Brutus Gets The Wrong Fox

I have grown to adore Brutus, such a down to earth carefree kinda guy and I love that, reminds me of me. xD

Just wait until Brutus grabs ahold of Mike’s tail and pulls...

Brutus: I will hug you and pet you and squeeze you… Mike: I'm not Carver... Brutus: ...and pat you and pet you and... Mike: You're hurting me. Put me down, please. Brutus: ...and rub you and caress you and... Mike: I AIN'T NO CARVER!!!!

I imagine this leading to Clovis arriving home in the evening, to find Brutus and Mike playing board games in the living room. Clovis doesn't know Mike and Mike doesn't know Clovis, and he secretly wants Brutus to be happy, so this becomes an ongoing regular thing with neither Clovis' camp nor Trace and Flora's camp the wiser.

"I will name him George, and i will hug him and pet him and squeeze him!"

Yeah, I can't imagine Carver would be any more enthusiastic about this than Mike is 😂 Maybe we need a sketch of Mike and Carver at a bar (or physical therapy waiting room), commiserating?

EMBRACE THE HUG.

Awh, sweet.

Mike is lucky he is getting a friendly hug from someone he doesn't know. Meanwhile the real Carver his running for his life on a female only island.

Guild Goon: "Should we tell him that's not-?" Clovis: "No, no. Let him be." GG: "But what'll happen when he finds out that isn't the real... y'know?" Clovis: "He won't. When Carver disappeared, Brutus fell into quite a slump. He was basically useless as a bodyguard. So, I started trolling the docks and hiring foxes to play 'Carver'. This one makes Carver Number Five." GG: "That's... kinda creepy, but... surprisingly sweet." Clovis: "Speak one word of this to anyone, and you'll be Carver Number Six." GG: "But... I'm not even a fox." Clovis: "Do you honestly think that will matter to Brutus?" GG: *Gulps.*

Mike just roll with it if you don't want your spine broken
