A pause as he considered this. Had this been years ago no animal would have been at his table unless being served. He looked upon the small fox and how his son had bonded with it. He knew it couldn't really be helped at this point. "Yes, but he will be on the floor and a bowl will be provided for him. He will not have a chair and you will sit proper at the table," he said as a final answer to this issue.
And the other question- How should he even answer it? He was worried how to even tell his son about that much less how he felt about the girl, or she lived with them. He was sure his son could smell her scent more often then not, but he knew eventually he'd have to come clean he had hoped for a bit more time to allow them to bond. He also knew he was taking to long to answer which wasn't helping his case at all as he pondered this all out.
"I...She.... Yes she is staying with us, so you can expect to see her around," he said after a long pause. Even he felt the awkwardness there.
