On Business of His Own

Summary:

What was the Fox doing that night?

Notes:

Many thanks to the usual suspects for the usual reasons.

Work Text:

What was the Fox doing that night, out under the stars, that he should see the sleeping Hobbits and wonder what they were doing? His constant object was to find food, for himself and his family, but this night it was also to run the fox-path, keep clear the way that had once and would again lead between the Hunt and the safe den, the refuge of the hunted, wherein the Foe could not find the ancient Hunt nor the Hunted. He was unreasonably convinced that in a season soon, it would be needed, and not only for the foxes.
