Week has passed, and outside viewer wouldn't notice anything special, but for the two arctic foxes it was different. Usually they have treated themselves as colleagues from the same workshop searching scraps for something valuable. This time though they were working together more frequent and actually enjoying the time together. Even if someone noticed, it would pass as a coincidence.
He hasn't answered immediately when she asked him if he would go watch her performance again. He was worried what someone else who knows them would come, but quickly discarded as an idea sparked in his mind.

She knew the "disclaimer" he was talking about. If not for it she wouldn't go there. Almost none of her audience has paid special attention to her tail when they had all of her femine features in plain sight, so she hasn't considered it a big deal. That's why she was more than surprised to hear that he would be delighted to give it a snuggle.

As usual, other males where taken and she could pretty accurately guess what they were doing after. She was left just with the fox of same kind as herself. For someone observing the room through the sensors it would be odd what has happened next, if he hadn't been informed before. Arctic foxy has wrapped her tail around the arctic male and he hugged it happily.
They stayed for the rest time enjoying each other presence. To her surprise, he got them wine and she adjusted the light to make better atmosphere. He really turned out to be a truly romantic type, the fact she gladly accepted. When they were about leaving he asked if this has been a fine date for her. He knew it was as she gave him a lick to the snout as a sign it was wonderful for her. She suggested that next time she would like to be only for him without others.

After time the bond between have tightened, which was obvious for others, but their little secret has been between them. With shared feelings and wonders about the past they're a fine loving couple.

THE END
