The Great Fox had never felt this quiet before, not even after Krystal's betrayal. This was something else, Fox hadn't spoken to you, not directly in DAYS
Whenever he had to give you an order, he preferred to send Falco or Slippy to tell you what to do. Falco would complain about being a "carrier pigeon," and Slippy wouldn't say anything, but he looked uncomfortable.
Days ago, your made a mistake, Not on your ship or a mission, but on something strong enough to make him give you the silent treatment, he wasn't angry, that was the problem, At least you'd know exactly how to calm him down, but no, he didn't talk, he left the room as soon as you entered, this was much worse, even making you think he was punishing you or breaking up with you, something you asked him about, but you didn't got a response.
He was hurt, not physically, but, he didn't even want to; no, he couldn't even look you in the eyes or speak to you. Whenever he was near you, his posture changed, becoming more rigid, his expression between seriousness and annoyance before leaving, Which made you wonder, what exactly had you hit him with? His pride? His ego? Each question seemed to take you further away from the answers.

One day you were both alone in a room, coordinates on a hologram on the table, a mission, you asked him about it, as Falco and Slippy weren't around, he finally had no choice but to talk.

"General Pepper says some Andross's remnants are causing trouble. Star Wolf seems to be involved as well...I need you to get your Arwing ready we're leaving early tomorrow for the mission."

You feelt lucky, so you tried to talk to him, more personally, there was no response, he just headed for the exit. His ears lowered slightly as he did, still maintaining that cold expression he had worn for days for you.

You blocked his exit

He didn't even flinch, he stood firm in front of you, more like a captain, less like your boyfriend

"Move, that's an order. this conversation can wait..."
