'Twas not always that Kai found himself in settled areas. Most of the time it was completely by accident; not to say he actively avoided them, but rather that he didn't... fit in. By no particular fault of his own, mind; after all, it was fairly difficult for a blue-furred, humanoid fox to really fit in much of anywhere. Though, in fairness, having a personality that was fairly oblivious to many of the nuances of society didn't really help.
Nor did the frequent stares, really, but as long as nothing happened from it, he couldn't be expected to mind.
So, quite aimlessly the fox wandered, carrying himself by naught but random will on which direction to turn at any given time. There was the distinctive scent of food from place to place, sure, but... well, for once, he'd just eaten, so wouldn't bother the people with the odd debates about what trinkets he might have been handing them at any given time. Trying to explain 'money' to him had, on more than one occasion, proven a lost cause. After all, he was handing over something of apparent value at such times, was he not?
Ah, and children ahead. That generally caught his attention, usually for no other reason than... than... seeing what they were like compared to animal children? Hm... seemed as good a reason as any, for as much as he didn't care enough to think on it. So, curiously he made his way in that general direction, to see whatever it was they might have been doing.
