Isa could understand how Disturbed Mac was about this Experience. OF course, it was normal for Isa to have such kinds of connections to others because of her Nature as a Symbiotic Lifeform. But these are of course things that she wouldn't tell Mac as it would be too dangerous for Isa to Show her True Colors. She still had the Consequences in Mind as she was Exposed the Last time and this was nothing that she wanted to do again in the near future. She would smile at the little Fox as they were on the way Doctor Travers. She tried to be as calming as possible towards Mac so that she wouldn't be more Disturbed than she already was.
Travers was his usual Friendly Self as they met him, he wasn't mad at the little Thief and his Friends and even seemed amused about the Antics of the Foxes. He quickly got the other chairs out of the Electric Vehicle and sat together with them while the Foxes enjoyed their meal. Isa would give some of the cat treats that she had in her pocket to Niki so that Kitty wouldn't be too jealous of the Foxes, or she might even try to steal some of the chicken breasts from them. Travers would take his time watching the Foxes while they were eating. The bunch was pretty Hungry and would Devour the Meat with Great Joy and Pleasure. Travers would only watch and smile at this as he was happy to see them so healthy and Happy. But after a while, he would Turn to Mac and Isa.
Travers: First let me dispel your Fears that Litle Lucille Might be able to Read your Thoughts. All Examinations and Research of the past, as well as the Experiences of the affected, have shown that this is not the Case. I am not sure what Doctor Saito has told you about me or my work here, but I have been Researching and Protecting Gaian Animals all my Life. All Reports that we have about Such Connections as you have experienced it, indicate that its only Emotional Conection. You can feel the Emotions of the Gaian Animal and the Gaian Animal Can feel your Emotions.
He would laugh about the comment that she would have loved to have an Examination of their Brains at the Time of the connection as he knew how much a Fox would Probably Resist such an Examination.
Travers: I wish you good luck in getting Lucille to Agree to such a Procedure. The Gaian Fox Might be much more Intelligent than an Earth Fox and is Comparable to Apes when it comes to intelligence, but I am sure she wouldn't understand what you would try to do with her and would Resist. As an Expert I wouldn't advise such a procedure. But I am Drifting Off, what you have experienced has happened before and even when it is still a Rare Occasion it is something that is completely New to us. I can't say if this was a one-time thing from Lucille or if this was an approach to becoming your Companion. But Both Scenarios are Possible and only time can tell which one is true. But the fact that Litle Lucille follows you around is a Pretty Big Sign that she might want to become your Companion. As for how easily she has connected to you that depends on you, I am sure that if you have more experience you could also block her access if you really want it. But all Experience Reports that I have read over the years told that they wouldn't want this as the Gaian Animals would only do these kinds of Connections when you need it or they want you to know how much they love you. But if you want to Read these Experience Reports yourself I would advise you to read them yourself. We have the Biography of one of the Researchers that got first Connected to a Gaian Animal in the Library, it's called "Vita mea cum animali ex planeta Gaia". But dont Worry only the Title is Written in Latin, the text is written in normal English. The Writer was a Viscount from Bretonia and one of the First Biologists from Cambridge who Visited Planet Gaia. He had a Connection to a Gaian Parrot
Isa would listen to Travers's explanations. She knew that this was all new to Mac and that she had many Questions about Lucille and the things that they had experienced. But Travers was really an Expert in his field and he knew almost Every Publication and Book that was ever made about Planet Gaia and the Gaian Animals. That was also the reason why they had offered him the Title of Head Biologist in Care of the Gaian Animals on Board. She was happy to have someone on board that was this Dedicated to care for these Animals. He was not only an Expert in the Theory but also a Certified Animal Doctor who could Treat Animals should they be sick or have an Injury. Isa was happy to have him on board. she would sip her coffee and then smile at them while she gave Niki a Scratch between the ears.
Isa: Well the good thing is that you have more than enough time to figure out your Relationship with Lucille while you learn the Traits of being a psychologist. I think that our Little Troublemaker here wanted to make you smile again and be happy. You can't treat her with human Standards, she is an Animal and dont have any Bad or Hidden Motives for the things that she does.
she said with a smile. She enjoyed the view as Lucille jumped into Mac´s lap and rubbed her head on the human. To Isa, it looked like Fox had already decided that her future lies with Mac. The little Fox would seek her Perfect Place on the Lap of the Doctor and would then fall asleep into a Nice and Deep Slumber. The little purple Fox looked comfy and Relaxed as she slept there and would make a cute Yawn before she closed her eyes.
Travers: I want...to...oh...well Looks like the Little Troublemaker has already made a Decision. You have to know that these Foxes are a bit Like Cats, they only sleep on a human when they are sure that they have someone that would keep them Safe from any Dangers. Gaian Foxes are Pack Animals and often live together in Family Unions. They can Become up to 90 Years old, but they Rarely Reach this Age in the Wilderness of Gaia. Mostly they become around 20 to 30 Years Old in the Wilderness, when they dont die of Other Predators or Sickness. Under Human Care, they often seem to "Bind" their Lives with their humans. But if you have More Questions about the Litel Furrball in your Lap then go and ask.
He said with a deep smile and a bit of Jealousy as he saw how trusting Lucille was towards Mac. Sure the Foxes would allow him to Pet them, but they were not Trusting him in the same way that Lucille Trusted Mac. Even after he had worked with them for all these years and cared for them they remained wild Animals. And of course, he was happy that they were not Domesticated or Tamed. That would be even worse to him because it would mean that they would have done the same thing that the Gallics Tried, it would mean that they had turned the Animals that Found a Sanctuary here, into a Circus for the Amusement of the Citizens and the Patients of the Healing Heart. And that was something that he wanted to prevent from happening. Of course, he was happy when Two would become Companions like it was hopefully the Case for Lucille and Mac. But first and foremost he was a Biologist and Protector of these Animals.
