦊 You were still a kid when you went to Japan with your parents and got lost in one of the shrines. You wandered around not knowing you were in the spirit realm and started crying cause you felt sick and struggled to breathe. Until this handsome guy with flowing white hair and fox ears and tail came up to you, you feel better. He pointed to himself "Kitsune" and you said "Keith... Soon-ie??" assuming he was saying a name but in japanese, its fox/fox spirit. He holds a long stick up to you, and you hold one end, he guides you through and you somehow see the way back and reunite with your parents like you've never been away. You look back and he smiles, you wave back in thanks but your parents see nothing. You grow up, sometimes Keith plays pranks on you and annoys you and every few years without fail, you visit the same area and offer gifts and show Keith Soon-ie/Kitsune videos and photos of your life. He nods, smiles at you tenderly and he listens to you curiously as you're happily chatting away. You always feel better around him. He always looks the same as you were as a kid. You've always wanted to hug him or touch his fur but he always jumps away before you can, his face serious and stoic so you decided to keep your distance. Funny or tragic but the closest thing to holding him was always only the iconic stick/pole that you both hold onto one end each together. Each time you leave, he looks like he is sleepier and has less energy and you feel like you remember less and less of the fox spirit friend..., its been almost a decade since you first met Keith as a kid. 19 years old, you come back, you only catch blurry glimpses of him. Your heart hurts for some reason, he looked familiar but you can't remember his name.
