[Lance is finally getting his life back into some semblance of 'together', at least in comparison to how it's been the last few weeks. He's still very concerned about what might be going on with Brennan's disappearance, but he can't do anything about that and so he's trying to focus on what he can do, which includes getting back to Kyna about her necklace even if he's... Very late, on that.
So he sends her a message, trying to preemptively give incentive for her to accept the necklace back with the promise of meeting a cute animal.]
Have you ever pet a fennec fox?
[And then, after he sends that, he realizes he should add--]
That isn't some sort of terrible euphemism; I'm taking care of Dr. Brennan's pet fox. Her name is Sandy.
