Holding his fingertip out in front of him, the data-fox of orange and brown hues smiles down at his 'lil blue wuff, leaning in, even closing an eye to help focus...

"Lemme get a closer look.. goodness, you ARE small!"

Sitting back upright, tail swishing happily, he doesn't miss a beat, holding his hand up to illustrate as he talks, voice raising slightly with excitement.

"But, y'know.. what if you were.. even littler? I mean, good things come in small packages, and it'd be sooo easy - just like pinching my fingers!"

And, true to his word, the fox playfully presses his finger and thumb together. Much to his delight and wuff's slight surprise, down.. down.. down.. a wuff goes, cheered on by this fox's friendly, eager voice.

"Smaller.. smaller.. and smaller still! Heheh, gosh, this is so much fun!"

The looming vulpine can't help but let loose a cheery chuckle, smiling wider at his affectionate accomplishment, a teeny-tiny wuff - his wuff! - shrunken down to a tiny speck on his fingertip. Nearly invisible to the eye.. but certainly still present, the ticklish nature of that leathery, gray padded fingertip ensuring he can still follow wuff's presence through touch.

Still, maybe he moved a tad too quickly this time, he should give wuff a moment to catch breath...

"Don't fret, I can still bring ya right back with a flick of my fingers - like this. But, maybe a little smaller..."

And with that trailing remark, wuff would be in for a long night of shortness, snuggles, and silliness ahead. Who needs to fret over the worries of the world when you've got a friend to BECOME your world..?
