...It takes him a moment and a half to notice the person nearby, but when he does, his reaction is sudden and startled. Even if he hides his hands, there’s no way to hide the bloodstains streaked on his cheek, over his mouth.
How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)? What are their thoughts on marriage? How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?
How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?
Koh becomes petulant and possessive. At his worst, he becomes demanding when it comes to attention, sulky and insecure. He is not ordinarily a jealous sort so such feelings come out more extremely when he does feel them.
What are their thoughts on marriage?
What is marriage? He doesn’t have a concept of marriage, being born a beast, although he understands affection, love, and devotion.
How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?
He would ask question after question until he understands or is satisfied with his level of understanding. He does not pretend to be more intelligent than he is and grows bothered the longer he keeps unasked questions inside.

The fox shook his head as he exited in front of the other man, twirling on his heels to take several steps backwards simply so he could face Mikazuki as he spoke. “As long as it is not a city of steel and smoke, or the great ocean to the west, you do not have to worry for my health. Even then… aa, I would worry for yours before mine…”
“I am eager for company. It is good to have someone to speak to! And to share the sights with… I spend my days alone, with brief company. Such is the life of a fox.”
“But why mine? Away from the settlements of men, I will not languish–unless quite the most fantastic of encounters should happen.” He followed Yiyun down the stairs–into the streets, toward the forest beyond. Damp air, the scent of turned earth, and bird song hung heavily in the air. The forest was permeated with the odor of rotting vegetation, but it was easy to see from the explosion of greenery that this was absolutely not a bad sign. Things lived and died, and in turn enabled other things to live. The same was true even for swords, forged and melted down, the steel passed on to another blade.
“Then, I shall endeavor to be good company for you, O spirit; let us delight in the sights, and the sounds. If the time should come, that you need to divest yourself of me, you need only speak of it.”
Yiyun pressed the tips of his index fingers together as he thought about how to respond to such a simple query. The answer was simple as well, really. The only thing that gave it weight was the reminder that he was yet a beast. “...Aa, in those places where I cannot touch the land, I will grow hungry. I am... poor company, in such a state...”
“But don’t worry! I’m confident I will be fine for however long we will keep one another’s company. You wished to see the springs, yes? Let us make our way there.”
I do not know if I am kind…
Kindness is being able to see your opponent.

The fox turned away obediently, ears perking up to listen for the man’s movements behind him. His tail betrayed his still very much present energy, flicking back and forth, back and forth, even as he stood still. It would not do, after all, if he was seen exiting in a different form than when he entered. What was seemingly normal and commonplace for spirits, was strange for humans.
“Do I know of the springs? Or of the steppes?” His head tilted at Mikazuki’s query, one ear following the motion. He glanced briefly to see if the other was finished dressing. “…The spring is lovely and filled with plum flowers. Peaceful, home to water spirits. The steppes… I do not venture there often, but it is known to me.”
“I would not ask you to accompany me to the steppes, if they are too far from home and a risk to your health.” He folded his clothes carefully into his travelling sling, along with a few rations and a bamboo water bottle, and rose to his feet. “But the people there are of interest to me, and I would learn of them and their lands.”
“You, however, seem very enthusiastic.” He slid open the door, gesturing for Yiyun to leave ahead of him, then followed the spirit back into the streets. “Are you that eager to travel, or is it something else?”
The fox shook his head as he exited in front of the other man, twirling on his heels to take several steps backwards simply so he could face Mikazuki as he spoke. “As long as it is not a city of steel and smoke, or the great ocean to the west, you do not have to worry for my health. Even then... aa, I would worry for yours before mine...”
“I am eager for company. It is good to have someone to speak to! And to share the sights with... I spend my days alone, with brief company. Such is the life of a fox.”

“When you put it that way, it makes perfect sense…” He could not deny that it did, though the thought had not occurred to him before Mikazuki had spoken it aloud. Though it did not bring him any less joy. Lights danced about the fox like fireflies in the evening, and he struggled against the urge to become as a small child again, bouncing about. He did not expect men or any of theirs to want the company of one such as him for more than favors or as an entertaining pet.
“Very well! I shall guide you where you wish, and thereafter this little fox would be happy to keep you company!”
“Wonderful, wonderful!” The fox spirit certainly seemed to have a lot of energy, as it were. Was it a product of his relative youth? Or just a property of his composition and longevity? The true test proved to be if Koh could contain his exuberance long enough for them to reach the privacy of Mikazuki’s rooms. Finally, he slid the doors shut and turned back to face him. “I am going to change, and I suggest you avert your eyes.”
The bare-bones inn did not even afford him the privacy of a folding screen in the corner; fusuma divided the guest quarters into individual rooms, and beyond that, there was little else. He ruminated on such things for only a little as he tied his hair back with his customary ornate cord and tucked his obi.
“I heard tell of some rather lovely springs to the east… I meant to go there and make a small circuit of the south before travelling north to the steppes. Do you know of them?”
The fox turned away obediently, ears perking up to listen for the man’s movements behind him. His tail betrayed his still very much present energy, flicking back and forth, back and forth, even as he stood still. It would not do, after all, if he was seen exiting in a different form than when he entered. What was seemingly normal and commonplace for spirits, was strange for humans.
“Do I know of the springs? Or of the steppes?” His head tilted at Mikazuki’s query, one ear following the motion.

I do not venture there often, but it is known to me.”
three characters meme: Koh
RULES: Post three GIFs pictures of characters that have inspired, are associated with, or are relevant to your muse.
I could not find GIFs for all of the relevant characters so here are pictures.
Gentoka. Aside from their both being fox-based entities (kitsune), Koh shares the same blunt, nonchalant yet somewhat innocent nature as Gentoka.
Zelkova. Both Koh and Zelkova are mysterious, precocious child-type characters. Their youthful appearances belie a peculiar intelligence.
Kogitsunemaru. At the moment, he is just a faceclaim, though his personality inspires him a touch.
